Concrete Slab and Arch Bridges 101 Masonry Bridges Heritage Study of Masonry Bridges in NSW 2005 1 Historical Overview of Bridge Types in NSW: Extract from the Study of Masonry Bridges in NSW HISTORICAL BACKGROUND TO MASONRY BRIDGES IN NSW 1.1 History of early bridges constructed in NSW Bridges constructed prior to the 1830s were relatively simple forms. The majority of these were timber structures, with the occasional use of stone piers. The first bridge constructed in NSW was built in 1788. The bridge was a simple timber bridge constructed over the Tank Stream, near what is today the intersection of George and Bridge Streets in the Central Business District of Sydney. Soon after it was washed away and needed to be replaced. The first "permanent" bridge in NSW was this bridge's successor. This was a masonry and timber arch bridge with a span of 24 feet erected in 1803 (Figure 1.1). However this was not a triumph of colonial bridge engineering, as it collapsed after only three years' service. It took a further five years for the bridge to be rebuilt in an improved form. The contractor who undertook this work received payment of 660 gallons of spirits, this being an alternative currency in the Colony at the time (Main Roads, 1950: 37) Figure 1.1 “View of Sydney from The Rocks, 1803”, by John Lancashire (Dixson Galleries, SLNSW).

The effects of salinity were first identified at the Wagga Wagga Showground in the late 1970s where grass was dying off and despite encouragement the grass would not return. The cause of this dieback was not determined until 1994 where after extensive testing and research it was determined that the area was suffering from the effects of urban salinity.

  • Water Cycle with Zero Discharge at Tumut Pulp and Paper Mill New South Wales - Australia

    Water Cycle with Zero Discharge at Tumut Pulp and Paper Mill New South Wales - Australia

    WATER CYCLE WITH ZERO DISCHARGE AT TUMUT PULP AND PAPER MILL NEW SOUTH WALES - AUSTRALIA OTTO SZOLOSI, Senior Projects Engineer - Water/Waste Water/Irrigation, [email protected] VISY PAPER PROJECTS, Building D, 13 Reo Crescent, Campbellfield, Victoria, 3061 Australia Abstract The Tumut Visy Pulp and Paper Mill is one of the cleanest mills in the world, reflecting Visy Industries’ commitment to sustainable manufacturing. Visy Industries have developed a new Pulp and Paper Mill in Tumut, NSW – Australia, which showcased innovative environmental and sustainable energy technologies, including the biggest continuous biomass energy facility in Australia. Construction of the mill began in 1999 and was complete it by 2001. Total investment in the project was AUD$435 million. The Tumut Mill used extensive industry experience and many well-known companies in the paper industry to engineer an advanced mill concept with zero levels of effluent leaving the site. Careful project planning included steps to minimise raw water intake, maximise reuse opportunities and reduce effluent. The Tumut Pulp and Paper Mill produces 300,000 tonnes of unbleached kraft pulp and paper board per year, from around 800,000 tones of pine plantation pulp logs and forest waste plus recycled paper, cardboard and sawmill residues, using advanced cleaner production technology and achieving significant reuse. Per tonne of pulp, it is one of the most resource efficient and pollution free operations in the world. Its raw water consumption (4.61 m3/tonne of paper) and effluent discharge (1.53 m3/tonne of paper) are believed to be the lowest in the world. Treated effluent is irrigated on a 110 ha farm, around the Mill producing fodder for cattle.
  • Assisting New White Lupin Processing Industries by Breeding Larger- and Smaller-Seeded Cultivars

    Assisting New White Lupin Processing Industries by Breeding Larger- and Smaller-Seeded Cultivars

    ASSISTING NEW WHITE LUPIN PROCESSING INDUSTRIES BY BREEDING LARGER- AND SMALLER-SEEDED CULTIVARS R.N. Oram1 and K.F. Landers2 1 CSIRO Plant Industry, Canberra, ACT. 2601 2 Formerly NSW Agriculture, Agricultural Research Institute, Wagga Wagga, NSW (now Westbury, Tasmania 7303) Abstract Two cultivars of white lupin with smaller (Minibean) or larger (Maxi) than normal seeds have been developed in a 25-year program of crossing, selection, induced mutagenesis and field testing. Over 90% of the seeds of Minibean are less than 10 mm in minimum diameter whereas 55% of the seeds of Maxi are larger than 10 mm in diameter. Both cultivars flower in mid-season, but mature late, especially Maxi, which requires a cool, moist late spring and early summer to maximise seed size. Maxi produces large seeds which attract a premium as food in Middle Eastern countries. The smaller seeds of Minibean are better suited to sowing and harvesting with standard cereal machinery, and give higher plant densities, and hence higher yield potential, at standard sowing rates. The grain is aimed at on-farm, feed-lot finishing of stock, and as split grains and flour in various foods and feeds. Key words: Lupinus albus, white lupin, large-seeded, small-seeded, new cultivars, food. The Mediterranean white lupin has been cultivated in parts of WA, NSW, and Victoria since the release of the late-maturing cultivar, Hamburg, and the early maturing cultivars Ultra and Kiev Mutant (1, 2, 3), to provide, initially, a high-protein stock feed supplement (5), and, more recently, a new source of a traditional, nutritious food for Middle Eastern people.
