3 Workhorses To Show Love

The Roofing, Guttering and Sidings of a house are of immense importance to you,the homeowner – they keep the structure and foundation dry.
Roofing

Roofing: Your roof takes care of you. At Rayneau, we recommend a yearly inspection that will help stop moisture damage and prevent expensive repairs. Here are some of the signs to look for:
      a)   A leaky roof
      b) The panel(s) are out of place
         c) The covering is broken or rusted
         d) Water is standing on the roof
         e) Masses of moss and lichen, which              could signal the roof is decaying                underneath
     f)  Popped nails that need to be                   hammered back into place.

The rains are here and it’s an opportune time to ensure that your roof does not fall in any of the categories mentioned above. Come down to RCIP or call us at 450-7247 and let’s talk.
Guttering
Guttering: Gutters are designed to do one thing — channel water away from the foundation — and they’re critical to protecting the structural integrity of your house. But in order for gutters to do their job properly, they have to be kept in shape and not clogged, sagging, broken or loose, leaking at the seams, dented, water not draining due to improper slope and downspout is not broken.
If your house has no gutters at all, consider investing in a system. At Rayneau Construction & Industrial Products Ltd, we can provide you with the right gutters and accessories for your                                                                               home.

Siding
Siding: The windward siding of any home is usually the most affected. Shifting weather patterns and conditions are natural occurrences, and one of the most common reasons for siding failure. Other factors that affect the lifespan of your siding are poor maintenance, inferior material and incorrect installation.
Proper upkeep can extend the lifespan of any siding material; some siding systems do not last long because they are made from substandard material. Also, even quality siding will eventually fail if they are not properly installed. For all your siding needs come to RCIP Ltd for professional advice, the quality materials you will need, and you can also hire our certified installers to ensure proper workmanship.

Do not let the rains catch you off guard. Rayneau Construction & Industrial Products Ltd have all what you will require for your roofing, guttering and siding for you home.  Visit us today at our spacious location on the Corinth Main Road or Call us at 450 RCIP (7247) for an inspection or request a quote.

Show your Roofing, Guttering, and Siding some love. They keep your structure and foundation dry.

Banse Road Paving, 90% Complete

Section in upper Banse
There can be no doubt in anyone's mind the CIE Ltd is one of the most efficient Construction company on island and by extension the region the works Residents in the Banse community, and by extension the South are all shouting with one voice at the speed with which CIE Ltd was able to get the road to this stage. To them this is important because they suffered the inconvenience of dust for sometime - but this they did not mind.

CIE Ltd and quality work are synonymous. One only has to go back to the Bois D'Orange Bridge to qualify this. At that ceremony the Minister for Infrastructure, Port Services and Transport said, “It is evident that the bridge was built with impeccable workmanship and assets.” This same analogy can be applied to the work done thus far on the Banse/La Haut and Laborie Main Road Project. This I am sure can be attributed to Vinay, the CIE Ltd engineer's no nonsense approach, the right crew, and not to forget the constant supervision and input which Mr Gajadhar, the team leader himself brings to the work force.
Section in the heart of Banse
Presently the section of road, about one km in length, from the Laborie/Banse junction ( near the gas station) towards Banse is now being prepared to be paved by next week. So says Vinay.
 Duplessis, a Ministry of Infrastructure technician on the site, believes the works in the Laborie may take a little time due to the reconfiguration of the pipe network. 
 However Wasco has contracted  Pete's Plumbing Company to do the necessary works. During the coming weeks the plumbing team should start re-configuring the residential and commercial water lines in the Village to prepare for the road works. 
Section in lower Banse

Works are continuing in the La Haut section. These are mostly agricultural roads and they will be paved using concrete. The farmers in this community have welcomed this initiative to concrete the road instead of placing asphalt, for the mere reason the road will have a longer lifespan. 
To put it simply, work is going on at a rapid and steady pace and is on schedule. The residents, the Ministry and the contractor are all happy.

Save Your Home in 17 Seconds

House fire
Recently the island has been gripped by a spate of house fires which have left two or three fatalities and many families homeless. The fire in Micoud on June 1, 2015, which started in a workshop and completely destroyed  four houses is the latest tragedy. Are you equipped to handle a fire at your home?  The distance of a fire station, lack of fire hydrants and the scarcity of water combined with this dry weather can be a nightmare for any homeowner if a fire were to start at their home. The first 30 seconds of a fire are are crucial. Get yourself ready - come to Rayneau.

