    CASE HISTORY UK / CH /RF/ Rev: 00, Dec 2018 HEADS OF THE VALLEYS, A465 ABERGAVENNY, SOUTH WALES ROCKFALL DRAPERY SYSTEM Product: Steelgrid HR DT mesh system Problem The A465 road is a major infrastructure project connecting west Wales with the upper ends of the Welsh valleys and then to the English midlands. It is one of the key corridors and international gateways for the south Wales economy. It connects the M4 at Neath to Abergavenny and Hereford. The existing A465 was built in the 1960s and is a single three- lane carriageway with two lanes in the uphill direction and one in the downhill direction. A regional traffic study in 1990 identified the need to improve this road. The width of the road restricts traffic flow and opportunities for safe overtaking. In many areas there is poor visibility. Accidents on this stretch are concentrated around junctions Steel grid HR system secured to the rock face with plates and areas with poor visibility. The Welsh government has a long programme of work to address shortcomings and make the road suitable to help sustain industry and tourism in south and west Wales. These improvements to the A465 are critical to the social and economic regeneration of the Heads of the Valleys area. This project will improve access to key services, jobs and markets supporting inward investment to areas such as the Ebbw Vale enterprise zone. Solution Slope stabilisation was an important element of the scheme, and both CAN Geotechnical and BAM Ritchies have been working closely with the Costain team on a number of key slopes.

Although part of the park has been built on by a wartime aluminium plant the majority of the setting, which was kept deliberately simple, survives, as do some of Nash’s picturesque estate buildings. The gardens have been enhanced by later nineteenth-century tree and shrub planting. Type of site Small picturesque park; informal grounds; walled kitchen garden Main phases of construction c. 1812-13; 1828-29 Site description Rheola is a substantial, two-storey house in a simple Regency style, situated on the north side of the Vale of Neath, 2 km to the north-east of Resolven. The house lies on levelled ground at the southern end of the narrow tributary valley of the Rheola Brook and is orientated north-west/south-east, its main entrance being on the south-west side. The Rheola Brook runs along its north-east side. The white-painted stone house has sash windows, pitched slate roofs, brick chimneys and verandahs along the south- west and south-east sides. The latter, on the garden front, has iron piers, the former, on the entrance front, has rusticated stone piers. The verandah projects forwards slightly in front of the central front door.

EU funding has always been important to helping regenerate local areas, in the current climate it will be vital to maintaining the approach to revitalising local communities. This strategy is needed because local stakeholders have identified that a significant opportunity exists in Neath to better integrate the range of proposed actions tackling economic, social and environmental regeneration from the public, private, community and third sectors. The mix of communities in the Neath area, the diverse range of businesses in and around the town centre and the unique natural environment makes Neath ideally suited to be a model for the sustainable Welsh market town of the 21st century.

  • Life Saving Scheme Launched Across Wales
    Welsh Assembly Government | Life saving scheme launched across ... Page 1 of 2 Life saving scheme launched across Wales A new scheme that will help save the lives of people who have suffered a heart attack will be launched today (December 19, 2006) in the Senedd at 3pm by the Welsh Ambulance Service and Welsh Assembly Government. The public access defibrillation scheme will mean defibrillators, which are vital life-saving machines for people who have suffered a heart attack, will be made available in a number of busy public places such as railway stations and shopping centres. More than 20 sites across Wales are taking part in the scheme thanks to £80,000 funding for equipment from the Welsh Assembly Government. Additional recurrent funding of £61,000 a year is also available to fund training delivered by the Welsh Ambulance Service to staff and volunteers on the provision of basic life support and use the defibrillators. Gary Humphries is just one of many people whose life was saved by such a scheme when he collapsed with a heart attack in Hawthorn Leisure Centre, Treforest. He said, “If it wasn’t for the quick response of trained staff and the fact that a defibrillator was available at the leisure centre, I wouldn’t be here today.” The scheme, which is supported by the British Heart Foundation, increases the survival rates of people who have suffered a heart attack and encourages people to develop life saving skill which can be used before an ambulance arrives. Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust Medical Director Dr Mick Colquhoun said, “Every second counts when you are trying to save someone’s life and the sooner defibrillation is performed the greater the chance of survival.
