Floating Utilities ~ Waller Marine's Power Barges

Very interesting to see these Waller Marine-built power barges...

"...two 300' x 100' barges, each equipped with GE 7FA turbines, that have a combined power generating capacity in excess of 340 MW of electricity. [...] launched in 180 days. Waller Marine designed and managed the construction of the barges, along with the installation of the power plants on the barges, utilizing over 900 men working in shifts, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. This video shows the highlights and progress of the construction, the launch of the barges and their subsequent movement by tug and heavy lift vessel."

FYI, here's inside of the GE 7FA's...

Envac ~ Pneumatic Vacuum Disposal Systems!-)

Instead of garbage cans and stinky trucks, why not use Envac's automated pneumatic vacuum waste collection and disposal system?!

"Envac invented the vacuum waste system. The first vacuum system was installed in 1961, and today the systems are found all over the world -- in residential areas, business premises, town centres, industrial kitchens, hospitals and airports. The system is a part of the city infrastructure, just like electricity, sewage, water supply etc."

Why blow when you can suck!-) Behold hilarious Envac promo video...
