Mexico has deployed over 45,000 troops and 5,000 police officers to combat drug cartel violence in 18 states, but this has only prompted cartels to increase their attacks. Over 28,000 people have died in drug-related violence since 2007. The drug wars have also reduced educational and job opportunities for Mexican youth, prompting more to join cartels and exacerbating poverty. Politicians have largely failed to address the social impacts of the drug wars or implement effective reforms to support communities affected by the violence.

2011 03 The Bristol Port Company – John Chaplin SevernEstuary
John Chaplin discusses the role of ports in addressing climate change. He notes that ports must reduce emissions from logistics and operations, use renewable energy, and help customers lower emissions. Bristol Port has taken several steps, including fleet modernization, wind turbines generating over 15 GWh annually, and a short sea shipping service saving thousands of miles. Ports can also support renewable energy and meet government objectives through activities like offshore wind and biomass import. Ports have a key role to play in reducing UK emissions through efficient logistics and renewable energy delivery.
Intertidal habitat creation as compensation for the impacts of dredging assoc...Tristan Wiggill
This document summarizes how intertidal habitat creation was used as compensation for environmental impacts from dredging and development associated with the London Gateway Port project. Monitoring showed that the created intertidal habitat successfully developed and now supports a diversity of invertebrates and provides feeding habitat for bird populations, fulfilling its intended compensatory purpose. Lessons learned include that managed realignment can be an effective tool for port developers to mitigate impacts if a sufficient habitat is created and monitoring evaluates the success of meeting conservation goals. The principles may also apply to habitat creation compensation for port developments in Africa.

APM webinar held on 15 April 2021, sponsored by the Northern Ireland Branch.
The planning and delivery for the new North-West Multi-Modal Transport Hub in Derry~Londonderry from concept to handover.
The new multi-modal North-West Transport Hub in Derry~Londonderry aims to create a gateway with enhanced connectivity to the north west region. Located at the former Waterside train station, an 1852 Grade B-listed building, the project integrates rail services with local, inter-urban and cross border bus services as well as cycle and walking routes and supports wider regeneration.
The £28m project has received funding from the EU’s INTERREG VA Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) as well as support from the Department for Infrastructure (NI), Department Transport, Tourism and Sport (Ireland) as well as Derry City and Strabane Council.
The first phase of the project, completed in October 2019 includes 1.8km of new railway track, signaling systems, new platforms and canopies as well as the re-development and restoration of the listed building and links to the city Greenway.
Phase two of the project which comprised a new Park and Ride facility, bus turning facilities and public realm space was completed in November 2020.
The event gave an insight to the challenges of planning and delivery of a complex multi-disciplinary transport project, including the restoration of a listed building.

Transport Scotland requested that Scottish Water relocate their long sea outfall infrastructure to accommodate construction of a new pier for the Forth Replacement Crossing project. Grontmij was hired to design and oversee construction of a replacement outfall. They determined that using HDPE piping instead of the original expensive armored piping, along with changing from a twin pipe to single pipe design and simplifying the diffuser, would reduce costs and health and safety risks. The redesigned outfall was constructed on schedule by September 2010 through conventional barge techniques. The project demonstrated that thorough understanding of historical context and value engineering can produce substantial savings.
The Dunmurry Wastewater Treatment Works (WwTW) located in Belfast underwent a £5.5 million upgrade to modernize its outdated systems and increase its capacity to 62,500 people equivalents. The upgrade included installing new fine bubble aeration tanks, a 31m diameter final settlement tank, increased sludge handling capacity, and automation to improve treatment and meet stricter consent standards for nutrients. The upgrade works were completed in 2012 and ensured the plant could reliably treat wastewater from growing populations in the area well into the future.
East Cowes - Proposed development - Solent Gateways - Dec 2014onthewight
The document proposes improvements to connectivity between Southampton and the Isle of Wight through the Solent Gateways project. This includes enhancing the public areas around the Red Funnel ferry terminals in East Cowes and Southampton to improve the transport interchanges and stimulate regeneration. Specific proposals for East Cowes include upgrading Bridge Square, York Square, and Trinity Wharf near the ferry terminal with new public spaces, pedestrian priority areas, and a cohesive waterfront design using materials like stone, timber and steel. The project aims to complete an existing masterplan and improve traffic flow, public transport access, and the quality of the town center environment.
- The document provides a construction update for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT project in Toronto, including progress at various stations along the eastern section from Science Centre station to Kennedy station.
- Construction is ongoing with excavation, structural works, guideway and track installation underway or completed at most stations. Interior station works and finishes are nearing completion at Science Centre station.
- The project involves a 19km LRT route, 10km underground and 9km at surface, with 15 underground stations and 10 surface stops. A maintenance facility is also being constructed.
This document provides an overview of the M6 Carlisle to Guards Mill project. It summarizes the existing conditions, objectives of the project, and proposed scope of works. It also outlines the various route options considered and presents a cost comparison. The preferred option of a reduced scope D3M route is selected, providing safety and accessibility benefits while saving over £12 million. Key aspects of the project programme, structures, and quantities are then summarized.
The document summarizes a $307 million investment in nine road-rail improvement projects along the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor by 2014. The projects are aimed at improving safety, reducing delays, and increasing efficiency of the growing road and rail networks to support international trade. By separating road and rail traffic with overpasses and sidings, the number of level crossings will be reduced from 66 to improve traffic flow for over 338,000 vehicles and increase rail capacity from 18 to 38 trains per day. The projects are part of larger trade infrastructure plans and will provide local and regional economic benefits by enhancing transportation of goods and people.
This document discusses the need for a second harbour crossing in Auckland to alleviate traffic congestion on the existing Auckland Harbour Bridge and support future growth. Three options for a new crossing are presented - a passenger-only crossing between Esmonde and Britomart, a combined passenger and vehicle crossing between those points, and a third option connecting Esmonde and Britomart to Grafton. The options aim to provide more transport options across the harbour while supporting regional development goals. Further study will refine the options to identify a preferred crossing route.

