  • Staying Above Board Sustainability Policy 2014
    Staying above board Sustainability Policy 2014 Chris Hines MBE Head of Sustainability Nick Hounsfield Co-founder The Wave Sustainability Sustainability is in the DNA of The Wave. The business is based on the ‘triple bottom line’ of sustainability - a concept coined by John Elkington. Sustainability can be measured according to environmental, financial and social factors. The success of a business is normally measured on the financial profit & loss or the ‘bottom line’. The triple bottom line adds social and environmental profit & loss to the mix to assess the overall sustainability of a business. Sustainability requires that the system aims to not make a loss in any of the three elements. In reality this means that the system must aim to make a profit in order that inevitable occasional losses balance out and do not result in the degradation and collapse of the system. The Bruntland definition: “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Social Responsibility (SR) SR makes sure we do things right whilst having a positive effect on everyone and everything around us. The Wave is committed to SR. Everything we do is measured, thought about and adapted if needed. This makes us work better and react to any issues. We are always improving as a company, always looking to help local communities and always caring for the local environment. The Wave Approach Our sustainability policy is both overarching for us as an organisation as well as site specific for the facilities we build.

  • Greater Manchester Transport Strategy 2040 Executive Summary
    GREATER MANCHESTER TRANSPORT STRATEGY 2040 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A sustainable urban mobility plan for the future February 2017 2 GREATER MANCHESTER TRANSPORT STRATEGY 2040 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Contents 1 Introduction 4 2 Our vision 5 3 Critical transport challenges 6 4 Keeping it customer-focussed 10 5 From local neighbourhoods to global markets 13 6 Making it happen 22 3 1 Introduction 1. Greater Manchester is changing. Not only is it growing, both in terms of population and economy, it is also on a path towards significant devolution of powers and funding from central Government, supported by a directly- elected mayor. It is in this context of change that we are developing our 2040 Transport Strategy. 2. The aim is to establish a fully integrated, high capacity transport system for Greater Manchester, with travelling customers at its heart. 3. Transport is crucial in supporting Greater Manchester’s ambitious plans – growth will need and be driven by new connectivity. This is true on both a local and pan-northern level; Greater Manchester has a fundamental role to play at the heart of a successful Northern Powerhouse. 4. Why 2040? The opportunities offered by devolution and greater local determination allow us to take a much bolder and longer-term view of our transport needs. We want to take this opportunity to ensure that we can sustain the success of Greater Manchester for generations to come. 5. Our 2040 Vision for Transport, which we consulted on in 2015, set the scene for the start of a radical, and ambitious, new approach to planning our transport system in support of long-term needs and aspirations.

  • Hibrit Çim Yönteminin Futbol Sahalarında Uygulanırlığı Buket ÖZDEMİR IŞIK1 1Avrasya Üniversitesi, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Trabzon, Türkiye
    Vol. 5, No.2, 1-10, 2017 Research Article Cilt 5, Sayı 2, 1-10, 2017 Araştırma Makalesi Hibrit Çim Yönteminin Futbol Sahalarında Uygulanırlığı Buket ÖZDEMİR IŞIK1 1Avrasya Üniversitesi, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Trabzon, Türkiye. ÖZ Çim zeminlerle kaplı alanlara bakıldığında, farklı alan kullanımlarının olduğu görülmektedir. Özellikle yoğunluğu fazla olan ve kapladığı alan bakımından geniş alanlara sahip (futbol, ragbi, golf vb.) spor sahaları, açık alan konser ve rekreasyon alanlarında basılabilir çim zeminlerin kolay deforme olması sebebiyle yerine alternatif çözüm önerileri araştırılmaya başlanmıştır. Araştırmalar sonrasında ilk olarak suni (sentetik) çim geliştirilmiştir. Daha sonra 1990’lı yıllarda hibrit çim yöntemi bulunmuş ve spor sahalarında uygulanmaya başlanmıştır. 20 milyon yapay liflerle güçlendirilmiş ve yarı yapay yarı doğal çim olan bu yöntem toprak altına makinalar ile enjekte edilerek doğal çim köklerinin güçlenmesini sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada da Dünya’da 40, Türkiye’de 5 futbol sahasında uygulanan hibrit çim yönteminin Trabzon Medikal Park Arena ile Rize Çaykur Didi Futbol Statlarındaki uygulama aşamaları ve doğal çim zeminlere oranla avantajları ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Yeni bir buluş olan bu yöntemin ilerleyen zamanlarda açık alan kullanımları için; zemin ve uygulama sonrası bakım, uzun ömürlü olma, kolay bozulmama gibi faktörler açısından kullanım kapasitesine göre daha iyi sonuçlar vereceği düşünülmüştür. Anahtar kelimeler: Hibrit, hibrit çim, suni çim, futbol sahası, grassmaster Applicability Of Hybrid Grass Method For Football Pitches ABSTRACT Based on the grounds covered with grass, we see there are different usages. Due to the fact that walkable grass grounds in sport arenas particularly having density and covering a huge ground (soccer, rugby, golf…etc.), open air concert areas and recreation areas were easily deformed, alternative solution proposals were searched out.
