The Dock Westway Renfrew Scotland’S Newest Dock THE DOCK WESTWAY RENFREW SCOTLAND’S NEWEST DOCK 3 YOUR GATEWAY TO THE CLYDE AND BEYOND WE’RE ALWAYS CREATING NEW OPPORTUNITIES AT WESTWAY Westway benefits from having its own on site dock facility, specifically designed for the marine transportation of heavy/ bulky unit loads by RO/RO (roll on roll off), or LO/LO (lift on lift off) cargoes. The dock is on the White Cart Water which is just 1.25 miles from the River Clyde. This provides an alternative shipping solution for large project cargoes that are unsuitable for road transportation or are bound for foreign markets. 4 DOCK REFURBISHMENT NEW AND IMPROVED The existing dock refurbishment included dredging the dock area to provide a level draft. A new continuous steel pile wall was constructed in front of the original dock wall, capped with concrete and tied back through the original structure. The dock was widened to accommodate barges 24m wide and 75m long. The original dolphin was removed to provide the wider berth required, with a new dolphin and linking walkways also installed, allowing barges to be turned and manoeuvred as necessary. 6 DOCK SPECIFICATION A MODERN FACILITY THAT MEETS ALL REQUIREMENTS Westway dock, which is located on the tidal reaches of the River Cart, will be used to transport components by barge from the manufacturers based within the Westway Industrial Park. The existing dock had reached the end of its serviceable life and a complete rebuild was required to allow future use. The first exercise undertaken was to complete a dredging operation of the dock basin and immediate reaches of the river to return them to optimum levels to suit a range of vessel movements. Some 5,500m³ of sediment was removed and disposed of off-site. The reconstruction of the dock walls, anchorage points and access facilities will allow bigger barges, up to 24m wide, to use the facility. The limiting factor on the allowable width is access through the Bascule Bridge further down the White Cart river at Renfrew. The length of barge and allowable draft are 76.2m and 3.05m respectively. The basin floor is designed to allow barges to “take the bottom” at low tidal times. The new dock wall is capable of withstanding a 10kN/m² uniformly distributed load from the barge. Clearly defined loading criteria are highlighted on operation arrangements to aid loading and servicing berthed vessels. In expanding the presentation length of the dock it is possible to moor a second smaller barge adjacent to the main berth. The new dolphin is designed to accommodate the pull from the line around a 30 tonne bollard, acting in any direction, a facility which is essential for the manoeuvring of barges in and out of the facility.

THE last account of the River Clyde presented to The Institut’ionl was thatby the late Mr. James Deas, Engineer of the Clyde Navigation, read in May, 1873, and the purpose of this Paper is to sketch the progress of the works from that date until now. This period is, however, so long that space will not permit of dealing in detail with all the workswhich have been executed. Briefly, thestate of matters in 1873 was thatthe river, from Glasgow to the sea at Port Glasgow, had an average depth of 15 to 18 feet at low water, and 25 to 28 feet at high water of spring- tides, while the largest vessel navigating the river had a draught of 22 feet;the total quayage of theharbour was 6,410 yards in 1engt)h; thewater-area was 76 acres ; there was onlyone small dock or basin(Kingston dock) ; the quantity of goods imported and exported amounted to 2,236,925 tons; the tonnage of vessels arriving at and departing from the harbour was 4,392,402 tons; and the revenue amounted to&182,907.

  • A Short History of the Glasgow Humane Society Complete with Contextual Historical Events, Newspaper and Minute Articles
    THE GLASGOW HUMANE SOCIETY A Short History of the Glasgow Humane Society Complete with contextual historical events, newspaper and minute articles Dr George G. Parsonage, MBE 8/1/2016 The following gives an idea of what the world was like at the end of the 1700’s, it tells of the foundation of the Glasgow Humane Society, of the Awards and Gifts given to the Society and of some of the main occurrences in its development. 1. The Glasgow Humane Society and Enlightenment: The Spirit of an Age The Glasgow Humane Society was set up by members of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow at some point in the 1790s. This period marked the latter stages of what has been came to be termed as the ‘Enlightenment’ or ‘Enlightenment movement’ by historians and other scholars alike. It is notable for many features but for the Glasgow Humane Society’s purpose it can be seen as a time when the influence of scholars and philosophers such as Descartes, Newton, Kant, Goethe, Voltaire, Rousseau, and Adam Smith – to name but a few – created in Europe a temperament in man for reason and self- improvement and moving away from religious intolerance and ignorance. At this previous time if you fell (or jumped) into a waterway and were in danger of drowning seldom would anyone go to your assistance. In the eyes of the church, if you attempted to take your own life, as many who jumped into the river no doubt had in mind, you were to end up in hell and suffer eternal damnation.

  • Strategic Greenbelt Review
    Background Paper 4 Strategic Greenbelt Review Renfrewshire Local Development Plan January 2013 1. Introduction This paper is intended to set out the background to the strategic review of the Renfrewshire green belt, undertaken in 2012 as part of the preparation for the Renfrewshire Local Development Plan. It sets out the methodology of how the green belt was reviewed and the conclusions and recommendations that have been reached, that propose the release of a limited number of sites from the green belt for other uses. 2. Background 2.1 The Renfrewshire Local Plan was adopted in March 2006. The Local Plan did not propose any alteration to the green belt boundary and the Scottish Government Inquiry Reporter confirmed this assessment. 2.2 As part of the development plan process there is regular monitoring and assessment of the demand for development land. It is considered that, although there is an adequate supply of development land within Renfrewshire, there needs to be an adequate range and choice of sites across the area to deliver the optimistic growth strategy as set out in the Glasgow and the Clyde Valley Strategic Development Plan. 2.3 This review has been prepared to demonstrate that the boundary of the green belt has continued relevance, however, there may be sites on the edge of existing settlements which could facilitate growth in the area, if required. This issue will be explored through this strategic green belt review, together with the identification of potential locations to enhance the green network. 3. National Policy 3.1 Scottish Planning Policy (SPP) states that the purpose of green belt designation is to direct planned growth to the most appropriate locations as well as support regeneration, protect and enhance the quality, character, landscape setting and identity of towns and cities, along with providing access to open space within and around towns and cities.
