Article Abstract:
Civil engineering firms and organizations may realize more effective project design initiatives by using servers and workstations to expedite data interaction between desktop computers. The organization should first identify the personnel who needs to be included in the proposed network. Java programs should then be used to link engineers to applications for the tasks assigned to them, after which the engineering data should be converted into a corporate resource. The models created by the engineers should be enhanced and transformed into a 'user interface' for the company's database.

Article Abstract:
The California Century Freeway (Interstate 105), opening late in 1993, is the the first to integrate high-occupancy vehicle lanes, a light-rail line, transit stations and park-and-ride lots. The 17.3-mile I-105 runs from Norwalk to Los Angeles International Airport and links with I-605, I-710, I-110 and I-405. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will add car-pool lanes over the next 30 years to further ease up the usual four-hour traffic rush. Meanwhile, Caltrans has already invested $175 million for its program to resettle residents displaced by the construction.

Article Abstract:
An agreement signed between the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and the Environmental Protection Agency in 1991 allows the construction of the Red Mountain Freeway through the Indian Bend Wash Superfund Site. According to the agreement, ADOT will not be responsible for the existing pollution of ground water and, in return, it will clean up the landfill material in the construction area. Removal of the northern landfills after the completion of freeway's construction will provide flood control from McClintock Drive to the Pima Freeway.
