IMG_3322_rsj.jpg The Noma construction site in Manchester city Centre. Noma is a mixed use development site being developed by the Cooperative Society. True to the Coops ideals, the site will be truly sustainable by generating all of its own power from a renewable energy centre.

IMG_3163_lifting.jpg Construction work on fitting two archimedes screws on a new hydro electric project on the River Leven, at Low Wood near Haverthwaite, Cumbria, UK. When operational they will generate over 400 Kw of green electricity. When operational they will be the largest archimedes screws in the UK. The project uses the old mill race that used to power the gunpowder factory. Heat generated by the turbines, that is usually lost to the atmosphere is going to be pumped directly into a nearby office building. At times when the hydro is not working the offices will be heated by 4 air source heat pumps.

IMG_7157_girder.jpg Fljotsdalur hydro power station part of Karahnjukar a massive new contorversial hydro electricity project in North East Iceland, in the wilderness area of Vatnajokull, created by damming the Jokuls a Dal river. Controversial as it flooded a huge area of one of Europes last wilderness areas, that was home to nesting Whooper Swans and Pink Footed Geese. The project does however produce 40% of Icelands electricity from renewables. The projects statistics are as follows, power generation, 700MW, gross head, 600 metres, Max flow 144 M/sec, Halslon Lake area 57KM squared, storage volume 2.1 million metres, dam height 198m (the tallest in Europe) headrace tunnels 73km. 100 % of Icelands electricity is generated from renewables, 70% from hydro and 30% from geothermal. This shot shows the turbine hall.

IMG_6636_architecture.jpg The NEC, National Exbibition Centre in Birmingham, UK. Glass buildings tend to be very energy hungry. They get too hot in the summer and need cooling down and lose heat in the winter.

IMG_7582_jokulhlaup.jpg Metal girders from a bridge that forded a glacial meltwater river crossing the Skeiderarsandur, in the Skaftafell National Park in Iceland. The bridge was destroyed by a jokulhlaup, a glacial flood that are frequent in the area and often caused by volcanic activity rapidly melting huge quantities of ice.

IMG_4557_train line.jpg The area of the North Wales coast between Prestatyn and Abergele was reclaimed from an ancient salt marsh. As such it is flat, low lying and susceptible to coastal flooding. Climate change driven sea level rise increases the risk making it one of the most at risk coastal areas in the British Isles. In 1990 a combination of strong westerly winds a high tide and a 1.5m storm surge breached 400 metres of the sea wall and inundated 2800 properties in Towyn and Kinmel Bay. The train line and the new housing development in the background are both increasingly at risk.
