CASE HISTORY Ref: CH / GR / EDL00 — Rev:00, October 2016 Landfill Capping IERISSO,CHALKIDIKI, GREECE LANDFILLS Materials: Geosynthetic clay liner Macline GCL W20, Geomembrane Macline SDH100, Geogrid MacGrid WG4, Geosynthetic Drainage Composite MacDrain W1060, Geocells MacWeb E 2007.3 Project Area The application of geosynthetics was done in the final capping landfill project of Aristotelis Municipality in Chalkidiki. This is a project of great importance over the wider area of the Municipality, as the landfill is the final destination of the waste after collection. It is very important to rehabilitate the landfill after the waste disposal. The reason is to avoid or at least minimize any dan- ger of environmental pollution from the uncovered landfill. Application Maccaferri’s geosynthetics were applied in 3 different areas of the Municipality according to the project’s design. Geomembrane and drainage composite application was in an area called Megali Panagia in the following order staring from the waste: Slopes formation 1) Soil material 20 cm (leveling layer) 2) Geomembrane Macline SDH100 (sealing layer) 3) Drainage composite MacDrain W1060 (drainage of rain water layer) 4) Soil material 70 cm 5) Plant soil 30 cm and plants. The second area of application was near Arnaia where the order of geosynthetics was respectively: 1) Soil material 20 cm (leveling layer) 2) Geosynthetic clay liner Macline GCL W20 (sealing layer ) 3) Soil material 70 cm 4) Plant soil 30 cm and plants. The third area of application was near the village Ierissos where the order of geosynthetics was respectively: 1) Soil material 20 cm (leveling layer) 2) Geosynthetic clay liner Macline GCL W20 (sealing lay- MacDrain W1060 - Drainage Composite er ) 3) Soil material 30 cm 4) Geocells MacWeb E 2007.3 and hydro seeding. Moreover in the same landfill area our MacGrid WG4 geogrid was used in order to reinforce a new embankment. The quantities of the materials used in the project were: 1) Macline SDH100 - 14.400 m2 2) MacDrain W1060 - 14.175 m2 3) Macline GCL W20 - 10.780 m2 4) MacWeb E 2007.3 - 14.573 m2 Contractor: G.D.K TECHNIKI L.T.D Construction Date During Installation - MacLine GCL W 20 SUMMER 2015 - 2016 During installation Date: June 2016 During installation Date: June 2016 After closure of the landfill capping © Maccaferri.

Architectural, Constructional and Structural Aspects of a Historic School in Greece. the Case of the Elementary School in Arnaia, Chalkidiki

Abstract: Historic school buildings were built during the end of the 19th century and into the beginning of the 20th century, using the traditional and locally available building materials and techniques, and most of them still function as schools. Because of the requirements arising from their constant use, there is an intense interest in their structural and energy integration, while there is limited research on the tangible and intangible values they encompass. In this study, an effort has been made to assess the historical, architectural, constructional and structural aspects of a historic school building located in the town of Arnaia, in the mountainous part of Chalkidiki peninsula, Northern Greece. The study included on-site inspection, architectural overview, determination and mapping of the constructional materials and techniques applied, as well as investigation of the preservation state of the building. Additionally, a structural analysis of the system was performed through a three-dimensional ﬁnite element model. All research data was comparatively evaluated, in order to identify the principles governing its physiognomy and structure.

Eagles Palace Excursions Proposals
Eagles Palace Excursions Proposals The last prong of Halkidiki (Athos Peninsula) is the most beautiful of all three. Civilization has not intruded into the Holy Mountain, which is in- habited solely by monks. MOUNT ATHOS REPUBLIC The last prong of Halkidiki (Athos Peninsula) is the most beautiful of all three. Civilization has not intruded into the Holy Mountain, which is inhabited solely by monks. This magnificent peninsula has been the sole province of men dedicated to the worship of God and the Virgin for well over a thousand years. Nowadays the number of functioning monasteries has dwindled to 20 with a population of approximately 1,700 brethren. Sur- rounded by an incalculable wealth of ecclesiastical treasure, rare icons and libraries stocked with precious manuscripts, they live simply according to a strict regime of prayer and labor untouched by modern frivolities. Athos, a monument of international cultural heritage, is not only a real museum of the Byzantine art, but a living center or the Christian Orthodox religion. More and more people are visiting “Agion Oros” for spiritual, religious and scientific interests. Since women are not allowed in (due to tradition), and even men need special permission to enter, an easy way to admire and experience Athos, is by taking a day boat cruise along the coast from Eagles Palace. DAILY CRUISE WITH THE HOTELS MOTOR SAILING BOAT The hotels sailing boat can be hired privately and make daily trips like: * a cruise along the coast of the unique Mount Athos republic. This will give you the opportunity to admire a lot of the famous monasteries of Mount Athos or * a day cruise to the near Robinson island and the beautiful island of Ammouliani with a stop to visit the village of Ammouliani and / or to swim in the very clear waters of Karagatsi bay or * a daily cruise to the second finger of Halkidiki peninsula and the small enchanting island Vourvourou can also be arranged.

Location Planning of Fire Service Fleet Based on Forest Fire Susceptibility
Stavros Sakellariou, WSEAS TRANSACTIONS on ENVIRONMENT and DEVELOPMENT Athanassios Sfougaris, DOI: 10.37394/232015.2020.16.66 Olga Christopoulou Location Planning of Fire Service Fleet Based on Forest Fire Susceptibility STAVROS SAKELLARIOU1,2, ATHANASSIOS SFOUGARIS1, AND OLGA CHRISTOPOULOU2 1 Department of Agriculture Crop Production and Rural Environment, University of Thessaly, 38446 Volos, GREECE 2 Department of Planning and Regional Development, University of Thessaly, 38334, Volos, GREECE Abstract: - Forest fires constitute one of the greatest risks for certain ecosystems services. Hence, the location planning of firefighting units based on forest fire hazard is a key point for the immediate containment of fire incidents before they become uncontrollable. The primary aim of the paper is the estimation and finding of the required number and positions (i.e. the exact geographical locations and the respective type of installation – fire hydrant etc.) of fire fleet to fully cover (in terms of travel time) the districts of fire services in Chalkidiki (Greece), taking into account the scalable fire susceptibility. The proposed location plans revealed the fact that most of the regions may adequately respond to the fire vulnerability with the current forces, whereas a few regions clearly need a reinforcement in order to sufficiently cover their territories. A future perspective may be related with the exploration of best locations through the entire study area, merging the current administrative boundaries. One more asset of the project constitutes the flexibility and applicability of the sub-modules to other geographic regions after the necessary adjustments to local conditions. Key-Words: - forest fires; fire susceptibility; location planning; Chalkidiki, Greece Received: July 13, 2020.
