Contractors have started mobilising after mega contracts for the three main tunnel drives on the Thames Tideway project were signed off today.
Construction can now start next year following the confirmation of both the independent investors to finance and deliver the scheme and contract agreements on the 24km tunnel drive under London.
The deals signed with Bazalgette Tunnel Limited, the consortium of investors that holds the concession for the project, paves the way for project to start.
Thames Water also announced that strong competition for both construction and financing has driven down costs for five million London bill payers.
At the peak of construction Thames Tideway will create more than 9,000 direct and indirect jobs around 24 sites in the capital.
For the East works package the Costain, VINCI Construction Grands Projets and Bachy Soletanche joint venture has signed off the contract at £605m, towards the lower end of the £500m-£800m estimate for this section.
Another three-way consortium consisting of Balfour Beatty, BAM Nuttall and Morgan Sindall has signed off the shorter western tunnel drive at a price of £416m, in the middlle of the £300m-£500m estimate.
A Ferrovial Agroman and Laing O’Rourke joint venture secured the largest central section drive for £746m, against a £600m-£900m estimate.
Balfour Beatty willstart mobilisation work for the 6km West tunnel project in September 2015, with completion scheduled for 2022.
The trio of winning consortia will drive the 7.2m diameter tunnel under much of the route of the Thames from Acton in West London to Abbey Mills in the east.
Innovative engineering in the design phase has already reduced the tunnel from the initial 32km proposed, and reduced the number of construction sites needed from 45 to 24.
The tunnels will be dug with a gently sloping gradient, falling 1m for every 790m it travels at a depth up to 60m below the surface.

Hi,
I was working on building a Matrix trilogy inspired adventure map, but my real life work is stalling the project, so instead of letting it sit, I wanted to share the texture pack and what I have started of the map.

The texture pack is 32 x 32 so you will have to use a modloader to run it.
I'm drawing over a copy of "Last Days" which was made by a few different artists, but the terrain.png is about 95% finished, and when its done, this pack will be *completely* different from Last Days, so please pardon the work-in-progress aspect of it, for now.

It was not really designed to be used as a "survival mode" texture pack, although I do include some textures near the bottom for eventually making a hydrid texture map that can be. If you do check it out, please take a look at what the finished map looks like.

Another commission! Could I draw a map of Venice, Iris' home town, with special Venetian dishes included? Of course!
It's fun to have a project!
And like everything else I draw, it lives in one of my many journals.
A digital copy went to Berlin, where Iris is now married to my son.
The illegal trade in wildlife excluding timber and fisheries has been estimated by different sources to be worth 7–23 billion dollars annually, involving a wide range of species including insects, reptiles, amphibians, fish and mammals. It concerns both live and dead specimens or products thereof. Illegal harvest and trade further includes a range of species from iconic ones like gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans, elephants, tigers, rhinos, Chiru antelopes and bears to corals, birds, pangolins,reptiles and sturgeon for black caviar. Approximately 94% of rhino poaching takes place in Zimbabwe and South Africa, which have by far the largest remaining populations, and has increased dramatically from possibly less than 50 in 2007 to over 1,000 rhinos poached in 2013, involving organized crime. Population size of black and white rhinos was ca. 4,800 and 20,000 in 2010 respectively, with Asian one-horned rhinos numbering ca. 3,600 individuals. Rhinos have disappeared entirely from several Asian and African countries in recent years, although overall numbers of rhino in Africa have been increasing.

Marshall Springs is where I start. The Hill of Death is located just by the 1 in the circle on the left side of the map. Those little lines indicate a steep section in the trail. They don't lie.

When we visited to Cirebon Palace, the guards over there let us enter the palace. Because they thought we were from Japan. But I have explained to them that I was Indonesian, and then they said you were looks like Japanese and same with Japanese ( I have no idea why they didn't think I'm Chinese ). So here we go, they allowed me to enter inside palace and suddenly we also met the Sultan although we didn't spoke to him. From inside Palace we found some treasure which according to the guard or guide this item only shows to the VIP - Government or other state guests.
Above map is one of my favorite collection from this palace stuff which is Indonesian Map from VOC Colonial time. VOC ( Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie, VOC, "United East India Company" ) established in 1602. And it's Original Map of Indonesia region from that time or era. The islands and asia continent still not in proper form as we seen on today map. What a treasure and precious heritage from the Cirebon Palace !
