Landfill sites are being viewed as mines with buried riches. Extending the Bluebell Railway. Click here for the Full details of all the work undertaken on the East Grinstead Extension. The Bluebell Railway re-opened in 1960, preserving a five-mile stretch of the former Lewes to East Grinstead line between Sheffield Park and Horsted Keynes. Until 1963, electric trains from Haywards Heath still linked with the Bluebell at Horsted Keynes on the branch line via Ardingly. The map shows the stations and railway lines in the area. In the first decade of the Bluebell's existence, operating the railway and the purchase of the freehold of the existing line were the priorities.
Right: The Construction of New Coombe Bridge. The first mile north from Horsted Keynes opened in 1990, followed two years later by the stretch through Sharpthorne Tunnel to the former West Hoathly Station site. There then followed a period of consolidation before the final push to East Grinstead. The main obstacle was Imberhorne tip. Imberhorne Viaduct. The 2008 share offer raised £670,000. Westwards?

‘Buy Land’ said Mark Twain ‘they aren’t making it any more.’ And in a way he was right – until now. Because of man’s actions, some land has been rendered valueless, or even a liability, and to all intents and purposes has ceased to exist as a useful amenity. These sites are the landfills, dumps where for centuries society has chosen to bury its waste. They are often situated on the outskirts of major towns and cities, and cover an estimated 109 square miles of the UK today.
These landfills (except for the most modern) emit methane (a powerful global warming agent) and often also a toxic liquor called leachate which must be constantly monitored lest it contaminate the ground water. Any company which was able to rehabilitate these sites economically would not only be performing a valuable social service – they would effectively be creating land.
Florida landfill turns to innovative mining project to increase capacity without expanding footprint - Waste Age article | Landfill Mining content from Waste360. RESOURCEFUL: Escambia County, Fla., is excavating closed, unlined cells at its Perdido Landfill to create room for new lined cells. The waste from the unlined sections is processed with a trommel screen that separates soil and composted organics from undegraded materials. Facing a need to increase capacity at its Perdido Municipal Solid Waste Landfill without expanding the site's footprint, Escambia County, Fla., has launched an innovative on-site mining project. As a result of the project, the Perdido Landfill will be able to operate for an additional 26 years without having to expand significantly beyond its current boundaries. When the landfill opened in 1980, it was an unlined MSW landfill. Thirty years later, the site includes both unlined landfill areas and active lined Class I landfill areas, along with other facility operations such as yard waste processing areas, recyclables management areas and employee offices.

If you manage projects it’s important to show how many tasks there are and when they’re due to happen. This helps to explain key events in your project’s life to team members and other stakeholders. In my experience I’ve seen project managers show project tasks using Gantt charts, but here I offer a compelling alternative – the simple project timeline tool – which you can create in Excel.
A project timeline shows how events relate to each other in time. Although timelines don’t look as sophisticated as Gantt charts, they do a really good job at communicating the big picture. A well crafted project timeline can convey useful information relating to task progress and overall project progress. In this article I’ll show you how to make a timeline in Excel. This is the second part in a series on Project Management using Microsoft Excel. We will get to the detailed how-to soon but first you should watch this 6 minute video.

Environmental changes highlight for imperative for innovation and learning at the School. Structure Mintzberg categorised organisational structures by identifying their key parts, their coordinating mechanisms and the dominant pull therein (Mintzberg (1990)). The key part of the School is the middle line i.e the sub unit commanders and the key staff (particularly HR, ops and Standards personnel) as evidenced by the fact that they are given distinct and very specific missions in the annual Op Plan(Infantry School (2009)). A hierarchical wire-diagram illustrates the vertical alignment of authority and the centralisation of power. Fig 2.

Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen (or any halogen). It involves the simultaneous change of chemical composition and physical phase, and is irreversible. The word is coined from the Greek-derived elements pyro "fire" and lysis "separating". Pyrolysis is a type of thermolysis, and is most commonly observed in organic materials exposed to high temperatures. It is one of the processes involved in charring wood, starting at 200–300 °C (390–570 °F).[1] It also occurs in fires where solid fuels are burning or when vegetation comes into contact with lava in volcanic eruptions. In general, pyrolysis of organic substances produces gas and liquid products and leaves a solid residue richer in carbon content, char.
Extreme pyrolysis, which leaves mostly carbon as the residue, is called carbonization. Occurrence and uses[edit] Fire[edit] Cooking[edit] Charcoal[edit] Biochar[edit] Urban Mines: ThinkSpot: Professor Chris Coggins. This month Professor Chris Coggins, the prominent and respected independent waste management consultant, proposes an Energy from Waste Hierarchy to complement the universally recognised waste hierarchy. "Everyone in waste management is aware of the so-called waste hierarchy: prevention, reduction, reuse, recycling/composting and energy recovery......
" Given the need to manage wastes as resources in a sustainable manner, and the increasing need to ensure secure and divers supplies of energy, there is now a need to consider a parallel energy from waste hierarchy, recognising the contribution that waste might make to electricity, cooling, heating and fuels. First and foremost is energy efficiency.
This can be achieved through product design (e.g. energy efficient consumer durables), energy efficiency in action (e.g. smart meters), product labeling (e.g. carbon labels) and behaviour change (e.g. switching off stand-by buttons on TVs and computers). The Author's Biography. Red Book | Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. Soil - Environment. Additional tools Soil is defined as the top layer of the earth’s crust. It is formed by mineral particles, organic matter, water, air and living organisms. It is in fact an extremely complex, variable and living medium. The interface between the earth, the air and the water, soil is a non-renewable resource which performs many vital functions: food and other biomass production, storage, filtration and transformation of many substances including water, carbon, nitrogen.
Soil has a role as a habitat and gene pool, serves as a platform for human activities, landscape and heritage and acts as a provider of raw materials. Erosion, loss of organic matter, compaction, salinisation, landslides, contamination, sealing… Soil degradation is accelerating, with negative effects on human health, natural ecosystems and climate change, as well as on our economy.

Retrieving material for composting from open dumps across the developing world could reduce the environmental impact of growing mountains of waste, according to researchers in India, writing today in the Inderscience publication, International Journal of Environmental Technology and Management. These days we in the developing world are encouraged to compost our garden and kitchen waste.
However, not everyone has a compost bin and not all of us are willing or able to separate waste into compostable and non-compostable materials. In the developing world, the problems are very different. Open dumps are prevalent and have a poor environmental record, according to environmental engineer Kurian Joseph and colleagues at Anna University, in Chennai, India. Joseph and his team have considered the possibility of landfill mining as a viable means of rehabilitating open dumps. "Landfill mining can recover recyclable materials, landfill space, and compost," explains Joseph. PlasticsEurope - Market and Economics - PlasticsEurope.

Are you ready to do some gold digging? Don’t treat waste only as waste. It is time we exploit the vast pool of resources readily available to us, and landfill mining seems to be an obvious solution… For decades, even centuries, humans have treated waste as exactly that: a waste. Nature works in closed loops, where every waste is a resource, yet we have failed to grasp the essence of this simple mechanism, and despite technology being as advanced as it is in the 21st century, landfills still exist.
Humans have engineered a way to make space tourism a reality, we have the ability to manipulate our own DNA; we have captured antimatter and created the internet. Yet we continue to dispose of our waste in an archaic, almost uncivilised fashion, using holes in the ground. With exploding populations and increasing urbanisation, cities are running out of landfill space: research suggests that Britain will run out of landfill space within 9 years.
