What's Lost is Found
Ch.9 The Climb
Other Chapters
By the time Freda and Gwyn had retold the incident to Mali, with oh-so-helpful commentary from Blaidd as she swapped Screech's loaded cars for empty ones, Screech was more than ready to start the path to Argol. It didn't help that the whisper was preening at the retelling of the story.
Finally Screech set off back down the grade with the loaded cars and the workmen returned from their break. Children from the town had gathered by the trackside to watch her depart, cheering as her whistle blasted out across the valley as she pulled off into the forest. The points to Argol were just past the clearing, and it took several minutes for the workers to clean and oil them so they could be flipped the right way. Through the trees, Screech could barely make out the remains of the old dirt road running parallel with the line.
The work to clear the line was harder here, as the line had been closed longer, with Screech occasionally stopping to remove trees that had sprouted in the trackbed.
The line was also steeper, winding up the hills towards the village. A good number of the sleepers were rotten, so whenever they stopped for workers to resecure the rails, Screech would use her tendrils to cut the fallen logs that had been collected into makeshift sleepers.
As they slowly climbed, Mali told her of Argol.
"It was the home for all the miners and quarrymen." She explained. "A small narrow gauge line ran from the terminus of this line into the hills, the little engines would take the workers to the mines and quarries in empty wagons, then return with full ones that would be transferred to the branchline."
"And after the line closed?" Screech asked
"They tried using lorries, but the roads weren't meant for the loads. They were in need of serious repair even before the line to Glain closed."
'And what became of the little engines?' The whisper asked.
Mali frowned when Screech repeated the question. "I...I don't know..."
She turned and shouted, "Mam!"
One of the workers jogged up, Screech vaguely remembered the woman being in charge of the water for the workers.
"Yes, Cyw?" She asked.
"Do you know what happened to the engines on the Argol line?"
"The quarry line?" 
"Yes. Miss Screech asked and I couldn't remember."
The woman frowned as she walked alongside Screech, "I don't know." She said hesitantly. "I remember the other railway was asked about sending a train to collect them...but after that, I don't know. We were just trying to find jobs...I'm not even sure when exactly it closed."
"Thanks anyway, Mam."
"Anytime Annylyd." She said.
It was quiet for a moment as Screech focused on lifting a log from the line.
Freda spoke up, "I'm glad to see your relationship with your mother is doing better.
Mali frowned as she pointed out another limb for Screech to bat aside. "It's...alright. It's still really awkward though." She sighed, "Since she started working with the railway she's had more time for me but...we don't actually know each other that well."
"That is likely why she wants more time with you."
Screech mostly tuned out the rest of her crews and Mali's conversation, the nuances of human relationships had escaped her back when she was alive, and they certainly made no more sense now.
Finally, when the sun was at its highest point, Screech broke through the forest into a valley, high in the foothills of the mountains.
The tracks became a tramway, carving through the middle of the street.
On either side dilapidated buildings sagged and leaned under the weight of years. Many had windows smashed in and were exposed to the elements from collapsed walls. In the distance, a small platform and goods yard fared little better.
They had reached Argol.

Dystopian Omegaverse AU: Transportation
Transportation 
Transportation is regulated by the Ministry of Transportation, led by Senator Harvey Harrison. He limited the amount of cars on the road to reduce traffic and put emphasis on public transport for the lower ranks, excluding Omegas. 
Standardized 
Cars are divided into eight categories divided by color. The cars with a black license plate are government officials, from the Council to the Senate. The red ones are Omegas, usually traveling with their pups or minders. The blue ones are the clergy. The white ones are conglomerates, corporate executives, and other high-ranking businessmen. The green ones are military officials, either Alpha, Delta, or Beta Plus. The gray ones are young unmarried Alphas or Alpha pups. The purple ones are doctors, surgeons, and medical specialists. Private taxis can be used by Deltas, Gamma Pluses, Beta Pluses, and Titanium visitors. They have a yellow license plate. 
