Highland Council is to submit a detailed planning application tomorrow for the new Torvean Golf Course, as part of its project plans for enhanced sports facilities in the city, made possible with the building of the Inverness West Link.
The planning application in principle for the Torvean Golf Course, Sports Hub & Parkland Application was granted on the 14th April 2014.
The project delivery is conditional on the Council obtaining the statutory consents to build the Inverness West Link road and funding being approved by The Council at its meeting in March 2015.
The construction of the West Link requires a reconfiguration of the Golf Course and an estimated investment of £1.3 million is the minimum required to relocate the golf holes to enable the building of the road.
Additional enhancements to the golf course have been developed as part of the proposals, in a greater ambition for the City of Inverness, thus enabling further economic development in the area.
The proposals include:
Locating the new 18 hole golf course in one contained area of land
A Practice area that allows for the Club to expand it to SGU Development Standard status
A new Clubhouse, which will accommodate a Junior Room;
New Maintenance buildings
An access road to service the Clubhouse and Maintenance building.
As highlighted in the approved Torvean and Ness-side Development Brief, this relocation of the golf course will also release residual existing golf course land to the East of General Booth Road to enable the development of a sports hub. Land to the South of the A82 will be freed up for informal public open space and a mixed use development adjacent to the canal at this important gateway to Inverness and discussions are ongoing with Scottish Canals to consider opportunities and bring these forward.
The expanded golf project is estimated to cost an additional £7.41 million (December 14) and could see a start of works in 2016.
The Council has been working on the proposals involving a range of partners and officers were invited by the Scottish Golf Union to attend a meeting at Torvean Golf Club on 20 January 2015 to present the proposals for the new golf course and associated infrastructure.
Hamish Spence, President of Torvean Golf Club said: "Torvean Golf Club have, for the past two years, been working closely with the Council on this project. We are delighted that it is now taking a major step towards fruition. As well as the obvious benefits to our members, the new clubhouse and course will be a major improvement to the existing sporting facilities available to the local community and will provide a massive boost to tourism in the city of Inverness and the wider Highland area.”
Councillor Thomas Prag, Chair of the Development and Infrastructure Committee welcomed the news of the proposals reaching planning application stage. He said: “I am delighted with the progress we are making across a number of fronts associated with the Inverness West Link and the associated sports and leisure projects. The plans are ambitious and will deliver substantial long term assets to the city.”
Leader of The Highland Council, Councillor Drew Hendry added: “The delivery of the West Link is a key commitment in the Council’s Programme and will greatly improve our infrastructure, linking communities, reducing congestion in the city and supporting economic development.”
The planning process for the enhanced sports facilities will include a public display of the Canal Parks Rugby Club proposals at the Inverness Aquadome on Tuesday 27th January 2015 from 10am until 8pm.
Students will have enhanced access to online learning opportunities thanks to a new partnership between the university and Quizam Media Corporation. Dr. Rosetta Khalideen, UFV’s Dean of Professional Studies, and Dr. Frank Ulbrich, Director of the School of Business, joined Russ Rossi, President & CEO of Quizam Media Corporation, to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on behalf of their respective organizations on April 2.
The partnership formalizes a path for developing UFV’s project plan to access and customize ontrackTV content for labs, self-paced learning, and other purposes related to UFV credit and non-credit courses. The goal is for UFV to work with ontrackTV to help meet UFV’s strategic plan goals for online delivery.

Most builders focus on building new homes, so renovating is typically a part-time activity for such tradespeople. The processes and services required for renovations are quite specific and, once plans are signed off, building a new home is relatively predictable. Renovations usually require all of the sub-trades that are needed for the construction of a new building. During renovation projects, flexibility is often required from renovation companies to respond to unexpected issues that arise. Projects involving renovation require not just flexibility, but a plan that had been agreed upon by multiple parties. The planning process will involve feedback from financial investors of the project, and from the designer. Part of planning will also entail the collection of data for the completion of the project and then the project plan will be revised and given consent before continuing with renovations.

