ГЕС John H. Kerr

ГЕС John H. Kerr — гідроелектростанція у штаті Вірджинія (Сполучені Штати Америки). Знаходячись між ГЕС Leesville (44 МВт) (вище по течії) та ГЕС Гастон, входить до складу каскаду на річці Roanoke, яка дренує східний схил Аппалачів та впадає до затоки Batchelor Bay (частина лагуни Албемарл, котра відокремлена від Атлантичного океану Зовнішніми мілинами). У межах проекту річку перекрили бетонною греблею висотою 44 метри та довжиною 849 метрів, яка потребувала 477 тис. м3 матеріалу. Крім того, для утримання водосховища звели земляні дамби загальною довжиною 5,9 км, на які пішло 917 тис. м3 породи. В результаті з'явився резервуар, витягнутий по долині Roanoke на 63 км, з площею поверхні 200 км2 та об'ємом 3,4 млрд м3, з якого 1,58 млрд м3 зарезервовано для протиповеневих заходів, а 1,27 млрд м3 можуть використовуватись для виробництва електроенергії. Можливо також відзначити, що знадобилась окрема земляна дамба висотою 28 метрів та довжиною 640 метрів, яка разом з насосною станцією потужністю 3,9 МВт захищала від затоплення вольфрамову копальню Tungsten Queen, котра на момент будівництва гідрокомплексу розглядалась як критично важлива для забезпечення обороноздатності країни. Пригреблевий машинний зал обладнали сімома турбінами типу Френсіс — шістьома потужністю по 32 МВт та однією з показником 12 МВт. Використовуючи напір у 27 метрів, вони забезпечували виробництво 427 млн кВт-год електроенергії на рік. На початку 2010-х більш потужні гідроагрегати за допомогою австрійської компанії Andritz модернізували до показника у 46 МВт, а загальна номінальна потужність станції зросла до 268 МВт. Видача продукції відбувається по ЛЕП, розрахованій на роботу під напругою 115 кВ. Примітки

Joint Base Myer–Henderson Hall

Joint Base Myer–Henderson Hall is a joint base of the United States Armed Forces, located across multiple sites in the National Capital Region. It is jointly made up of Fort Myer (in Arlington), Fort McNair (in Washington, D.C.), and Henderson Hall (in Arlington). It is the local residue of the Base Realignment and Closure, 2005 process. It is commanded by the United States Army but has resident commands of Army, Navy, and Marines. Most conspicuous is the Arlington National Cemetery Honor Guard. The two eponymous bases are co-located along the west boundary of the cemetery, and Fort McNair is across the Potomac River, in Washington, D.C., on the Anacostia River. On Fort McNair sits Grant Hall which is the location of the 1865 military tribunal of the conspirators of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Each quarter the Hall is open to the public where people can visit the courtroom and learn more about the trials. Operations Fort Myer is headquarters to service personnel working throughout the National Capital Region. The post provides housing, support, and services to thousands of active-duty, reserve, and retired military, members of the U.S. Coast Guard, and their families stationed in the United States Army Military District of Washington. The JBMHH's mission is to operate the Army's community and support Homeland Security in the nation's capital. Stationed here are The First and Fourth battalions of the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard); since August 2011, 'A' Company (Commander in Chief's Guard), which was stationed at Fort McNair, D.C; and The U.S. Army Band "Pershing's Own". The gravesite of Black Jack, the riderless horse in the state funerals of General of the Army Douglas MacArthur and U.S. Presidents John F. Kennedy, Herbert Hoover, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Lyndon B. Johnson, is located on Summerall Field, 200 feet (61 m) northeast of the parade ground's flagpole. Due to its proximity to Arlington National Cemetery, this is also the base of operations for most Honor Guards services and burial teams. A large percentage of burials in Arlington National Cemetery originate from Old Post Chapel, one of the two chapels on Fort Myer. Visitors are also given access to the caissons, stables and the Old Guard Museum. The military's largest child development center, named the Cody Child Development Center (CDC), is located here. The Pentagram is written and produced here. It is a weekly newspaper that is delivered to the joint base and the Pentagon. References External links Joint Base Myer–Henderson Hall website

Booker T. Washington National Monument

i3i6 Das Booker T. Washington National Monument ist eine ehemalige Tabakfarm in der Nähe der Ortschaft Hardy (Franklin County) im US-Bundesstaat Virginia. Auf ihr wurde 1856 der Pädagoge und Schwarzenrechtler Booker T. Washington als Sklave geboren. Anlässlich seines 100.