Public transportation is only available to Beta Neutral, Minuses, and Gamma Minuses. Their trains, buses, trams, trolleys, and ferries are colored based on their rank, such as teal, indigo, and dark purple. There is always a Gamma Minus operating them. Minuses from Betas and Gammas can ride bikes when they need to. They can not have their own private cars or call in taxis. 
Railway service is divided into six. “Whitehaven Train Line” is for Alphas and Omegas. “Marble Coast Line” is for Delta and Gamma Pluses. “Silver Wall Branch Line” is for Delta Minuses and Beta Pluses. “Hope Meadows Line” is for Beta Neutrals. “Flower Gardens Line” is for Beta Minuses and Gamma Minuses. “Golden Palace Branch Line” is for tourists. 
The bus and train stations are decorated with flowers and murals depicting propaganda art. Bus stops are full of PSAs, propaganda, announcements from the Ministry of Transportation, news, maps, commercials, and information regarding festivals or visits.
Sol Fertilis has two airlines. One is called “Aeris Solaris Airways”, mainly used for Alphas, Omegas, their households, Delta Pluses, and Gamma Pluses. The other is called “Nexum Airlines”, mainly used by Delta Minuses, Beta Pluses, Neutrals, Minuses, and Gamma Minuses. Also, Aeris Solaris Airways can be available to Diamond and Titanium visitors as Nexum Airlines are available to Silver and Gold visitors.
Deltas, Beta Pluses, and Neutrals can have their own cars. 
Omegas are not allowed to take public transport, drive cars, walk on their own, or ride bicycles. They can only go in chauffeured cars, luxury sleeper train cars, and first class sections of Tranquility Airways. Whenever they need to walk, they must walk with their Maid and/or Companion or, if they are unmated, with another unmarried Omega. It’s recommended that they do this five times weekly. 
Specialized
These forms of transportation are used for the transport of Droughters, Omegas, tourists, pups, and doctors with nurses.
The Droughter buses are orange prison buses, meant to take them from the Drought Lands to either the Savage Zoos or the Menegerie. 
The van that are used to transport “rescued” untamed Omegas are known as the “Wine Van”. It usually have Tamers with Omegas from the Drought Lands or had disguised as Gamma Minuses. They are usually drugged inside as the van drives to the Pink Center.
Unmated Omegas would travel in red vans, with the Omega symbol on it.
Tourists would travel in yellow tour buses with a Beta Minus tour guide and a Gamma Minus driver. 
Pups from the Centers would travel in coach buses, each divided by color and rank. 
Ambulances would be brightly colored with blue and purple. They are further divided to emergency, non-emergency, buses, psychiatric, and birthing. The birthing ambulances would be in front of households or birthing places in case there is a need of urgent care for either the parent or the newborn.

Ribbed Wire: A New Technology Looking to Replace TMT Bars
Tumblr media
The advancement of technology has delivered many things to us. One such thing is ribbed wires which is a type of high-strength steel. But many people often think the ribbed wire is a complete TMT bar replacement. But this is not true, as you can consider it a partial replacement.
The ribbed wire manufacturers in India produce this product by controlling the cold twisting of hot rolled bars. These wires have projections or ribs on their outer surface.
They also come with various diameters varying from 6 mm to 50 mm. The most outstanding thing about the ribbed wires is that they have the exact strength and durability of TMT bars.
The Usage of Ribbed Wires
You can use the wires created by the top ribbed wire manufacturers in India in cement-based prefabricated structures like mean windows, construction boundaries, and others. Ribbed wires create better bonding with concrete. Some of the uses of ribbed wire include:
Building structures like high-rise houses and buildings, stadiums, hollow floor board, nuclear power plants, and wall boards
Reinforcing structures such as dams or any other rock soil anchoring project
Prefabricated concrete structures such as cement concrete pipes or pressure pipes
Bridge and road structures like subways, railway sleepers, highways, and others
Other uses like cement poles, mines, tubular piles, girders, double T-board, crane beams, panels, free-cutting steel, TV towers, and many more.
