Kings Center wall fixed so kids can play!

Thursday, December 9th, 2010

The Kings Center, located in Frankfort, Kentucky, provides children and teenagers with academic, cultural, and social opportunities they might not otherwise be given. A wall in the Kings Center backyard was crumbling and posed a safety hazard to the children until Go Frankfort, Inc., a local volunteer group, found local professionals to volunteer to fix the problem . Qk4 structural engineer Roger Wade drew up the plans for the building permit. Local companies that volunteered their services and materials include a construction company (Built by Lee) and a concrete company (Harrod Concrete). With the new wall in place, The Kings Center backyard is no longer a safety hazard, and will once again give the center options for outdoor recreational activity.
Go Frankfort, Inc., started as a group of friends with a desire to make a difference in Franklin County, Kentucky. Qk4 is a proud sponsor and supporter of Go Frankfort, Inc.

Qk4 Teams with Miovision for Automated Traffic Data Collection

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

To provide our clients with the most reliable traffic data in the most cost-effective manner, Qk4 has teamed with Miovision for our traffic data collection services. Qk4 recently purchased traffic data collecting cameras from Miovision, who convert the video files into turning movement data, by classification (including pedestrians and bicycles), in a standard traffic data format (i.e., Jamar). Using this system we also have the ability to perform gap studies as well as collect data for roundabouts, trip generation, and ATR studies. The unprecedented accuracy, speed, low cost, and flexibility of the system provides important benefits for our clients—including a video of the traffic in a user-friendly format. This leading-edge technology maintains Qk4 as a leader in traffic data collection and engineering.  For more information on Qk4/Miovision contact Mr. Tom Springer, AICP, CEP at (800)928-2222.  Click here to view/print our brochure.
