CMPANY RELEASES TEAL Exploration & Mining Incorporated
Mineweb – Apr 24, 2007
Mining Consulting Services has completed the mine design planning ore extraction scheduling costing and related studies. Grinaker LTA a subsidiary of Aveng Limited has provided the costing information for a decline on the East Limb ore body and Bluhm Burton Engineering (Pty) Ltd has completed the ventilation design work for the East and South Limb mines. Dowding Reynard & Associates (Pty) Ltd was contracted to undertake the plant design costing and related engineering studies. These studies have been completed. SRK has completed its work on the Environmental Impact Study for the Konkola North Copper Project and Geotail has also completed the design of the tailings and waste rock facility. The necessary permitting and licensing negotiations are in progress and a power agreement is being negotiated with the Copperbelt Energy Corporation.
Pop-Up Cities: China Builds a Bright Green Metropolis
Wired News – Apr 24, 2007
McKinsey wanted to know if the developer the Shanghai Industrial Investment Corporation could bring businesses to the island without messing up thet bird habitat. The consultants thought Gutierrez’s firm could figure it out. Gutierrez an architect and urban designer for engineering and design giant Arup didn’t know anything about birds. But he was a veteran of several big-city design projects in his native Chile and something of a young star at Arup’s London headquarters. The scope of the idea awed him. A whole new city? Were they serious? More important could Arup get in on it? He quickly caught a flight to Shanghai. Today Gutierrez and a team of Arup specialists from Europe North America and Asia are finalizing a plan for a scratch- built metropolis called Dongtan… Dongtan could take a useless byproduct and use it to light the city. Instead of building the plant far away and out of sight Arup would put it up near the city center capture waste heat and pipe it throughout the town. With good insulation and smart design the plant could heat and cool every building in Dongtan. “We can get something like 80 percent efficiency in our fuel conversion” says Chris Twinn the Dongtan team’s energy chief. “The Prius is probably only 20 percent efficient. The rest is wasted. Why are we satisfied with that?”Between biomass a big wind farm and numerous tiny contributions to the grid — including photovoltaic panels and small wind turbines — Arup figured Dongtan could get 60 percent of its energy from renewable sources when the city opened in 2010 and 100 percent within 20 years.
Engineer says environment wins with new power plant
Anderson Independent Mail – Apr 24, 2007
9 million loan was obtained Monday to expand the concept into a 20-megawatt power plant that generates electricity from chicken litter and wood products. Ash from the process would be used as fertilizer.
Sewer and water improvements could tax city resources
Gloucester Daily Times – Apr 24, 2007
The administrative order was signed while federal and state environmental agencies are reviewing the city’s application for a continuing exemption from secondary treatment which would require an enormous capital outlay perhaps $20 million to expand the facility across Essex Avenue from the river. The improvements “are necessary to enhance plant performance” Knowlton wrote to Magoon. They would be needed he said “even if the plant gets upgraded to secondary treatment. “The engineering consulting firm Brown and Caldwell which advises the city on its sewer system was in the midst of a review of needs at the sewer treatment plant at the time the state intervened to require the improvements. The Brown and Caldwell study was commissioned in the aftermath of a previous state order in March 2006 for upgrades in staffing and operation that followed a more serious malfunction. In May 2005 the electrical system collapsed and with the plant unable to pump treated sewage through the 9000-foot ocean outfall emergency pumps were used to divert about 600000 gallons into the Annisquam. Fearing contamination the state ordered the clam flats closed but the emergency communications system failed so clammers went to work only to have their harvest confiscated.
Toyota breaks ground at plant site
Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal – Apr 24, 2007
)By BRENDA WENPontotoc ProgressDespite persistent predictions and cloudy skies it did not rain on the parade of more than 500 people who gathered to celebrate the groundbreaking ceremonies for Toyota Mississippi last Wednesday. Under a massive white tent a parade of state local and Toyota officials addressed the crowd between performances of diverse area talent that included a gospel quartet and a youth drumming team. With a gigantic mound of red dirt bright yellow machinery and a giant monitor as a backdrop Toyota Motor Engineering and Manufacturing North America vice president Jim Wiseman welcomed the enthusiastic crowd by pointing out an advertisement the company had run in major newspapers across the country. A sign in the ad which read “Blue Springs population 165″ had been altered to read “Blue Springs population 2165″ a reference to the expected number of people the Toyota plant will employ. Toyota will build the Highlander sport utility vehicle the company's most popular SUV at the new plant. Production is scheduled to begin by 2010. Katsuaki Watanabe president of Toyota Motor Corp… Fast forwardThat kind of progressive thinking is what attracted Toyota to the area in the first place the company execs reiterated. Waving his hand over the rolling red hills barren of trees Ray Tanguay executive vice president of Toyota Motor Engineering and Manufactur-ing North America said “You went to work right away getting this land cleared proving me right in my choice to come here. “The foundation will be poured on the plant by the end of summer he said. “Next will come the steel and then you'll see real progress. “If the work so far is any indication that progress could be even faster than originally anticipated. After Toyota announced Feb. 27 that it had selected the 1700-acre Wellspring megasite to build its next manufacturing plant local officials had until May 1 to clear the core 450 acres of the site.