Metrolinx was created in 2006 to improve transportation coordination in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). Metrolinx has invested over $30 billion in new transit infrastructure projects across the GTHA, including expanding GO train service, building 64 km of new light rail transit including the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, and 52 km of new bus rapid transit. The document provides details on construction progress for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, including mining work underway at Laird Station, preparatory work along the at-grade portion of the route, and cut-and-cover construction methodology at Science Centre Station.
The Queen Street Station tunnel and throat in Glasgow underwent a £60 million renewal project over 20 weeks to replace deteriorated infrastructure. Key work included removing the old concrete slab track through the 918m tunnel and replacing it with a new track system, demolishing and reconstructing station platforms, and upgrading signalling and electrification. The project involved over 500,000 man-hours of work by 2,900 people and presented challenges around construction in a busy city center location. Safety and stakeholder/passenger communication were priorities to successfully complete the work.

8. • The village had an A road running through it so at the request of local
residents and councillors they created a give and take priority working
system with a mini roundabout at the central junction.
• As part of the works they were requested to undertake a resurfacing
scheme at the same time as well as general maintenance around the
village such as hedge cutting, gully emptying, some new footway
construction and replacement of damaged or missing signs. The works
should have taken 3 weeks on site but was completed on site in 6 days
to minimise disruption to residents and local businesses.
• The scheme has been hailed by both residents and councillors as a
massive success, already cutting vehicular speeds and volumes
through the village.
• Waterman Aspen secondee Ian was the lead designer, site engineer
and public liaison officer and dealt with the scheme from concept
through to completion on site.

9. • A Waterman Aspen staff member was seconded to Newham Council
and was working on some traffic related schemes just outside of the
Olympic Park.
• The scheme, which was awarded funding by LOCOG in January 2012,
was to enable safe crossing for approximately 450,000 plus
pedestrians visiting the Uniform Distribution and Accreditation Centre
(UDAC) before and during the Olympic Games.
• There was a mixture of Stewards and Technical Officers visiting the
centre during the Games and they were all encouraged to travel to the
site via public transport, which in this case was Star Lane DLR.
• The UDAC centre opened for operations on 16th April 2012 and
remained open for 160 days. At any one time it is estimated that there
were 900 people on site.

10. • There were several problematic areas encountered during the build. The
placement of the piles both landward and seaward being driven into
some of the world’s hardest Basalt volcanic rock.
• There was many areas where everything had to be done differently to
the norm in order to keep all parties satisfied during the construction
phase. The majority of materials had to be brought in by sea to avoid
disturbance of the golf course from heavy haulage vehicles. For the
marine construction they had to employ the use of a huge jack up
platform that was as high as the surrounding cliffs.
• The slipway design is a thing of beauty in itself and natural stone work
has been placed to reflect the image of the original slipway which was
built around 1860. The building itself is as beautiful on the inside
constructed from oak arched glulam beams and the local stonemasons
have done a terrific job in making the building blend in to its Natural
surroundings.

12. Carmarthenshire County Council and the Welsh Assembly Government are
working as Joint Venture partners to promote the long term regeneration of
the whole of the Bury Port and Llanelli Coastline. Waterman have carried out
the following:
• Hydraulic analysis of the Nant Dyfaty, potential tidal flooding at Burry Port.
• Assessment of existing drainage infrastructure and pluvial flood risk,
strategic drainage design for foul and surface water discharges.
• Fluvial analysis carried out using FEH and Tuflow. The Assessment has
provided input to the Master plan and subsequently enabled mitigation
measures to be designed to promote 3no.mixed use development sites.
The Environment Agency originally showed the whole of the Master Plan
area to be at risk of flooding. Our detailed analysis has however revealed
this not to be the case and has permitted the progression of a Master Plan
for around £40m of mixed use development.

13. • In Warwickshire, queuing on the hard shoulder of the M40 occurs in the
morning peak periods due to traffic waiting to leave the motorway at
Junctions 12. Queues of up to 2km form at the junction which creates a
risk of high speed collisions due to the mix of stationary and fast
moving traffic in close proximity. The congestion at Junction 12 is due
to the very high volume of traffic travelling to the Jaguar-Land Rover
(JLR) and Aston Martin (AM) sites. There is a lack of capacity at the
motorway junction itself and on the Warwickshire CC’s network
between the motorway and the JLR and AM site entrances.
• Waterman Aspen secondees working with internal client, Transport
Planning Group, have designed an improvement to J12 and the route
from J12 to the site entrances that will solve the current congestion and
provide capacity for an extra 5000 jobs at JLR and AM. The scheme
includes a lengthening the J12 off slip, a dual carriageway section and
a number of signalised junctions along the route.

