IZINDABA EZINTSHA - Umoya ungase unikeze izimpendulo zokukhawulela uthuli lwamalahle olukhishelwe emoyeni eMphakathini waseNingizimu-mpumalanga.

Nakuba umoya ngezinye izikhathi uthwala uthuli olusuka ematheminali amalahle angaphambili aseNewport News ngaphezu kwe-Interstate 664 ukuya eMphakathini waseNingizimu-mpumalanga, idolobha kanye neDominion Terminal Associates basezigabeni zokuqala zokubheka ukuthi ukwakha uthango lomoya endaweni kungaba yisixazululo esisebenzayo yini.

Iphephandaba iDaily Press ligqamise udaba lothuli lwamalahle esihlokweni sangomhla zili-17 kuJulayi, sibheka kabanzi le nkinga nezisombululo zayo.Uthuli olukhishwa indawo yokugcina amalahle lungaphansi kakhulu kwezindinganiso zekhwalithi yomoya kahulumeni, ngokusho kokuhlolwa komoya, kodwa naphezu kwemiphumela emihle yokuhlolwa, izakhamuzi zaseNingizimu-mpumalanga Community zisakhononda ngokuthi uthuli luyinkathazo futhi zizwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngalo olubangela izinkinga zempilo.

UWesley Simon-Parsons, umphathi wezomphakathi kanye nezemvelo eDominion Terminal Associates, uthe ngoLwesihlanu inkampani ibheke ezintangweni zomoya eminyakeni embalwa edlule, kodwa manje isizimisele ukuphinde izihlole ukuze ibone ukuthi ubuchwepheshe buthuthukile yini.

"Sizoyibheka okwesibili," kusho uSimon-Parsons.

Lokho kube yizindaba ezinhle kuMeya yeNewport News uMcKinley Price, obelokhu efuna ukwehliswa kothuli lwamalahle oluphuma ezingqungqutheleni zamalahle.

UPrice uthe uma kungase kutholakale ukuthi uthango olunomoya luzonciphisa kakhulu uthuli, idolobha “nakanjani” lingacabanga ukusiza ukukhokhela lolu cingo.Izilinganiso ezimbi kakhulu zothango lomoya zingaba amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-3 kuya kwezingu-8, ngokusho kukamongameli wenkampani eyakha uthango lwendwangu yomoya.

“Idolobha nomphakathi bangathokozela noma yini nakho konke okungenziwa ukunciphisa inani lezinhlayiya ezisemoyeni,” kusho uPrice.

Imeya iphinde yathi ikholelwa ukuthi ukunciphisa uthuli kuzothuthukisa amathuba entuthuko emphakathini waseNingizimu-mpumalanga.

Ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukisiwe

USimon-Parsons uthe ngesikhathi inkampani ibheka ezintangweni zomoya eminyakeni embalwa edlule, ucingo bekufanele lube ngamamitha angu-200 ubude futhi "luzungeze yonke indawo," obekuzokwenza lubize kakhulu.

Kodwa uMike Robinson, umongameli we-WeatherSolve inkampani yaseBrithani Columbia, eCanada, uthe ubuchwepheshe buye bathuthuka eminyakeni yamuva, njengoba kunokuqonda kwamaphethini omoya.

URobinson uthe lokho kuholele ekutheni kungadingeki kangako ukwakha uthango oluphakeme lomoya, njengoba uthango manje aluphezulu kangako, kodwa lusazuza ukuncipha okufanayo othulini.

I-WeatherSolve iklama uthango lwendwangu yomoya yamasayithi emhlabeni jikelele.

"Ubude sebulawuleka kakhulu," kusho uRobinson, echaza ukuthi manje inkampani izokwakha uthango olulodwa oluya phezulu kanye nolokwehlisa umoya.

USimon-Parsons uthe izinqwaba zamalahle zingafinyelela kumamitha angu-80 ukuphakama, kodwa ezinye ziphansi ngamamitha angu-10.Uthe izinqwaba ezinde zijwayele ukufika ku-80 feet kanye njalo ezinyangeni ezimbalwa, bese zehla ngokushesha njengoba amalahle ethunyelwa kwamanye amazwe.

URobinson uthe uthango akumele lwakhiwe ukuze kwakhiwe inqwaba ende kunazo zonke, futhi noma ngabe bekunjalo, ukuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe kuzosho ukuthi ucingo seluzokwakhiwa ngamamitha angu-120, kunokuba amamitha angu-200.Kodwa uRobinson uthe kungaba nengqondo ukwakha uthango lokuphakama kwezinqwaba eziningi kunenqwaba ende kakhulu, mhlawumbe endaweni ephakeme ngamafidi angama-70 kuya kwangu-80, futhi usebenzise ezinye izindlela ukulawula uthuli ngezikhathi ezithile lapho. izinqwaba ziphakeme.

Uma idolobha kanye nenkampani beqhubekela phambili, uRobinson uthe, bazokwenza ukumodela ngekhompyutha ukuze babone indlela engcono kakhulu yokuklama ucingo.

Iphuzu likaLambert

UPrice uthe ubehlale ezibuza ukuthi kungani endaweni yamalahle eNorfolk, amalahle efakwa ngqo emikhunjini nasezikebheni zaseLambert's Point, kunokuba agcinwe ezinqwabani zamalahle njengoba kwenzeka eNewport News.

URobin Chapman, okhulumela iNorfolk Southern, ephethe isikhumulo samalahle kanye nezitimela eziletha amalahle eNorfolk, uthe banamamayela angama-225 wethrekhi kumahektha angama-400, futhi iningi, uma kungenjalo wonke, ithrekhi ibisendaweni ekuqaleni. 1960s.Ukwakha ikhilomitha elilodwa lethrekhi namuhla kuzobiza cishe isigidi esingu-$1, kusho uChapman.

I-Norfolk Southern kanye ne-Dominion Terminal ithumela inani elifanayo lamalahle.

Ngaleso sikhathi, uSimon-Parsons uthe cishe kukhona amamayela ayi-10 e-Dominion Terminal, okuyinkampani enkulu kulezi ezimbili esikhumulweni samalahle saseNewport News.UKinder Morgan naye usebenza eNewport News.

Ukwakha amathrekhi esitimela ukulingisa uhlelo lwe-Norfolk Southern kuzobiza ngaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-200 zamaRandi, futhi lokho ngeke kucabangele impahla kaKinder Morgan.Futhi uChapman uthe izingxenye eziningi ezengeziwe ngaphezu kwethrekhi entsha kuzodingeka zakhiwe ukuze zihambisane nohlelo lweNorfolk Southern.Ngakho-ke izindleko zokuqeda izinqwaba zamalahle futhi kusasebenza indawo yokugcina amalahle zingaba ngaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-200 zamaRandi.

"Ukufaka imali enkulu kuzoba yinkanyezi kubo," kusho uChapman.

UChapman uthe sekuphele iminyaka elinganiselwa kwengu-15 bengenazikhalo ngothuli lwamalahle.Izimoto zezitimela zifuthwa ngamakhemikhali lapho ziphuma ezimayini zamalahle, futhi kunciphisa uthuli endleleni.

USimon-Parsons uthe ukholelwa ukuthi ezinye zezimoto zifuthwe ngamakhemikhali, kodwa hhayi zonke, njengoba zisuka eKentucky naseWest Virginia ziya eNewport News.

Ezinye izakhamizi zaseNewport News zikhala ngokuvunguza uthuli ezimotweni zezitimela njengoba zimile kujantshi endleleni eya eNewport News waterfront.
