Article from Exeter Tyre Recovery
EXETER Tyre Recovery, working in association with Avery Tyre Recycling, offers British Standard PAS 108 waste tyre bales for use in civil engineering projects. Joe Bussell, contracts manager for the partnership, who is encouraging civil engineers to research the advantages of this product, said: ‘Tyre bales reduce the need for virgin natural stone aggregates - decreasing the impact on the natural environment and the carbon footprint associated with transportation of the heavy rock and stone products. ‘The EA (Environment
Agency) and WRAP (Waste and Resources
Action
Programme) fully support the use of tyre bales under their formal guidance and detailed information is available at a number related websites.’
Suggested applications
for tyre bales include: *Road Sub Base *Retaining Walls *Gabions
*Flood Control *Landfill Infrastructure
Works *River Bank and Railway Bank Erosion
*Other Land Slide and Embankment Problems *Woodland Access Road Drainage
*Horse Gallop Drainage *Firing Range & Bunker Drainage
*Golf Course Drainage *Motorway & Railway Sound Barriers Joe says: ‘Amazingly this product is absolutely free of charge and the only cost to a project is the transportation charge from our operating base on the Hill Barton Business Park on the outskirts of Exeter.’

FROM Aspect Window’s conception more than 30 years ago, the business is yet again breaking new ground in the UK with its partnership with Internorm - the Austrian company which services most of Europe offering its ‘State of Art’ glazing systems and technical support. The Internorm products are aimed
at achieving very high standards of thermal and acoustic insulation, air tightness and solar gain for the next generation of house building. The systems are designed for use with ‘Passivhaus’
and high
performance glazing specifications and Aspect Windows offers full technical advice backed by Internorm’s expertise gained during 80 years of development. A passive house provides a consistent, comfortable temperature in winter, as well as in summer, without using a conventional heating or air conditioning system. Using the existing temperature provided through solar irradiation through the windows as well as the heat from appliances and inhabitants is sufficient: the necessary heating energy for a passive house is only 10 per cent of that