Different Types of Ribbed Wire
These are some of the types of ribbed wires;
Helical Ribbed Wire
The main characteristics of helical ribbed wire are the rolling out procedure. It deals with semi-finished products after the last drawing or plastic deformation. Thus, the wire created on the four convex-shaped consecutive ribs is excellent in feature compared to strand or plain steel wire.
Helical Ribbed Strand Wire
The wire includes 3 to 6 convex-shaped consecutive ribs on the surface. The primary advantage of this type of ribbed wire is strengthening the bond between the concrete and the wire. Thus, it improves the product’s performance and also extends its life.
Cold Drawn Ribbed Wire
Companies chiefly use it for concrete reinforcement like bars after the strengthening procedure. It is one of the most efficient construction materials with high strength, holding, capability, and many other qualities.
The primary applications of cold-drawn ribbed wire are precast reinforcement steel, concrete reinforcement wire, and many more.
Features of Ribbed Wire
Ribbed wires include the following features.
High bonding force
Wide range of application
Low relaxation and high tensile strength
Advanced production line, examination equipment, and necessary facility
Things to Remember While Choosing Ribbed Wires
While selecting the ribbed wires, remember a few things to get the best one. To help you with this, here we have penned down the most significant factors to help you to choose the best-ribbed wire.
Rib Pattern
As you might know, each ribbed wire comes with a specific pattern on its outer surface. It is called the ribbed pattern. But these patterns have different variations. That is why it is crucial to think while selecting one.
You need to pick the pattern by considering how you will use the ribbed wire. In this way, you can ensure the wire will offer increased strength and durability.
Pattern Formation Techniques
The ribbed wire manufacturers in India create the pattern and the formation of the ribbed wires in a way that you can use them for various purposes. Besides this, the best manufacturers use advanced CNC machines to ensure uniformity in ribbed wire manufacturing.
Importance of Ribbed Wires
Unlike TMT bars, ribbed wires offer enhanced bonding strength to concrete structures. The structure can withstand an earthquake or flood as it provides an extra layer of structure safety.
Additionally, ribbed wires can distribute the load evenly across the entire structure and build a better grip on concrete. It also decreases the slipping issue during construction. On top of all, due to the excellent welding ability and bonding, the upkeep cost is marginally low.
The benefit of using ribbed wire is that it can strengthen the combination between concrete and wire. Ribbed wires are used in hollow slabs, water pipes, telegraph poles, and many more.
Benefits of Ribbed Wires
By reading the above segments, you can more or less understand the importance of ribbed wires in today’s world. Many people are now using these wires to get multiple benefits. Let us take a look at some of those.
You can bend ribbed wires 360 degrees without cracks or fractures on their outer surface. It is beneficial to execute different and complex projects.
By using ribbed wires, you can get enough strength and durability.
By using these wires, you can also make the weight of the structure much less.
Ribbed wires are much more economical than TMT bars. These wires significantly reduce the expense of reinforcement by up to 30 to 40 percent.
Ribbed wires support welding. You can weld them by using electric flash butt welding or arc welding.
The structural properties of ribbed wires are more enhanced than the ordinary plain round bars.
You can use ribbed wires for every prominent type of reinforced concrete structure.
These wires are rust-proof and highly flexible.
The handling and fixing are also quite simple. As a result, if you use ribbed wires, you can significantly reduce labor costs.
You can also implement ribbed wires in casting the floors of building construction.
Beneficial for seismic-prone regions as ribbed wires offer structural integrity
Provides lower friction
Final Words
To sum up, it is needless to say that ribbed wires are a new invention that works perfectly as a partial replacement for TMT bars. By using these wires, you will get several benefits and also save your money significantly.
But while selecting ribbed wires, you must choose the products manufactured by the best-ribbed wire manufacturer in India, like Group Nirmal. Group Nirmal supplies different varieties of ribbed wires with diameters ranging from 4mm to 11.9 mm.
