DESCRIPTION: After an exhaustive facility study of three flood-damaged worship sites, the majority of the parish properties were closed while the historic Saint Luke’s church site was renovated and expanded, creating one central worship location. This site was designed to become an entire religious complex with room for education, socializing, and prayer.
JURY COMMENTS: This project is a clear strategic idea about how to engage the street and create a new presence for the church in the community.

This is an early 20th Century Arts and Crafts Style home in the Philadelphia region. It was originally built with a combination of sandstones and an early form of Portland Cement. Over time, water became trapped within the walls and deteriorated the sandstones.
G.Galli Masonry repaired the damaged stones using the Natural Hydraulic Lime based Lithomex repair material and repointed the entire house using Ecologic® Mortar.
Many of the damaged stones are indistinguishable from the others.

The Ennis House is the largest of Frank Lloyd Wright's textile-block houses. In 1994, the Northridge Earthquake did severe damage here as well as the greater Los Angeles, CA region. Grandson Eric Lloyd Wright and long-time friend A. Louis Wiehle (of Wiehle-Carr Architecture)--both had been apprentices of Wright and, now, architects of their own renown--came together to see that this house stand proud on the hill for years to come.

It’s not often that we get called abroad for a job, but when we do, it’s always a fantastic experience. We have done a few jobs abroad in the past, including the restoration of Terracotta tiled restaurant floor at a hotel in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This job was closer to home at a chateau in the town of Arcis-le-Ponsart near Reims, located in the Champagne-Ardenne region of North Eastern France. As its name suggests, the Champagne-Ardenne region is famous for its champagne.
The owner of the chateau was, in fact, an English property developer. He asked us to work on two floors: a Terracotta tiled hallway, and a French Victorian tiled floor. The French style of Victorian tiles are actually made of encaustic cement rather than clay, so we were excited to have the chance to work on something a bit out of the ordinary.
It was going to be a long trip, so after packing the van with the necessary equipment and Tile Doctor products Heidi and I set off to France via the Channel Tunnel. Fortunately, we avoided any disruptions both on the way there and the way back!
On arrival at the chateau, we immediately spent two hours running tests on the two floors to determine the most effective processes. We had four days in which to complete the job, so it was essential to make sure our methods were correct before beginning to avoid any unwelcome surprises later on!
After running the tests, we set about cleaning the Victorian tiles using a combination of clean water and diamond burnishing pads. No damage was done to the tiles, and they polished up well. Following the cleaning process, we began sealing the floor using Tile Doctor Colour Grow, a sealer which helps to bring out the colour in the stone while also providing durable surface protection. We were only able to apply one coat of sealer, however, as the second coat kept smearing, preventing the shine from settling in – this was despite testing the process earlier. Nonetheless, we resolved to polish off the one coat we could apply with a fine burnishing pad. Thankfully, the results were still very good.
The Terracotta tiled hallway had no sealer, and so it had, over time, become very dirty. We cleaned the tiles using a solution of one part Tile Doctor Pro Clean to five parts clean water, in combination with a couple of black burnishing pads.
As you can see from the pictures, the combination really helped to lift out the ingrained dirt, leaving the tiles looking at their best again. The floor took three days to dry completely before we could begin the sealing process. Once the floor was dry enough to seal, we applied eight coats of Tile Doctor Seal & Go, which is suitable for use on a variety of internal, unsealed porous surfaces.
It was a long and exhausting week but the client was delighted with the results on both floors and left the following comments, he also mentioned using Tile Doctor in the future to work on the other properties he is developing.
“Thanks for yours and Heidi’s work in renovating our floors. It was also great to meet you guys and I hope you have enjoyed your visit to champagne and will come back some time. “

Located on the isolated Redbank Plain in Victoria’s High Country, the 210m² Alpine Residence is a modern alpine home. Off the grid, the brief was to design a high quality ‘original’ house appropriate for the alpine climate and remote location, minimise energy consumption and maintenance demands.
Materials and colours include galvanised iron and weather worn hardwood characteristic of the early mountain huts of the region. The building design allows the sun to penetrate its entire width with the concrete floor maximising thermal mass properties of the slab. The single pitched roof meets the essential requirement of stormwater catchment and snow management while minimising possible erosion to the natural hydrology of the site.
The first floor includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a living area overlooking the ground floor living room. The linear plan allows all rooms to open on to a northern balcony. The balcony roof is protected by the array of solar panels positioned so that snow damage from the roof is not possible. Other environmentally sustainable elements include solar power with LP gas generator backup and on-site sewerage purification system.

