CDSM Scheme Executive Summary:
Introduction:
The current construction site (CDSM interpretation centre scheme) is located in Combe Down village on the east side of rock hall lane near Combe Road. The CDSM interpretation centre scheme is part of £161 million Comb Down Stone Mine project which is estimated about £1.5 million and compromise of eight residential houses, one residential flat and one interpretation centre.
History back ground:
Historical aspects are long associated with the city of Bath which is distinguished by its buildings and Roman characteristics. The Southern area of Bath is the location of Combe Down, which has been understood to be of archaeological significance. It is this attribute that gave rise to the extraction and quarrying of high quality stone as far back as 1720.
Ralph Allen Yard (located in the eastern section of Combe Down) is an area that malting’s and industrial activity had been prominent to certain extent. However, over several decades, the yard itself has been subjected to continuous alteration leading to structural deterioration and redundancy to its use. The historic significance associated to structural elements of the yard include its exterior walls, which comprised of stone (Bath Stone). Modern practice had altered these walls with the introduction of steel frames, which has the potential to reduce the character of the streetscape.
Health and safety:

To the reader of this book, who is only aware of Wood Lane in its modern form, it is a product of the age of coal; furthermore, terraced housing and 19th century chapels have formed its structure in living memory. This modern composition hides Wood Lane’s past well, for, in varying forms, it is at least six and possibly eight hundred years
Since its construction in 1799, Ash-Lawn Highland underwent constant structural additions, renovations, and modifications for nearly 131 years. It is the scope of my research assignment to identify the various architectural styles and historical changes in the structure from 1799 to 1930.
With its glorious old sandstone buildings (which gave the area its name), The Rocks a hodgepodge of cobblestone streets dating back to the city’s settlement. Sydney's convict history can be seen in historic pubs and
To begin with, looking at the sandstone model we can then identify its status and ownership through its classification being established as either moveable or heritable. However, if the structure is held to be moveable in nature and subject to accession it would become the property of Lisa . The case of Zahnrad Fabrik Passau GmbH v Terex Ltd. When looking at cases surrounding moveable property, ‘diminution of efficiency’ may result as the test of accession . With this in mind, and applied to James’ case, the folly ‘rests on its own weight although the site had obviously been prepared for it’, it is further established that the folly is in one part, and needed to be removed by a crane to be replaced by a replica model due to ‘substantial damage’. It can be easily established that the folly has been in situ for a considerable amount of time and as illustrated in the case facts ‘The plot was very overgrown’ it was only after considerable landscaping

Desktop Surveys – This survey takes place before the site has been visited and before construction has begun which is during the very early stages of planning. The survey involves a number of different things like the internet, books, maps, geological maps and council offices which all play a part within the survey. A good starting point is to consult a number of large scale maps of the proposed site to check the site boundaries, building lines, existing buildings and other man-made, or natural, features which will affect the future buildings. A comparison with older maps may give some clues to determine former use and potential hazards that may arise.
Our site is a land in the northwestern region of the French Quarter. In the early 20th century, the New Orleans Land Co. owned the land when it was grown up to a modern neighborhood with subdivisions and street network after spending a lot of money. In 1917, the Rosemount cemetery was constructed upon it. Millard University bought the whole land in 1940 and by 1961, the University sold the trapezoidal open land to an industrial waste company. They established incinerators and worked for almost 8 years. In 1980, the City of
Do you know the types of types of formwork materials in Melbourne? It’s an important issue to produce the best results when doing construction work in the second largest city in Australia. Here are some of the main types:
The oldest part of Stonehenge, called Stonehenge I (constructed ca. 3100 BCE), consists of little more than a circular ditch dug in the soil of the Salisbury plain, with the excess soil piled up to make an embankment approximately six feet tall. This area is approximately three hundred thirty feet in diameter, and encompasses “Stonehenge proper” – the familiar circles of massive stones that once stood
I have many great childhood memories at that location. In the 21st century economic practice must be both smart and sustainable. Despite the perceived economic benefits, this serves as another sprawl policy rather than being strategic to promote infill development and other opportunities at wealth. The construction of this neighborhood area violates historic preservation laws ignoring both the significant environmental benefits and traditions closely knitted to Colorado values of being a uniquely pioneer western state. Dinosaur fossils are not readily found throughout the county it would be a shame to construct on such historic areas.
The people who built this stone tomb were the first to come and farm our land. Six thousand years ago when the first people arrived with the intention of farming most of the British landscape was woodland, so they had to undergo the task of cutting down all the trees to clear the landscape. (Tritton, n.d,). Unlike the Mesolithic hunters who hugged the coastlines and river valleys, the first farmers began to break into the interior of Britain where they had found that most of the landscape was covered with forests and oak trees. It was a wild and ancient land that was about to be transformed
Our walk begins with a pleasant stroll through lush meadows to the river Swale, where there are appealing views of Kisdon Hill and the valley extending towards Swinner Gill. After crossing Rampsholme Bridge, we continue onto a tarmacked lane which leads us all the way to Gunnerside. Along the way we pass Gunnerside Lodge at Ivelet, the home of American billionaire Robert Miller, who owns a substantial area of the grouse moors hereabouts.
Even the homes of most kings were not built of stone. The construction and style of Anglo-Saxon building contributed to the later constructs, such as the materials with the use of wood, daub, the rare use of stone, and many natural products. The very wealthy churches would use more expensive materials that even kings didn’t use. Also with the salvaging of many old Roman brick stone and even wood constructs. To the very simple and cheap construction of daub and wooden homes. But even with all the constructs, there are very few left, with most of what is left being the churches and excavations. With this said many materials were used in construction during this time period with the most expensive almost

Summary: The study of New British Library and B.P’s Andrews field development had different approaches in the way the construction was planned. The two projects started their construction work at the same time and had same financial status. Although both the projects was constructed on same time, the New British library was the failure due to the over budget and lack of management leading to many delays during the construction.In the project they did not tackle the expertise and there was not a proper direction of responsibilities for the team during the work. The B.P’s Andrew field development was a successful project because of Good management, Good teamwork, Good spirit among the employees where able to submit the project on given deadline with low cost.
