Federal and local officials have broken ground on a critical $4 million flood-control project in the southern end of Bristol Harbor. The Tanyard Brook project will\u00a0replace the existing pipe and stone-lined channel from Garfield Street to the outfall at Walker\u2019s Cove with a new concrete box culvert.<\/p>\n

The project is financed through $2.9 million of federal money from the U.S. Economic Development Administration and a $1.1 million\u00a0community development block grant. Northern Construction Service of Weymouth, Mass. will perform the construction work, with BETA Engineering overseeing the project. Construction is estimated to take 15 months.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a smart investment in keeping the entire town safe and encouraging economic growth and development. We saw again in 2010 there was a real need to address this situation,” U.S. Senator Jack Reed commented in a statement. To date, the federal government has committed approximately $200 million\u00a0to help\u00a0Rhode Island’s recovery from\u00a0historic floods in March 2010.<\/p>\n

In other news, Mansfield-based medical technology company Covidien Ltd. announced the opening of the China Technology Center, a $45 million research and development project\u00a0in Shanghai. The 100,000-square-foot facility\u00a0includes 17 laboratories and is expected to employ more than 300 people.<\/p>\n

China Technology Center will focus on the design of tailored devices and on the discovery of breakthrough platforms in medical technology. Coviden\u2019s other operations in China include 10 commercial offices, a manufacturing center and training facilities for healthcare professionals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis fusion of expertise among healthcare professionals, students, scientists and engineers will be further reinforced by the cutting-edge capabilities of our new R&D facility, bridging clinical knowledge, market understanding and technical innovation,\u201d said Dong Wu, Coviden\u2019s vice president for China research and development.<\/p>\n
