  • Hallstatt-Dachstein Salzkammergut Cultural Landscape
    road along the lake-shore, being rejected from early in the 1960s and appropriate alternatives being encouraged in order to preserve the historie material. The cultural landscape of the Hallstatt-Dachstein region boasts a continuing organic evolution covering 2500 years. From the very beginning its history has been linked primarily with the economie history of salt extraction. Salt mining has always determined every aspect of life, as well as the architectural and artistic material evidence. Salt production on a major scale can be traced in Hallstatt back to the Middle Bronze Age in the mid 2nd millennium BC. The rich and variegated flora and fauna of the Identification Hallstatt-Dachstein region draws its support from a changing mountain landscape that reaches up to the snow-belt, thus providing many ecological niches, Nomination Hallstatt-Dachstein both large and small. It is remarkable for a mountain Salzkammergut Cultural region to have so many rare and endangered plant Landscape species that are on the Red Lists. The fact that many stretches of woodland in inaccessible locations are Location Provinces ofUpper Austria almost untouched by humans is worthy of special (nominated property and buffer mention. Owing to the low leve! of development and zone) and Styria and Salzburg the enclosed character of the region, these (buffer zone) conservation areas are also of major importance for those species that are very sensitive to human StateParty Republic of Austria interference. Date 16 July 1996 The significance of the glaciated Dachstein mountain, nearly 3000m high, lies in the great density of caves and the three important sites designed to explain the origin and formation of caves to the general public, each representing a different speleological type.

  • STARTING POINT in Hallstatt an Intensive Salt Mining Industry Can Be Traced Back to the Middle and Late Bronze Ages by a Lot of Single and Deposit Findings
    STARTING POINT In Hallstatt an intensive salt mining industry can be traced back to the middle and Late Bronze Ages by a lot of single and deposit findings. Generally three ways of salt extraction can be distinguished: 1) The extraction of sea salt by drying out the sea water in salt gardens. 2) The mainly prehistorical mining of crystalline rock salt. 3) The extraction of salt by dissolving salty water in a salt mine and the following drying up of the brine. The production of brine in the salt mine of Hallstatt has been proved since 1305. The processing of the brine demanded an appropriate concentration of the production facilies, specific forms of manufacturing, organisation, and technology at this very early stage. Taking into consideration the necessary equipment, the division of labour and the diversity of tasks, the evaporation of the brine is classified as a pre-industrial activity. Defining a "Single factory Town" as a place where one company structures the entire communal life, Hallstatt could be seen as the European prototype of this form of settlement. The subject of this lecture will focus on the modern times period, putting stress on the urban, the operational and the functional development of Hallstatt. Furthermore I will show that the urban structure of the area is mainly determined by operational necessities. The systematically planned medieval foundation of the site was destroyed by a catastrophic fire in 1750. All the company's buildings and about 35 town houses were destroyed in it. The reconstruction of the town of Hallstatt after 1750 and the dynamic development of tourism during the 19th century changed the site substantially.

  • Company History @ Murgatroyd's
    Company History @ Murgatroyd’s Hoffman Bearings The UK’s first ball bearing factory was established at New Street on Rectory Lane in Chelmsford 1898 by cousins Geoffrey and Charles Barnett and financed by American ball bearing machine manufacturer Ernst Gustav Hoffman from where the company took its name The Hoffman Manufacturing company rapidly expanded and soon achieved worldwide fame for their precision bearings boasting accuracy better than 1/10,000 of an inch (2.5 micrometres) for all their products Hoffman’s bearings were later used in the first transatlantic flights and extensively on machinery during WWI. For many years it was Chelmsford’s main employer with more employees than the Marconi Company 1892 – Hoffman patented a ball lathe 1897 – Barratt’s persuaded Hoffman to relocate in the UK Since the 1900’s Hoffman supplied all major manufacturers including Rolls Royce, Bentley, Daimler, Austin Riley and many more. They were also involved in the aircraft industry. The company amalgamated with Ransome and Marles Bearing Co and Pollard Ball and Roller Bearing Co in 1969. The works finally closed on 23rd December 1989. Mather and Platt Mather and Platt were established in 1852, a partnership between Colin Mather and William Platt. Colin had leased part of the Salford Iron Works from John Platt, William’s father, in 1845. Mather and Platt became famous for manufacturing centrifugal pumps. They also manufactured an innovative turbine pump designed by Osbourne Reynolds. Due to expansion they purchased a factory in Newton Heath, Manchester in 1900. The iron foundry was the last part of Salford Iron Works to be moved finally closing the factory in 1938.

  • APPENDIX C Dispersion Modeling of Discharged Brine
    FINAL REPORT APPENDIX C Dispersion Modeling of Discharged Brine Smart Solutions for Engineering, Science and Computing Numerical Brine Dispersion Modeling in the Shubenacadie River Martec Technical Report # TR-07-12 March 2007 Management System Certified to: I SO 9001:200 Smart Solutions for Engineering, Science & Computing Martec Limited tel. 902.425.5101 1888 Brunswick Street, Suite 400 fax. 902.421.1923 Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 3J8 Canada email. [email protected] www.martec.com 1.0 Numerical Brine Dispersion Modeling in the Shubenacadie River The numerical modeling of brine dispersion in receiving waters of the Shubenacadie River is based on the USEPA supported Cormix Modeling System (Jirka et. al., 1996) for near-field mixing predictions, and a detailed RMA 10/11 finite element hydrodynamic/water quality river model (United States Waterways Experimental Station Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory) to quantify far-field dispersion. Various outfall configurations were considered as potential designs for brine discharge in the Shubenacadie River. These included the following: Option # 1 Submerged Outfall at mid-channel and shore-attached. Option # 2 Submerged Diffuser positioned across the river width (perpendicular diffuser) and along the riverbank (parallel diffuser). In addition, multi- staged diffuser configurations were considered where ports operate only under specific ambient and discharge conditions. Option # 3 Shore-attached discharge from pre-mixing pond. A mid-channel single outfall as well as the perpendicular diffuser were not considered feasible options due to the potential problems associated with sedimentation covering the outfall or ports, erosion, potential damage to the pipe from ice flows, difficulties associated with laying or directional drilling of the pipe or diffuser across the river and the required annual maintenance.