Engineers from Fredericksburg based Company A, 116th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 116th IBCT train with engineers from Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 37th Engineer Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division at Fort A.P. Hill, Va. March 6-7, 2015. The training is part of the Army's Total Force Partnership Program that is designed to promote informal leader development and pushes the units to find shared training opportunities and trade lessons learned. Engineers worked side by side on projects for Fort A.P. Hill building trenches and improving roads. 37th Engineer Battalion engineers were able to sign equipment from the Fredericksburg unit to get additional operating time. In exchange, 116th engineers gained valuable training time and experience because the equipment was already onsite and project planning was completed.(National Guard photos by Maj.

Artwork by Sarm Derbois, on show at the end of year in City & Guilds of London Art School
The Art School’s Architectural Heritage
City & Guilds of London Art School occupies nos. 114-124 Kennington Park Road, a terrace of late 18th century houses, and 19th and 20th century studios built over the gardens behind. The terrace is Grade II listed and stands in the Kennington Conservation Area. The Art School has been on this site since 1879.
The houses at nos. 114-124 Kennington Park Road were built in 1788, as part of the first wave of urbanisation in this area. They were designed as one half of a gateway development to a planned grand square by the builder Michael Searles. The projected plans were never fully realised, and the development of the square was carried out on a much-reduced scale, becoming what is now Cleaver Square. Although originally designed as a middle-class street, the growth of London in the Victorian era and the flight of prosperous families to suburbs such as Clapham and Brixton led to a decline in the area. While the 19th-century occupants of the Georgian houses are unknown, it seems quite possible that they were lower middle or working class.
In 1879, the South London Technical Art College (City & Guilds of London Art School since 1937) moved into nos. 122-124. Its predecessor, the Lambeth School of Art, had been founded nearby specifically to be close to the Doulton potteries, in order to provide art education to local workers (and mainly women). The first studio sheds, located behind nos. 122-124, were built shortly after 1879. These structures, shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1894, had timber truss roofs. Later on, between 1918 and 1939, the Art School expanded into nos. 118-120, and new studios with steel frame trusses were constructed in the gardens behind. No. 116 Kennington Park Road was purchased by the Art School in 1974, while the final property of the six, no. 114, was acquired in the late 1980s, allowing the stone yard area to be developed.
21st-Century Developments
Since 2010, the Art School has embarked on an ambitious programme of renovations and enhancements on its Kennington site. The Masterplan for the project, established under the direction of Alan Higgs Architects, is based on a three-phase delivery:
Phase 1 (2010-2014)
Completed over five consecutive summers, Phase 1 consisted of the renovation and upgrade of the six terrace buildings, including refurbishing some 35 studios, creating the expanded Sackler Library, and improving circulation throughout. In 2012, the Foundation Department relocated to the adjacent 1930s Old Vauxhall Telephone Exchange building.
Phase 2 (2015-2016)
This phase involves the creation of a new entrance for the Art School by inserting a glazed steel canopy structure forming an atrium in the space between the Georgian terrace and the studio buildings. Following ground level works in 2015, summer of 2016 saw continued developments with the installation of the new roof structure.
Phase 3
The final phase will focus on a partial re-development and refurbishment of the studio buildings at the rear of the site, which increase the work spaces for creative practice while protecting the special character and the legacy embodied in its buildings.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District began a remedial investigation and feasibility study July 13 at the former Sahuarita Air Force Range in Pima County, Arizona.
SAFR is a Formerly Used Defense Site of approximately 27,000 acres. Airmen from Davis-Monthan in Tucson used the site from 1943 to 1958 for bombing and gunnery training.
This RI/FS will investigate more than 10,000 acres using digital geophysical mapping.
"DGM is being used to characterize the nature and extent of munitions of explosive concern at the site," said Kyle Lindsay, a geophysicist from the Sacramento District. "DGM locates anomalies resulting from metal in the subsurface. These anomalies are then excavated to determine what they are, and the information is then used to define concentrated target areas which help determine an appropriate remedial action."
To calibrate the DGM equipment, three site survey control points were established for the area.
"A number of quality control tests are run at the beginning of each day to ensure the geophysical instrument is functioning properly," added Lindsay. "Additionally, data is collected over an area with known objects buried at known depths and locations to verify GPS accuracy and instrument readings."
In addition to the harsh desert terrain, some of the munitions used were quite small.
"The smaller an object is, the more difficult it is to accurately detect in the subsurface," said Lindsay. "There were some very small munitions potentially used at SAFR which presents an interesting challenge for DGM."
The District is working with the State of Arizona Department of Environmental Quality Federal Projects Team as a regulatory partner for the project.
"ADEQ's role is to provide oversight of the project and to ensure that all State and Federal regulatory requirements are properly followed and met," said Sara Benovic, ADEQ project manager. "We will coordinate with the Corps and all stakeholders to discuss the project by participating in Technical Project Planning meetings, teleconferences, site visits and emails."
The RI/FS will run through May 2018, with a final report due in August 2019.
"ADEQ appreciates being a part of this project and looks forward to working with the Corps, as well as stakeholders such as Arizona State Land Department and the City of Tucson," added Benovic. "Our mission is to protect and enhance human health and the environment."