Booker T. Washington National Monument

The Booker T. Washington National Monument is a National Monument near the community of Hardy, Virginia, and is located entirely in rural Franklin County, Virginia. It preserves portions of the 207-acre (0.90 km2) tobacco farm on which educator and leader Booker T. Washington was born into slavery on April 5, 1856. It provides interpretation of Washington's life and achievements, as well as interpretation of 1850s chattel slavery and farming through the use of buildings, gardens, crafts and animals. Congress authorized the Booker T. Washington Memorial half dollar to fund the purchase of the site. This commemorative half dollar was the first US coin to feature an African American, and was minted from 1946 to 1951 at three different mints. 18 varieties of the coin were produced, and more than 1.5 million were sold (primarily to collectors). Yet, after the coin's production was finished, the BTW Commission owed more money than it had assets, and the Commonwealth of Virginia had to step in to provide funds to purchase the site. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966 and designated a National Monument on April 2, 1956.

Barrett's Ferry Bridge

The Barrett's Ferry Bridge, officially known as the Judith Stewart Dresser Bridge, is a fixed-span bridge which carries State Route 5 across the Chickahominy River between Charles City County and James City County in eastern Virginia. It connects popular tourism destinations of the James River Plantations with Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown. The current bridge, which opened on January 24, 2009, replaced the deteriorating 70-year-old bridge. 1939 bridge The original bridge, built in 1939 by Tidewater Construction, was a swing-span movable bridge. It was a two-lane facility with a history of opening-closing failures and expensive repairs, as well as height restrictions due to clearance being 13'11" tall. It functioned as a swing-span bridge, pivoting on its axis to allow boats to pass through an opening rather than lifting upward like a drawbridge. The bridge was 2,025 feet long and was 24 feet wide from curb to curb. It was built using timber pilings and had a concrete and steel driving deck. Among repair problems as the bridge aged was shifting of the timber pilings. The current bridge has a height restriction for boats of only 12 feet except when opened. VDOT closed the bridge several times for limited periods in 2004 when the swing mechanism failed to completely close the bridge, said state officials. The closure inconvenienced residents who regularly used the bridge, forcing on them a 63-mile detour to cross the river. Some frustrated residents parked vehicles at each end of the disabled bridge and either walked or rode golf carts across it. That was when the state decided to replace the aging bridge, which was traveled by an estimated 3,500 vehicles per day, said VDOT Williamsburg Resident Administrator Todd Halacy. Blasting as part of demolition of the old bridge occurred on March 7, 2009. 2009 bridge The current bridge opened on January 24, 2009, about seven months ahead of schedule, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). Construction on the new span, estimated to cost $33.6 million, began in 2007. The new bridge crosses slightly west of the previous span. The fixed-span bridge rises 52 feet above the water and alleviates the necessity of stopping highway traffic to open the movable span on the former bridge, as well as being more convenient for the recreational boaters who can now pass freely upriver to a point near Walkers Dam. The new bridge also has a much wider travel surface to accommodate bikers and pedestrians. According to VDOT, it features two 12-foot travel lanes, two 10-foot shoulders and a 10-foot shared-use path (separated from the main roadway by a divider) incorporated into the Virginia Capital Trail project. The bridge is named for Judith Stewart Dresser, who died in 2003 at the age of 57. She lived on the river near the bridge and was a leader in the preservation of historic Route 5 and the establishment of a hospice house in Williamsburg. References