Benefits of Buying Electric Scooters for Sale in Perth
Environmental Advantages of Using Electric Scooters over Traditional Vehicles
Electric scooters offer several environmental benefits compared to traditional vehicles. Firstly, they produce zero emissions since they run on electricity instead of gasoline or diesel fuel. An electric scooter contributes less to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, making it a more eco-friendly transportation option.
By choosing an electric scooter for your daily commute or short trips, you're helping to reduce noise pollution as these scooters operate quietly without the loud engine noises associated with conventional vehicles.
Cost Savings Associated with Owning an E-Scooter
One significant advantage of owning an electric scooter is the potential for significant cost savings. Unlike cars or motorcycles, electric scooters have lower upfront costs and are generally more affordable.
They also require less maintenance since they have fewer moving parts and don't need regular oil changes or complex engine repairs. Moreover, charging an e-scooter is much cheaper than refueling a traditional vehicle with gasoline or diesel fuel. With rising fuel prices, investing in an electric scooter can help you save money in the long run.
Health Benefits and Convenience Offered by Electric Scooters
Besides being environmentally friendly and cost-effective, electric scooters also provide health benefits and convenience for riders. Riding an e-scooter can be a fun way to incorporate physical activity into your daily routine, as it requires balance and engages your core muscles while cruising around town.
It's an excellent alternative for those who want to avoid sitting in traffic jams or struggling to find parking spaces in crowded areas.
Electric scooters are compact and lightweight, making them easy to maneuver through congested streets and narrow alleys where larger vehicles may struggle to navigate. They're also convenient for short-distance travel because they allow you to zip around quickly without worrying about finding parking spots or paying parking fees.
Age Considerations for E-Scooter Riding
There are certain age restrictions and legal requirements that need to be considered. Let's dive into the guidelines and factors you should consider when determining if someone is old enough to ride safely.
Age Restrictions and Legal Requirements
Countries and regions have varying regulations regarding the minimum age for riding an electric scooter. It is essential to familiarize yourself with the specific laws in your area before purchasing or allowing someone to ride an e-scooter. For example, some places may require riders to be at least 16 years old, while others may require a higher minimum age.
Factors to Consider for Safe Riding
Age alone should not be the sole factor determining whether someone can ride an e-scooter safely. Other considerations include physical capabilities, maturity level, and experience with similar modes of transportation.
While teenagers might meet the minimum age requirement, they may still need to gain the skills or judgment required for safe scooter riding.
Assessing whether an individual has the coordination, balance, and reaction time needed to operate an e-scooter effectively is crucial. Their ability to understand traffic rules and quick decisions on busy streets should also be considered.
Safety Precautions for Children and Teenagers
If you are considering allowing a child or teenager to ride an electric scooter, it is essential to take extra safety precautions. Here are some recommendations:
Supervision: A responsible adult should always supervise young children while riding their e-scooters.
Protective Gear: Ensure riders of all ages wear appropriate safety gear such as helmets, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards.
Training: Provide proper training on operating the scooter safely before allowing it out independently.
Traffic Awareness: Teach children and teenagers about traffic rules, road signs, and the importance of staying alert while riding.
Safe Riding Areas: Encourage riders to stick to designated bike lanes or paths away from heavy traffic whenever possible.
Following these safety precautions can minimize the risk of accidents and ensure a safer riding experience for children and teenagers.
Battery Life and Maintenance
Importance of Battery Life in Choosing an Electric Scooter
Battery life is a crucial factor to consider when shopping for an electric scooter. It determines how far you can ride before needing to recharge. A longer battery life means more time spent cruising the streets and less time worrying about finding a charging station.
So, if you plan on using your e-scooter for daily commutes or long rides, choosing one with a reliable and long-lasting battery is essential.
Tips for Extending Battery Life and Maximizing Performance
To get the most out of your electric scooter's battery, there are a few tips you can follow:
Avoid Overcharging: Overcharging can negatively impact the lifespan of your battery. Unplug it from the charger once it reaches its full charge to prevent any potential damage.
Store Properly: Store your e-scooter in a cool and dry place when not in use. Extreme temperatures can affect the performance of the battery.
Maintain Optimal Tire Pressure: Properly inflating your tires helps reduce friction and improves overall energy efficiency, ultimately extending your battery life.
Limit Excessive Weight: Carrying heavy loads or exceeding the weight limit specified by the manufacturer puts extra strain on the motor and drains the battery faster.
Avoid Steep Hills: Climbing steep inclines requires more power from the motor, which drains the battery quickly. If possible, avoid hilly routes or be prepared for a reduced range.
Use Eco Mode: Many electric scooters offer different riding modes, including an eco-friendly mode that conserves energy by limiting speed and acceleration. Utilizing this mode can help extend your battery life significantly.
