Geopanel for the efficient building of any wall: Baardskeerdersbos - Case Study
Geopanel is the reusable formwork system in ABS technopolymer for walls by Geoplast. Thanks to its versatility, it can be used not only with concrete but also with a large variety of eco-friendly materials, such as rammed earth (with 6% lime) or hemp, thus allowing substantial timber and time savings. Geopanel is also very fast to install and allows to easily create structures of any size and ...

Flexible engineering designs for urban water management in Lusaka, Zambia
Urban water systems are often designed using deterministic single values as design parameters. Subsequently the different design alternatives are compared using a discounted cash flow analysis that assumes that all parameters remain as-predicted for the entire project period. In reality the future is unknown and at best a possible range of values for design parameters can be estimated. A ...

A simple method to check for natural attenuation downstream of abandoned waste disposal sites
Evaluations of waste sites are based on the assessment of whether conditions for Natural Attenuation (NA) processes are favourable. A method is proposed as a first check for effects of NA in the groundwater emissions. For the application of the method, concentrations of the concerned substance and of a tracer must be available at observation wells at different distances from the source, ...

Improving the Cost-Effectiveness of Hazardous Waste Site Characterization and Monitoring
Executive Summary U.S. EPA’s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response is promoting more effective strategies for characterizing and monitoring hazardous waste sites. In particular, the wide-spread adoption of a new paradigm which uses an integrated triad of systematic planning, dynamic work plans, and on-site analysis for data collection and technical decision-making at hazardous waste sites ...

Eco waste solutions De beers Canada snap lake diamond mine
The challenge Given De Beers' commitment to environmental management of the Snap Lake Diamond mine, the selection of an on-site waste processing technology was critical. During the construction of the mine, over 400 people lived and worked on the site. Once in operation the Camp population was reduced to approximately 260. According to best practices for remote northern locations, all food ...

Plasterboard waste recovery from smaller building sites
Most methods for recovering waste plasterboard from construction sites rely on it being segregated on site into adedicated collection container, such as a skip, bin or bags. This can be difficult for smaller building sites where spacefor these containers may be limited, and the quantities of plasterboard waste are small thus reducing the costeffectiveness of recovery. However, many small and ...

An expert system on site selection of sanitary landfill
It is desirable to encapsulate heuristic and empirical knowledge including hydrological and bio-geochemical considerations into the selection process of a potential landfill site. This paper delineates a prototype expert system, which has been developed using a commercially available microcomputer-based expert system shell VISUAL RULE STUDIO, for the selection of a landfill site. VISUAL RULE ...

Emission of volatile organic compounds from solid waste disposal sites
The emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from a solid waste disposal site for municipal solid wastes was quantified. The VOCs contained in the landfill gas taken at the site were benzene, toluene, xylenes, ethyl benzenes, and trimethyl benzenes, while the concentrations of chlorinated compounds were very low. The concentration of benzene in the landfill gas samples ranged from below the ...

Mining Companies Dig Deeper into Waste Challenges
Mining Waste Challenges – Africa Mineral extraction adopts the very latest technology and operational methods and the waste aspect is a high agenda item that Inciner8 solves within mining compounds. Uncluttered, efficient operations with active heavy plant and machinery demand that waste solutions are present to clear, clean and deliver a consistent solution in many 24 x 7 x 365 mining ...

A procedure for detecting childhood cancer clusters near hazardous waste sites in Florida
Despite over 20 years of research on childhood cancer clusters and hazardous waste sites, little evidence has been produced to indicate a causal relationship. Nevertheless, the perception of a childhood cancer cluster being located near a hazardous waste site can raise fear and uncertainty, and it demands attention from health officials. To investigate this public health concern, the author used ...

Eco waste solutions voisey’s bay nickel mine
The challenge Vale Inco’s wholly-owned subsidiary Voisey's Bay Nickel Company (VBNC) is mining the largest nickel deposit in the world in Newfoundland Canada. During the Construction and Operation Phases of the camp, waste from 250 to 700 people needed to be processed. This waste was largely generated by the kitchen and dining areas. Packaging waste (wood, cardboard and plastic) was also ...

Site selection of sanitary landfills on the small island of Mauritius using the analytical hierarchy process multi-criteria method
This paper focuses on the application of a multi-criteria analysis methodology — the analytical hierarchy process — for the locating of a sanitary landfill on the small island of Mauritius. Four candidate sites were assessed using three main criteria (environmental, technical and socio-economic) and twenty-one sub-criteria. Scores were assigned to each criterion and sub-criterion by stakeholders ...

No More Hiding Rocks: Company Turns Bed Rock Waste into On-Site Fill with Mobile Crusher
Brauer Construction had piles of bed rock laying around its facility. In most cases, Brauer Construction would take the bed rock and fit it into a hole that was large enough to accommodate the size. Sometimes, there are no holes to be filled. And the company would place them in a quarry. That was when Jason Brauer, owner of Brauer Construction, searched the internet for a machine that would help ...

On-site NORM waste treatment for safe final disposal
NORM waste Naturally-occurring Radioactive Materials or NORM occur naturally as the name suggests. However, certain work activities can give rise to significantly enhanced exposures that need to be controlled. For typical NORM material, exceeding the acceptable yearly radiation dose is what is concerning, rather than any immediate health effects. ...

Waste management in a tropical forest - Case Study
Waste Challenge: A mine under construction in a lush tropical forest has operations that are spread over a large distance from the port to the mine. Incoming supplies, and thousands of construction workers living and working on-site, generate significant amounts of waste. Location: Central American Country ECO Solution: Two Eco Waste Oxidizers were supplied to manage the waste. The systems are ...

Biodegradation of Cypermethrin by pseudomonas in a batch activated sludge process
The biodegradation of Cypermethrin (20 to 125 mg/L) in an effluent using batch activated sludge was studied. Degradation was found to occur to a great extent only in the presence of Pseudomonas (IES-Ps-1) culture. Under aerobic conditions using mechanical aerators, Cypermethrin (20 mg/L) was almost completely degraded in just over 48 h at ambient temperature. Further loading of organic compound ...