15. • A Waterman Aspen Area Manager is seconded to the Highways
Agency in Birmingham. He was recently involved in a project that saw
him working solidly through the night to dismantle Pegwell Brake
footbridge over the M5 near Bristol.
• The concrete footbridge, located between junctions 16 and 17, needed
to be demolished to make way for a new steel pedestrian bridge, which
will be suitable for high-sided vehicles to pass under when the
managed motorway is fully operational and the hard shoulder is used
as a running lane.
• The dismantling and removal of the 220-tonne bridge required the M5
to be closed in both directions for the duration of the work.
• The bridge was dismantled into two sections, each of which was
hoisted and removed by cranes. Using this method of removal avoided
excessive vibration due to the presence of a pipeline on the
northbound carriageway.

16. • Leicestershire County Council’s living willow visibility screen is designed
to restrict visibility and hence reduce vehicle speeds on the A50 and
A511 approaches to the M1 Junction 22.
• The screen comprises of living willow shoots about 2m high attached
together to form panels. This provided a solution that was sympathetic to
the nature conservation value of the area at no extra cost, and without
having to blight the landscape with an uglier type barrier.
• Trial holes were dug at the site and revealed an old carriageway under
the planting area which was then removed. Maintaining the screen
should be relatively straightforward and details of the planting project
were featured in an article in Surveyor magazine.
• The effects of the screen were evaluated. The council monitored the site
to ascertain whether the barrier lengths are correct and the monitoring
will be ongoing. They also checked for congestion, speeds and
welcomed feedback from the local residents.

• Waterman Aspen are currently working on the Edinburgh Trams Project
which is being built between Edinburgh Airport and the City Centre of
Edinburgh. The project is currently running late and is £200 million over
budget and wont now go to Leith as was originally contracted.
• Currently track has been laid on sections ready to receive it and that
includes the section leading to the airport, the large depot area at
Gogarburn, the old guided busway near Broomhouse, Haymarket
Station and all of Princes Street.
• Challenges for the future will include working close to Network Rail's
track north to Aberdeen, very brief access to road crossings at the
airport to enable the airport traffic to continue to flow, and working near
heavy traffic at South Gyle shopping centre. The work is varied and
constantly offering fresh challenges.
18. • Waterman has staff seconded into the Highways Agency and have
worked on the QMB on Princess Parkway bridge renovation scheme.
• The QMB is a big yellow machine that moves temporary concrete
barriers using a system of rollers. The 600m of barrier at Princess
Parkway are moved each evening to give working space to work on the
bridge leaving just one lane for traffic. The concrete barrier gives good
solid protection to the people working on the site and enough space to
be able to safely undertake the repair work in the bridge's concrete
boxes. Before the morning peak hour the barriers are moved back
again to leave two lanes for traffic. Each operation takes about 15
minutes with additional works to change the approach signs and cones
but the use of the QMB provided a solution to a challenging traffic
management problem.
• Without the QMB, the queues would have extended some 17 miles
round the M60 at peak times.

19. • Waterman staff are seconded to the Highways Agency and have worked
towards the delivery of the A419 Blunsdon Bypass.
• The £65.5m ECI project involved the construction of a 3.5km offline
bypass which consisted of an underbridge, 2 overbridges and 1 grade-
separated junction to improve journey time reliability through Blunsdon
and improve safety. The construction phase of the project commenced in
September 2006 and completed in March 2009.
• The A419 passes through the village of Blunsdon on the edge of
Swindon, causing considerable road safety concerns, congestion and
severe environmental issues. The construction of the two mile dual
carriageway will take traffic west of Blunsdon. The design of the new
bypass was based on sustainability and therefore the alignment was
developed to reduce the amount of material excavated and addressed
concerns of the local community to minimise the disruption to traffic
during construction. The removal of through traffic will significantly
improve life in the village.

20. • This shared use facility runs from Primrose Hill roundabout to Guys Cliffe
roundabout and is part of Sustrans National Cycle Network, Route 52
• The key objectives of the scheme were to improve the links for
pedestrians between Warwick, Leek Wooton and Kenilworth.
Warwickshire CC also wanted to increase the number of cyclists by 5%
before 2011. This was actually increased by 18% in the first year.
• The design criteria was to have the path 2.5m wide at all times with a 1m
verge where possible. Where there were restrictions the width was
reduced to 2m. Problems included the highway ditches near to the passing
bay at Saxon Mill and a highway fence that had to be installed to protect
cyclists and pedestrians.
• The carriageway near to Saxon Mill regularly flooded so with close
consultation with County Highways and Warwick District Council, the
gullies were unblocked and ditches cleared out.
• Construction took place over 12 weeks and was carried out under the LTP
Framework contract.