It was a reeeeally long day. (Thursday, I'm beginning to kind of not like you.) I finally escaped work around 6, and was annoyed that I still had to stop at Target, especially after being there two days ago. But I suffered through it and rewarded myself by lingering again in the tinsel-overload aisle. And yes, I did spend $8 on a gigantic red tinsel wreath. It both allows me to abandon my plans to make a wreath for the inside of our front door (that we stare at from the couch every day anyway) and HELLO pretty shiny December cheery times. I can't wait until Dan gets home and sees it.
It is time to escalate at FERC. Beyond Extreme Energy (BXE) and Sane Energy Project planned three days of sharing/training, art-building and action from June 23-25. June 23rd was the last of 40 days in the DC national action being organized by the Poor People’s Campaign around the country. Following the demonstration we gathered in the late afternoon for a time of sharing, art-building and getting prepared for action at FERC and elsewhere the morning of Monday, June 25th. We spent all-day Sunday continuing that preparation and community-building. (Photo by Erik McGregor)
Highland Council is to submit a detailed planning application tomorrow for the new Torvean Golf Course, as part of its project plans for enhanced sports facilities in the city, made possible with the building of the Inverness West Link.
The planning application in principle for the Torvean Golf Course, Sports Hub & Parkland Application was granted on the 14th April 2014.
The project delivery is conditional on the Council obtaining the statutory consents to build the Inverness West Link road and funding being approved by The Council at its meeting in March 2015.
The construction of the West Link requires a reconfiguration of the Golf Course and an estimated investment of £1.3 million is the minimum required to relocate the golf holes to enable the building of the road.
Additional enhancements to the golf course have been developed as part of the proposals, in a greater ambition for the City of Inverness, thus enabling further economic development in the area.
The proposals include:
Locating the new 18 hole golf course in one contained area of land
A Practice area that allows for the Club to expand it to SGU Development Standard status
A new Clubhouse, which will accommodate a Junior Room;
New Maintenance buildings
An access road to service the Clubhouse and Maintenance building.
As highlighted in the approved Torvean and Ness-side Development Brief, this relocation of the golf course will also release residual existing golf course land to the East of General Booth Road to enable the development of a sports hub. Land to the South of the A82 will be freed up for informal public open space and a mixed use development adjacent to the canal at this important gateway to Inverness and discussions are ongoing with Scottish Canals to consider opportunities and bring these forward.
The expanded golf project is estimated to cost an additional £7.41 million (December 14) and could see a start of works in 2016.
The Council has been working on the proposals involving a range of partners and officers were invited by the Scottish Golf Union to attend a meeting at Torvean Golf Club on 20 January 2015 to present the proposals for the new golf course and associated infrastructure.
Hamish Spence, President of Torvean Golf Club said: "Torvean Golf Club have, for the past two years, been working closely with the Council on this project. We are delighted that it is now taking a major step towards fruition. As well as the obvious benefits to our members, the new clubhouse and course will be a major improvement to the existing sporting facilities available to the local community and will provide a massive boost to tourism in the city of Inverness and the wider Highland area.”
Councillor Thomas Prag, Chair of the Development and Infrastructure Committee welcomed the news of the proposals reaching planning application stage. He said: “I am delighted with the progress we are making across a number of fronts associated with the Inverness West Link and the associated sports and leisure projects. The plans are ambitious and will deliver substantial long term assets to the city.”
Leader of The Highland Council, Councillor Drew Hendry added: “The delivery of the West Link is a key commitment in the Council’s Programme and will greatly improve our infrastructure, linking communities, reducing congestion in the city and supporting economic development.”
The planning process for the enhanced sports facilities will include a public display of the Canal Parks Rugby Club proposals at the Inverness Aquadome on Tuesday 27th January 2015 from 10am until 8pm.

