Diesel generator sets receive certification
Cat diesel generator sets have met the IBC's seismic provisions.
Cat diesel generator sets, ranging from 11 to 600 kW, have been certified to meet all published editions of the International Building Code’s (IBC) seismic provisions. In addition, enclosed models of these same generator sets have received certification for compliance with 90 mph wind-load provisions. The Cat generator sets rated from 180 to 600 kW received IBC seismic certification at SDS 2.2g, which corresponds with the spectral response acceleration threshold at New Madrid Fault, the highest value in the United States. The C1.5, C2.2, C4.4, and C6.6 gensets, rated 11 to 175 kW, have been certified to SDS 1.93g. These generator sets also received Special Seismic Certification Preapproval from the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD).

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