The 6 most common causes of House fires are :
1.   Candles : Candles are often forgotten and can burn out of control
2.    Smoking:  Smoking is a major cause of residential fires. People fall asleep while smoking and set their bed, chair or couch on fire, which can easily result in a fatality.
3. Children: Small children unknowingly playing with fire inside the home are a parent’s worst nightmare. Older kids who know what fire can do – and just want to see what happens – are equally dangerous
4.    Gases:  Home fires are also caused by the propane gas. An errant spark coupled with a small leak can create a combustible situation.
5.    Appliances:  Many of the appliances used in the home ( stoves , microwave, blenders, dryers etc) do generate heat or get heated up after extended use. Cooking utensils left unattended is a frequent cause of avoidable fires.
6.    Electrical: Shoddy electrical work within a home – poorly connected circuits, loose wires, improper grounding – is also a danger that is often unknown to homeowners. Any device that uses electrical power has fire potential. Over-heated lighting equipment comes in at the top of the list.

Many victims of the house fires have openly said that they had to stand by helplessly as they watched their property turn to ashes as they await the fire trucks.This should not be!  
The first 30 seconds of a fire are crucial and will determine whether a fire will escalate and be large enough to be a threat to yourself your family or your home.  At Rayneau Construction and Industrial Products (RCIP Ltd) we offer the latest technology in fire extinguishers -  an aerosol Fire Extinguisher, to save your home before a fire takes root -

The Fire Gone Fire Extinguisher is an essential piece of equipment that everybody should possess. This small can, maybe the difference between life and death. According to the St Lucia Fire Service, cooking accidents are the major causes of fire in the home. Yet how many people could  say they would have to had something to fight fire with if this situation arose.

The Fire Gone Fire Extinguisher delivers a strong, targeted stream that goes right to the source of the fire, coating it with fire-fighting foam. The extinguisher can be used on most electric, grease fabric and wood fires. The Fire Extinguisher foam is biodegradable so it is easy to clean up and won’t damage surfaces.

How to use:  Remove the safety tab, aim and pull the trigger. Holding the can 3 to 4 feet from the fire, spray across the base of the flames using gently sweeping motions. The contents of each can lasts about 17 seconds which should be more than enough to put out the fire.

Whether you are at home, in your car or on your boat, stay safe with Fire Gone Fire Extinguisher.

Don’t be caught with your pants down in case a fire comes your way.

3 Sections Of the Banse Road Paved

On Friday May 29, 2015 the asphalt crew of CIE Ltd, working on the Banse/La Haut, Laborie Village Road Project showed true grit as they completed a marathon work session which went way into the wee hours of Saturday morning. Over two Kilometers of road was laid with asphalt and compacted.(Click on video below).


The paving process
CIE Ltd has one of the most modern asphalt plant in the region; there the aggregates are combined to get the desired asphalt mix which is then loaded into the tri-axle trucks for delivery to the site
Before the paving operation starts, loose material is removed on the base material using a blower and/or the dusting machine. Then the tar distributor is used to spray tar on the unpaved surface. This film of tar serves as the prime and tact coats. The coats are then allowed to cure before the actual paving resume. The purpose of having these coats is to prevent any slippage between the surface and overlay during or after the compaction.

To start the paving operation, the paver is positioned properly onto the road. The screed of the paver is lowered onto block of the same depth of the loose asphalt mat that is going to be laid on the road. The hauling truck loads the paver and the paving process begins. The loading truck is always between the oiling truck and the paver.
Paved section of road
As the paver lays the asphalt layer on the oiled base, other workers in the crew spread the hot mix so that it seals the road edges properly. The last process of paving is compaction. During this process the roller with rubber tires compacts the asphalt as soon as the paver lays the mix and the workers level out the road edges.
The three areas that have been paved are 1. Upper Banse, starting from the last residential house to about 700 meters towards Laborie. 2. Another  550 meters at a place along the Banse road called “Farleers My Haut” and finally 1 kilometers from the Marjomel gap towards Laborie. 
Paved section in Upper Banse

Many of the residents are relieved. “The dust is no more” a middle aged man remarked. In spite of the frequent watering of the road this was not sufficient to keep the road always moist. Water had to be trucked from the Piaye river to keep the residential areas dust free. A teacher, who mentioned that she understands that development comes with inconvenience remarked, " We can now open our windows once more. That's a highway we have here you know.  I only hope our drivers use this highway sensibly." Another young man, putting his piece as a minibus raced pass by "You see what I talking about", he uttered shaking his head.

During this week it is hoped that most of the Banse road will be paved if not completed. When asked about how near completed the project is, Duplesis,the Ministry's onsite technician remarked, "The work should be completed by August/September." August/September."
