Two major contracts have recently been awarded by Ontario Hydro for the construe- tion of Wesleyville Generating Station, 8 kilometers west of Port Hope on Lake Ontario. Ebastec-Lavalin Inc., a consulting engineer- ing firm, has been awarded a contract worth about $20 million to provide specified engineering services to complete the design of the generating station. Ontario Hydro will continue to provide the project management and procurement fune- tions from the office of the Toronto-based con- sultant and will continue to manage all construc- tion on site. A $892,200 contract to construct about 19,000 feet of railway siding at Wesle ville has been awarded to Loram International of Cal ary, Alberta. Work on the railway siding is expected to begin Ma 1, 1978, and continue ai summer. The siding will lead from the main CNR line across Hydro property to the powerhouse. Dur- ing construction it will be used to bring heavy equipment and materials onto site. After the station is completed it will be used for operational maintenance pur- poses. Flagpersons will be assigned to control vehicular traffic at the Lakeshore Road level crossing when the trains arrive with construction equipment. Another siding to be used by the unit trains which will bring fuel oil to the site will be constructed at a later date. Construction of the 2,152 megawvatt oil-fired generating station con- tinues this winter with concrete being placed in foundations covered with heated enclosures., Hydro Line May Create Severances Ontario Hydro's Lennox to Oshawa power transmission line has caused concern among some Town of New- castle officials. In three reports to New- castle council, municipal staff stated that the corridor could create building lots in places where the municipality does not wish to see development occur. The extra lots would be created if a landowner sold a right-of-way to Hydro which crossed his property. This would have the effect of creating a land severance. "The location of some of these severed lots may be in areas where the town does not wish to see development occur. Some of the parcels created may have frontage only on an unimproved or unopened road or may be landlocked," said Town Planner George Howden, in a report to council. "Several enquiries have been received by the building department with respect to the availability of building permits for lots created by expropriation of land", said H.G. Wight, chief building inspector for the municipality. In another report, Town of Newcastle Works Director, Jack Dunham stated that he had concerns over the effects that numerous requests for land severances could have. "No unopened and or unim- proved road," the works director said. Newcastle council is recommending a meeting with Ontario Hydro to discuss the problem. Advertising.. keeps people working.

How do you know if there's enough insula- tion inside the wall? One obvious way to tell is if you feel the cold striking into the house (which means that heat is leaking out) whenever you go from the middle of a room toward an outside wall in winter. customers, that their stores will be clused all day Tuesday and Wednesday, so their staffs may enjoy the holidays.

Bowmanville Lions Club However, if you wait until winter to find that out, you may not be able to retrofit (reinsulate) your walls before the warm weather returns. Two things you can check before winter are the kind of insulation you have in the walls and the way in which the walls have been con- structed.

Here's a rough guide: wall insulation should have an R value, (resistance to heat pas- sing through it) of at least 12, which equals 4 inches of loose fi insu- lation or 3½ to 4 inches of batt or blanket insula- tion containing glass fibre or rock wool. There are, of course, many other types of materials available. The five basic ways to retrofit walls are with loose polystyrene, blow- in insulation, foamed-in- place insulation, wall renovation, and outside insulation. But, before ybu take your pick, read on. Loose polystyrene in- sulation can be a do-it- yourself job and does not cost much, but you can use this method only if your wall space opens into the attic and goes right down to the found- ation. You can test this with a weight on a string that's long enough to go all the way down. Blown-in insulation means that you get a contractor with special eauipment to blow loose fill into a wood-frame wall that is hollow, or almost, but has obstruc- tions that stop you from pouring insulation into it (as above). For this, an access hole must be drilled into the wall space from the outside or inside, or from the attic or basement. Foamed-in-place insu- lation is also a job for a contractor who has the proper equipment, and is an option for filling the space inside a wood- frame wall, and also some masonry walls. However this approach should only be taken if the wall has no insula- tion whatsoever. The foam is ureaformalde- hyde and it is injected into the wall space in semi-liquid form. (Make sure any U.F. foam you buy meets Canadian Government Specifications Board quality standards.) Wall renovation is a good way to insulate if you are undertaking major rennovations anyway. With a wood- frame house you can remove the wall board or aster from the inside and fit the insula- tion (such as batt or blanket) into the wall space. Another way with either wood-frame or masonry walls is to build a new wall inside the old one and insulate it. Outside insulation is a good method if you happen to be putting new siding on your home. Polystyrene insu- lation can be inserted students Stephen Sawyer, right and Mary Talsma, left. between the old and the new siding. This is just a quick run-down of ways to retrofit walls and, by omitting the details, has oversimplified the job. However, it is not very difficult, and it repays you in comfort and fuel savings.