Nature Bridges is a leading bridge company that specializes in top down construction of timber bridges and pedestrian boardwalks through environmentally sensitive areas. Through the use of lightweight hydraulic impact and material handling equipment in combination with hand driven auger machines, our top down construction method means the only things that touch the ground are workmen. The only things left behind are footprints and your new bridge.
As one of the nation's leading bridge builders, we also construct a wide variety of other development amenities, such as golf cart bridges, free span bridges, architecturally designed trellises, fencing, pavilions, decks and docks. Other amenities you may consider are our timber curbing and guardrails for vehicular bridges, roadside walkways, and timber retaining walls for those projects that require the warmth of wood in lieu of concrete and steel.

We require continuing education for our project foremen, bringing the knowledge of the testing laboratory and the field together to continually improve our building techniques.

Gerald also worked for MU’s Campus Facilities Design Services group as the ADA Project Manager and Architect with a focus on bringing the campus into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. This process included extensive research of the ADA, the physical survey of all educational, administrative and general facilities campus wide, accessibility design and/or management of over 900 projects at over 100 facilities with a budget of over 10 million dollars.
Prior to his current position, Gerald was employed by the Department of the Army Directorate of Public Works at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. There, he served as the Historic Properties Manager in charge of the design, maintenance and construction work on over 100 buildings, structures and sites that are listed on the National Register and make up the Fort Leavenworth National Historic Landmark District. Gerald assisted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Construction Engineering Research Laboratory and the Georgia Tech University Center for Architectural Conservation in the development of the Preservation Technology Source Book and Standardized Specifications for Historic Facilities. Additionally, he was selected to be a member of the Department of Army’s Historic Facilities Maintenance Management Advisory Group in Atlanta, GA. and a consultant on the Building Preservation and Maintenance Plan for historic family quarters at Fort Myer, Fort McNair and Fort Belvoir in Washington, D.C.
Gerald has presented ADA & Universal Design related educational seminars regionally and nationally in recent years, including presentations at the L.A. Design Week – NeoCon West conference in Los Angeles, CA, NeoCon World’s Trade Fair/National Buildings Show in Chicago, IL, NeoCon East in Baltimore, MD, APPA Institute for Facilities Management in San Jose, CA and Reno, NV, Association of Higher Education Facilities Officers Annual Conference in Orlando, FL and the American Institute of Architects Universal Accessibility Conference in Washington, D.C.
Gerald was part of a 60 person team of design and construction professionals that the State deployed to Joplin a few days after the May 22, 2011 tornado to evaluate the structural integrity and safety of over 5,000 damaged homes, buildings and structures. Functioning as deputy building inspectors and reporting to City of Joplin building officials, teams of 2 - 3 SAVE (Structural Assessment & Visual Evaluation) Coalition members worked quickly to evaluate buildings and post signs on each structure warning of any dangerous structural conditions that may exist. The main goal was to keep the owners and occupants of those buildings safe during the aftermath of this tragedy.
In addition to the EMHE volunteer work that Gerald will undertake in the near future, he has previously volunteered design and construction services to a Habitat for Humanity build and a Homes For Our Troops build in Columbia, MO and provided design and construction management of a new playground for the St. Brendan Church & School in Mexico, MO.
Engineers from Fredericksburg based Company A, 116th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 116th IBCT train with engineers from Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 37th Engineer Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division at Fort A.P. Hill, Va. March 6-7, 2015. The training is part of the Army's Total Force Partnership Program that is designed to promote informal leader development and pushes the units to find shared training opportunities and trade lessons learned. Engineers worked side by side on projects for Fort A.P. Hill building trenches and improving roads. 37th Engineer Battalion engineers were able to sign equipment from the Fredericksburg unit to get additional operating time. In exchange, 116th engineers gained valuable training time and experience because the equipment was already onsite and project planning was completed.(National Guard photos by Maj.

As part of the 'Learning by Playing' project, Plan and HSBC have created school play-centres in eight of the most poorly funded schools in El Salvador. These centres are designed to promote a culture of peaceful coexistence and learning for children aged between six and 16 years old.
Each play-centre is equipped with games, toys, sports equipment and learning resources that encourage participatory play among children. The children can also join 'ludo clubs', which promote traditional games and group sports.
