China State contracted with consultant Tianjin Tianhe-Cloud Building Engineering Technology Co.  to provide modeling and analysis on the job. By combining seabed elevation models and borehole measurement data with the pile and foundation BIM model, Tianjin Tianhe optimized the insertion sequence for the multiple steel pipes needed for each foundation to prevent each subsequently installed pile from damaging or distorting the previous piles, says Jin Yangshuo, BIM senior engineer.

This interesting finding is taken from a recent market research study by Future Market Insights on the global stainless steel welded pipes market.

11. Pension Plan and Other Postretirement Benefits Pension Plan The Company’s noncontributory funded pension plan covers substantially all corporate employees and OTP nonunion employees hired prior to September 1, 2006, and all union employees of OTP hired prior to November 1, 2013, excluding Coyote Station employees. Coyote Station employees hired before January 1, 2009 are covered under the plan. The plan provides 100% vesting after five vesting years of service and for retirement compensation at age 65, with reduced compensation in cases of retirement prior to age 62. The Company reserves the right to discontinue the plan, but no change or discontinuance may affect the pensions theretofore vested. The pension plan has a trustee who is responsible for pension payments to retirees and a separate pension fund manager responsible for managing the plan’s assets. An independent actuary assists the Company in performing the necessary actuarial valuations for the plan. The plan assets consist of common stock and bonds of public companies, U.S. government securities, cash and cash equivalents and alternative investments. None of the plan assets are invested in common stock or debt securities of the Company. 103 Table of Contents The following table lists components of net periodic pension benefit cost for the year ended December 31: Weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic pension cost for the year ended December 31: The following table presents amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31: Funded status as of December 31: 104 Table of Contents The following tables provide a reconciliation of the changes in the fair value of plan assets and the plan’s benefit obligations over the two-year period ended December 31, 2018: Weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31: The assumed rate of return on pension fund assets used for the determination of 2019 net periodic pension cost is 7.25%. The assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets is based primarily on asset category studies using historical market return and volatility data with forward looking estimates based on existing financial market conditions and forecasts of capital markets. Modest excess return expectations versus some market indices are incorporated into the return projections based on the actively managed structure of the investment programs and their records of achieving such returns historically. The Company reviews its rate of return on plan asset assumptions annually. The assumptions are largely based on the asset category rate-of-return assumptions developed annually with the Company’s pension plan investment advisors, as well as input from actuaries who work with the pension plan and benchmarking to peer companies with similar asset allocation strategies. Market-related value of plan assets—The Company’s expected return on plan assets is determined based on the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the market-related value of plan assets. The Company bases actuarial determination of pension plan expense or income on a market-related valuation of assets, which reduces year-to-year volatility. This market-related valuation calculation recognizes investment gains or losses over a five-year period from the year in which they occur. Investment gains or losses for this purpose are the difference between the expected return calculated using the market-related value of assets and the actual return based on the fair value of assets. Since the market-related valuation calculation recognizes gains or losses over a five-year period, the future value of the market-related assets will be impacted as previously deferred gains or losses are recognized. 105 Table of Contents The estimated amounts of unrecognized net actuarial losses and prior service costs to be amortized from regulatory assets and accumulated other comprehensive loss into the net periodic pension cost in 2019 are: Cash flows—The Company had no minimum funding requirement as of December 31, 2018 but made discretionary plan contributions of $10 million as of February 2019. The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid out from plan assets: The following objectives guide the investment strategy of the Company’s pension plan (the Plan): The asset allocation strategy developed by the Company’s Retirement Plans Administration Committee (the Committee) is based on the current needs of the Plan and the objectives listed above. An asset/liability review is conducted annually or as often as necessary to assess the impact of various asset allocations on funded status and other financial variables. The current needs of the Plan, the overall investment objectives above, the investment preferences and risk tolerance of the Committee and the desired degree of diversification suggest the need for an investment allocation including multiple asset classes. The asset allocation in the table below contains guideline percentages, at market value, of the total Plan invested in various asset classes. The Permitted Range is a guide and will at times not reflect the actual asset allocation as this will be dictated by market conditions, the independent actions of the Committee and/or Investment Managers and required cash flows to and from the Plan. The Permitted Range anticipates this fluctuation and provides flexibility for the Investment Managers’ portfolios to vary around the target without the need for immediate rebalancing. The Investment Manager will proactively monitor the asset allocation and will direct the purchases and sales to remain within the stated ranges. The policy of the Plan is to invest assets in accordance with the allocations shown below: 106 Table of Contents The Company’s pension plan asset allocations at December 31, 2018 and 2017, by asset category are as follows: The following table presents the Company’s pension fund assets measured at fair value and included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and assets measured using the NAV practical expedient to fair valuation as of December 31: Fair Value Measurements of Pension Fund Assets ASC 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits, requires disclosures about pension plan assets identified by the three levels of the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820-10-35.

Redemptions are allowed semi-annually with a 95-day notice period, subject to fund director consent and certain gate, holdback and suspension restrictions. Subscriptions are allowed monthly with a three-year lock up on subscriptions. The Company invested $10.0 million in the SEI Energy Debt Fund in July 2015. The fund’s assets are valued in accordance with valuations reported by the fund’s sub-advisor or the fund’s underlying investments or other independent third-party sources, although SEI in its discretion may use other valuation methods, subject to compliance with ERISA (as applicable). The fund’s assets are valued as of the close of business on the last business day of each calendar month and are available 30 days after the end of a calendar quarter. On an annual basis, as determined by the investment manager in its sole discretion, an independent valuation agent is retained to provide a valuation of the illiquid assets of the fund and of any other asset of the fund, as determined by the investment manager in its sole discretion. The Company reviews and verifies the reasonableness of the year-end valuations. Executive Survivor and Supplemental Retirement Plan (ESSRP) The ESSRP is an unfunded, nonqualified benefit plan for executive officers and certain key management employees. The ESSRP provides defined benefit payments to these employees on their retirements for life or to their beneficiaries on their deaths for a 15-year postretirement period.

Forget the news and rhetoric referring to a base 3-4 or 4-3. Gregg Williams is a true 4-3 mind who will also use 3-4 principles. I expect the paper designation to remain as a 4-3, despite the recent rumors. But it matters not.

On January 11, 2019, the Court granted the United States’ motion for judgment by default for a penalty in the amount of $51,102 plus post-judgment interest as provided by law plus costs.   In the underlying proceeding, Selecta Corporation had failed to respond in any way since the issuance of the penalty claim and throughout the duration of the litigation before the Court. Accordingly, the Court found that it had no basis to conclude that the penalty proposed by the United States would be inequitable. Based on the government’s loss of the use of the funds, the Court concluded that the imposition of the penalty sought by the U.S. was the appropriate disposition of this action and ruled in favor of the Government.