Basic Maintenance Tasks to Keep Your E-Scooter Running Smoothly
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your e-scooter. Here are some basic maintenance tasks to keep in mind:
Clean Regularly: Wipe down the scooter's exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Clean the wheels and brake pads, as these can accumulate dust and affect performance.
Check Tire Tread: Inspect the tire tread regularly for signs of wear and tear. Replace worn-out tires promptly to maintain traction and safety.
Inspect Brakes: Test the brakes periodically to ensure they are functioning correctly. Adjust or replace brake pads if necessary.
Tighten Loose Screws: Check for any loose screws or bolts on your e-scooter and tighten them as needed. This helps prevent rattling noises and ensures structural integrity.
Keep Battery Charged: Even if you're not using your electric scooter regularly, keeping the battery charged at least partially to maintain its health is essential.
By following these tips and performing regular maintenance, you can maximize the lifespan of your electric scooter's battery while keeping it running smoothly.
Durability and Warranty Information
Durability is a crucial factor to consider. After all, you want your e-scooter to withstand the test of time and provide reliable performance. So, what should you look out for when assessing durability in an e-scooter?
Quality indicators for assessing durability
One crucial quality indicator is the build material of the scooter. Look for models made from high-quality materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, as they are more durable and resistant to wear and tear. Check if the scooter has a sturdy frame and solid construction to handle various terrains.
Another aspect to consider is the weight capacity of the e-scooter. It can support your weight comfortably without compromising its overall stability and performance. A higher weight capacity often indicates better durability.
Furthermore, pay attention to the design features that enhance durability. Features such as reinforced wheels, shock absorption systems, and water resistance can significantly contribute to the longevity of your electric scooter.
The importance of warranty coverage
Warranty coverage is another critical aspect to remember when buying an electric scooter. It provides peace of mind, knowing that you have protection if any issues arise with your purchase within a specified period.
A comprehensive warranty will typically cover manufacturing defects and faulty components. It's essential to carefully review the warranty conditions before purchasing to understand what is covered and for how long.
Dynamo Fitness Equipment's commitment to customer satisfaction
At Dynamo Fitness Equipment, we prioritize customer satisfaction by offering excellent warranty coverage on our range of e-scooters for sale. Our scooters have a comprehensive warranty policy that protects your investment.
Our warranty covers manufacturing defects and faulty components under normal use conditions. If any issues arise during the specified warranty period, simply contact our dedicated customer service team, who will guide you.
We believe in the quality and durability of our products, which is why we stand behind them with a solid warranty. Our goal is to provide you with a reliable and enjoyable e-scooter experience.
Features and Tips for Purchasing
Key Features to Look for When Shopping for an Electric Scooter
There are a few key features you should keep in mind. First and foremost, safety features should be at the top of your list. Look for scooters with features such as headlights, taillights, and reflectors to ensure visibility on the road.
Consider models with a reliable braking system, such as disc brakes or regenerative braking, which can help you stop quickly and safely.
Another critical feature to consider is the weight capacity of the scooter. Choose a scooter that can comfortably support your weight without compromising its performance.
It's also essential to check the maximum speed and range of the scooter. If you plan on using it for longer commutes or trips, opt for a larger battery capacity and a more extended-range model.
Tips on Choosing the Right Size, Weight Capacity, and Range for Your Needs
Finding the right size electric scooter is crucial for both comfort and maneuverability. Consider handlebar height and deck width when selecting a scooter that suits your body type. Ensure that you have enough legroom while riding and that the handlebars are at a comfortable height.
Weight capacity is another vital consideration when purchasing an electric scooter. Be sure to choose one that can accommodate your weight, plus any additional items you may carry while riding. Exceeding the weight limit could affect the performance of the scooter.
Regarding range, consider how far you need to travel on a single charge. If you plan on using your scooter primarily for short trips around town, a lower range may suffice. However, if you anticipate longer rides or require more flexibility regarding distance covered per charge, opt for a model with an extended range.
Advice on Comparing Prices and Researching Customer Reviews Before Making a Purchase
When shopping for an electric scooter, comparing prices and researching customer reviews before purchasing is essential. Take the time to browse different retailers and online platforms to find competitive prices. Some retailers may even offer price match options or additional incentives, so explore all your options.
Customer reviews can provide valuable insights into the performance and reliability of specific scooter models. Look for feedback on factors such as battery life, durability, and overall user experience. Remember that while some negative reviews are expected, pay attention to any recurring issues or concerns raised by multiple customers.
Conclusion
