“Floatgen @ SEM-REV: a successful partnership between the world’s first multi-technology offshore test-site and France´s first offshore wind turbine”
The document discusses Cellweb®TRP, a 3D cellular confinement system designed to prevent root severance and soil compaction within root protection areas during construction. It meets British standards for temporary ground protection by supporting traffic without distorting or compacting underlying soil. Cellweb®TRP has been successfully used since 1998 for construction near trees in accordance with standards. It is increasingly the preferred system as authorities seek reliable temporary ground protection.
Bétonpact® - Rapid setting, high performanceEurovia_Group
Betonpact is a roller-compacted concrete developed by Eurovia that can be used for industrial surfaces and roads. It uses conventional road construction equipment for manufacturing, transporting, and laying down a layer between 150-280mm thick. Betonpact offers high mechanical strength, rapid drying time allowing re-opening to traffic, freeze-thaw resistance, and can be used for heavy load areas like ports, factories, and high traffic roads.
This document discusses cutter soil mixing (CSM), a soil improvement technique that combines horizontal cutter technology with conventional soil mixing. It describes the basic principles of CSM, including improving soil properties by mixing in cementitious grout. The document outlines the CSM process, equipment used, and various applications like retaining walls, cut-off walls, foundations and soil stabilization. Specific CSM projects discussed include retaining walls in Antwerp and a cut-off wall for the MOSE flood protection project in Venice.
Thanks to detailed and proactive planning, coordination with the
transportation partners, and work done mainly at night and on weekends, JCCBI accomplished the
ambitious program set at the beginning of the season while minimizing the impact on users. Major
repair and reinforcement work was carried out on the Corporation’s entire network this year to keep
users safe and ensure that its structures last as long as possible.
The CFG-foundation is a gravity-based foundation for offshore wind turbines that has several advantages over traditional foundations: it can be installed without heavy lifting vessels, requires no underwater installation work, is well-suited for deep waters and large turbines, and can be decommissioned by reversing the installation process. The CFG consists of a hollow concrete cylinder that provides buoyancy during towing and a steel column attached to a concrete slab resting on the seabed once installed. It is fabricated near the installation site to reduce transportation costs and risks.
The document discusses techniques for underwater construction, including caissons, cofferdams, and different methods for placing concrete underwater. Caissons and cofferdams are the two main techniques used to create a dry work environment for underwater construction. Caissons are permanent watertight structures used for foundations, while cofferdams are temporary structures built with sheet piling. Common methods for placing concrete underwater include the tremie method, pump method, toggle bags, and bagwork. The tremie method is the standard for major structures due to reliability in placing high-quality concrete.
The document provides an update on the removal action at Hangar 1 at the former NAS Moffett Field. It summarizes the progress made, including continued monitoring, roof and siding removal, coating inspections and applications. Scaffolding installation and movement are discussed. The objectives of controlling PCB releases and demolishing interior structures are restated. The upcoming schedule targets completion of fieldwork in zones 1-6 and demobilization by summer 2012.

This document discusses how to optimize the development and structuring of offshore wind farms (OWFs) in order to minimize costs. It examines different spatial planning and development processes used in Europe. The optimal process balances minimizing development risks and contingencies during the tender with efficient timelines between tender award and final investment decision. Processes that involve securing permits after the tender carry more risk, while those involving preliminary technical studies before the tender help reduce development timelines and costs. The document analyzes examples from France, the Netherlands, Denmark, and the UK to determine the most effective approach.
The document discusses Navantia's experience and facilities for offshore wind projects. It details Navantia's work on floating wind projects like Hywind and Windfloat, where it constructed and assembled floating wind turbine foundations. It also discusses the TLP Wind project and Navantia's collaboration with ports for final assembly and storage of floating structures. The conclusions state that floating wind requires large areas for fabrication, assembly and storage and that yards and ports need to collaborate for efficient construction. Navantia is well-positioned to cooperate in designing floating wind solutions given its experience.
This document summarizes the progress made on an Atlantic offshore wind project near the island of Groix in France. Over four years, the project secured necessary financing, permitting, and technical approvals. Key steps included gaining support from French state agencies, holding public meetings to obtain consent from local stakeholders, and conducting environmental impact assessments. Lessons learned included the importance of coordination between offshore wind and marine energy industries to help optimize and streamline future projects.
This document summarizes the Provence Grand Large floating wind pilot farm project. It discusses the project's history since 2010, the extensive consent process with local stakeholders, and the engineering work completed so far including metocean studies and grid connection agreements. It also describes the selection of the Marseille-Fos port site and next steps to speed up permitting for pilot projects and clarify the roadmap for future commercial projects in the region.
Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.

Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.
The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.
