  • Liverpool Street Bus Station Closure
    Liverpool Street bus station closed - changes to routes 11, 23, 133, N11 and N133 The construction of the new Crossrail ticket hall in Liverpool Street is progressing well. In order to build a link between the new ticket hall and the Underground station, it will be necessary to extend the Crossrail hoardings across Old Broad Street. This will require the temporary closure of the bus station from Sunday 22 November until Spring 2016. Routes 11, 23 and N11 Buses will start from London Wall (stop ○U) outside All Hallows Church. Please walk down Old Broad Street and turn right at the traffic lights. The last stop for buses towards Liverpool Street will be in Eldon Street (stop ○V). From there it is 50 metres to the steps that lead down into the main National Rail concourse where you can also find the entrance to the Underground station. Buses in this direction will also be diverted via Princes Street and Moorgate, and will not serve Threadneedle Street or Old Broad Street. Routes 133 and N133 The nearest stop will be in Wormwood Street (stop ○Q). Please walk down Old Broad Street and turn left along Wormwood Street after using the crossing to get to the opposite side of the road. The last stop towards Liverpool Street will also be in Wormwood Street (stop ○P). Changes to routes 11, 23, 133, N11 & N133 Routes 11, 23, 133, N11 & N133 towards Liverpool Street Routes 11 & N11 towards Bank, Aldwych, Victoria and Fulham Route 23 towards Bank, Aldwych, Oxford Circus and Westbourne Park T E Routes 133 & N133 towards London Bridge, Elephant & Castle,

  • Decentralized Energy Master Planning
    Decentralized Energy Master Planning The London Borough of Brent An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted by Anthony Aldi Karen Anundson Andrew Bigelow Andrew Capulli Sponsoring Agency London Borough of Brent Planning Service Advisors Dominic Golding Ruth Smith Liaison Joyce Ip 29 April 2010 This report represents the work of four WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. Abstract The London Borough of Brent aims to reduce its carbon emissions via implementation of decentralized energy schemes including combined heat and power systems. The objective of this project was to aid Brent in the early stages of its decentralized energy master planning. By examining policies of other boroughs and studying major development areas within Brent, the WPI project team has concluded that the council must actively facilitate the development of decentralized energy systems through the use of existing practices and development of well supported policies. i Authorship Page This report was developed through a collaborative effort by the project team: Anthony Aldi, Karen Anundson, Andrew Bigelow, and Andrew Capulli. All sections were developed as team with each member contributing equally. ii Acknowledgements The team would like to thank our advisors from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Professor Dominic Golding and Professor Ruth Smith. The team would also like to thank the liaison Joyce Ip from the London Borough of Brent Planning Service and the entire Planning Service.

  • Irongate House, Houndsditch EC3 Ruth Siddall Irongate
    Urban Geology in London No. 24 Meteorite Impactites in London: Irongate House, Houndsditch EC3 Ruth Siddall Irongate House (below) was designed by architects Fitzroy, Robinson & Partners and completed in 1978. It is a building that is quite easy to ignore. Situated at the Aldgate end of Houndsditch in the City of London, this is a now rather dated, 1970s office block surrounded, and arguably encroached upon by the sparkling glass slabs and cylinders of new modern blocks nicknamed the ‘Gherkin’ and the ‘Cheesegrater’. Walking past, at pavement level, it could indeed be dismissed as the entrance to an underground car park. But look up! Irongate House is a geological gem with a unique and spectacular decorative stone used for cladding the façade. Eric Robinson corresponded with the architects during the building of Irongate House, whilst he was compiling his urban geological walk from the Royal Exchange to Aldgate (Robinson, 1982) and the second volume of the London: Illustrated Geological Walks (Robinson, 1985). Eric discovered that Fitzroy, Robinson & Partners’ stone contractors had chosen a most exotic, unusual and unexpected rock, newly available on the market. This is an orthogneiss from South Africa called the Parys Gneiss. What makes this rock more interesting is that the town of Parys, where the quarries are located, is positioned close to the centre of a major meteorite impact crater, the Vredefort Dome, and the effects of this event, melts associated with the impact called pseudotachylites, cross-cut the gneiss and can be observed here in the City of London. Both to mine and Eric’s knowledge, Parys Gneiss is used here uniquely in the UK, and as such it also made it into Ashurst & Dimes (1998)’s review of building stones.

  • A Comparative Assessment of Waste Incinerators in the UK
    A comparative assessment of waste incinerators in the UK J.D. Nixona*, D.G. Wrightb, P.K. Deyb, S.K. Ghoshc and P.A. Daviesa a Sustainable Environment Research Group, School of Engineering and Applied Science Aston University, Aston Triangle, Birmingham, B4 7ET, UK b Aston Business School, Aston University, Aston Triangle, Birmingham, B4 7ET, UK c Mechanical Engineering Department, Centre for Quality Management System, Jadavpur University, Kolkata 700032, India *corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected], Tel +44 121 204 3663 Abstract The uptake in Europe of Energy from Waste (EfW) incinerator plants has increased rapidly in recent years. In the UK, 25 municipal waste incinerators with energy recovery are now in operation; however, their waste supply chains and business practices vary significantly. With over a hundred more plant developments being considered it is important to establish best business practices for ensuring efficient environmental and operational performance. By reviewing the 25 plants we identify four suitable case study plants to compare technologies (moving grate, fluidised bed and rotary kiln), plant economics and operations. Using data collected from annual reports and through interviews and site visits we provide recommendations for improving the supply chain for waste incinerators and highlight the current issues and challenges faced by the industry. We find that plants using moving grate have a high availability of 87 – 92%. However, compared to the fluidised bed and rotary kiln, quantities of bottom ash and emissions of hydrogen chloride and carbon monoxide are high. The uptake of integrated recycling practices, combined heat and power, and post incineration non-ferrous metal collections needs to be increased among EfW incinerators in the UK.

  • The Birth of the Tubes
    THE BIRTH OF THE TUBES by Antony Badsey-Ellis A report of the LURS meeting at All Souls Clubhouse on Tuesday 10 December 2019 Antony’s latest book, co-written and edited by Jim Whiting, is also called “The Birth of the Tubes” and was published by Capital Transport in September 2019. He explained that tonight’s talk would feature many pictures which are not in the first edition of the book. This book is a non-technical history of the social side of the building of the Underground and how people were involved and how the railways were received at the time. In the 1860s the Metropolitan and District Railways had used conventional steam locomotives going through cut and cover tunnels. The tube railways were a completely new system with electric locos running through deep level tunnels. The first tube tunnel was not (as many people think) the City and South London Railway (C&SLR) but the Tower Subway from near the Tower of London to Tooley Street. This tunnel was about 7 feet in diameter and dug fully by hand, lit only by candles, and with very little Health & Safety as we would know it today. Each ring of the tunnel lining was in four parts (three large and a small key segment) weighing four hundredweight (203 kg) each which were man-handled into place and secured with bolts. The shield was then moved forward, about 18 inches at a time, by hand-cranked screw jacks. Spoil was removed via small trucks on a temporary railway and then lifted up the 60-foot-deep access shaft in small buckets using a steam crane.
