WEDNESDAY 12TH OCTOBER - Jamie Hughes is helping to develop the AmphiMax™ beach launch and recovery vehicle for Bluebird Marine. He is wiring up the tracked units for the development model this Sunday 16th Oct, having sourced suitable battery packs and connectors for the robotics exercise. He explains that it was nice to see some of the interesting exhibits, including this large articulated earth mover, by way of getting a feel for the subject. Copyright © photograph 12 October 2016.

12 - 13 OCTOBER 2016

The Marine & Coastal Civil Engineering Expo 2016 is the UK's leading event in presenting global solutions and innovative concepts to professionals working in hard engineering, coastal and river management, subsea engineering and flood risk authorities.

For the SeaVax crew this was an exhibition that was more like a shop for parts for the AmphiMax™ beach launch and recovery vehicle, that being amphibious is also a vessel. Three members of the team plied the halls looking for ideas and manufacturers of parts that may be useful to the project. One supplier was the GGR Group who are a lifting solution supplier of cranes. We need a crane to position the frame bogies and frame components of the AmphiMax and shortly after this the SeaVax hull components.

UNIC GROUP SALES & HIRE - A larger tracked version of this machine could solve our lifting problems in assembly of the AmphiMax and SeaVax vehicles. Copyright © photograph 12 October 2016.

One speaker who caught our attention was Emma Cunningham. Her talk on the work of the Marine Conservation Society gave those in attendance an insight into the practicalities of plastic collection from beaches and what to do with afterwards. Emma had not heard of SeaVax™ but echoed the concerns of Bluebird Marine in a very interesting talk that gave the audience some facts about this important work. We could not agree more. The MCS has agreed to help us by supplying data obtained from their beach collection exploits for our research, for which we are extremely grateful.

MARINE CONSERVATION SOCIETY - Chris Close with Emma Cunningham at the event on Wednesday. Emma gave a superb talk about the efforts of the Marine Conservation Society to coordinate beach cleaning events and most importantly of all, to record that data so that meaningful efforts to cooperate with other organizations would give force to both national and international work to curb ocean plastic waste.

GIANT DUMPER TRUCK - An articulated dump truck has a hinge between the cab and the dump box, but is distinct from semi trailer trucks in that the cab is a permanent fixture, not a separable vehicle. Steering is accomplished via hydraulic rams that pivot the entire cab, rather than rack and pinion steering on the front axle. This vehicle is highly adaptable to rough terrain.

EARTH MOVING EQUIPMENT - Some properties on our coats have been allowed to fall into the sea, such as the Coastguard Cottages at Birling Gap (following a ferocious legal battle), but in general the Environment Agency battles coastal drift by moving shingle and rocks around using popular earth moving equipment such as that seen above: BELL, CAT, JCB, HITACHI, KOMATSU, VOLVO.

ROYAL DOCKS

The Royal Docks comprise three docks in east London - the Royal Albert Dock, the Royal Victoria Dock and the King George V Dock. They are more correctly called the Royal Group of Docks to distinguish them from the Royal Dockyards, Royal being due to their naming after royal personages rather than Crown ownership. The three docks collectively formed the largest enclosed docks in the world, with a water area of nearly 250 acres (1.0 km2) and an overall estate of 1,100 acres (4.5 km2). This is equivalent to the whole of central London from Hyde Park to Tower Bridge. The area was designated a special enterprise zone in 2012.

The three docks were completed between 1855 and 1921 on riverside marshes in East Ham and West Ham (now the London Borough of Newham). The Victoria and Albert docks were constructed by the London & St Katharine Docks Company, to provide berths for large vessels that could not be accommodated further upriver. They were a great commercial success, becoming London's principal docks during the first half of the 20th century. They specialized particularly in the import and unloading of foodstuffs, with rows of giant granaries and refrigerated warehouses being sited alongside the quays.

The docks' great size and provision of numerous finger quays gave them a collective span of over 12 miles (19.3 km) of quaysides, serving hundreds of cargo and passenger ships at a time. Following the opening of the Royal Albert Dock in 1880, giving the Royals access to Gallions Reach, 11 miles (17.7 km) below London Bridge, the rival East & West India Docks Company responded with the construction of Tilbury Docks even further down river. The ruinous competition led eventually to all the enclosed docks being taken over by the Port of London Authority (PLA) in 1909. The PLA completed the King George V Dock in 1921 and reserved land to the north for a fourth dock, never built.

INNOVATION - This amazing autonomous boat was on display at the Old Billingsgate exhibition centre in London on the 9-10th of November 2015. This proof of concept model is only 2.2 metres long. The full size vessel is 44 metres long (144feet) with a suction head some 13.5 metres wide (44 feet) - making it the world's largest vacuum cleaner when it is launched, hopefully on the south coast of England in 2017-18. The SeaVax is ideal for river and coastal cleaning duties, and it's solar and wind powered, so does not add to climate change. A solar boat called PlanetSolar first circumnavigated the globe on the 4th of May of 2012. Members of our team will be attending this event to network with other like minded organisations and see the latest technology.

CATERPILLAR TRACKS - Chris examines the rubber tracks of this flood support work vehicle. Bluebird Marine is looking for eight bogies that can support ten tons each for the AmphiMax™ beach launch and recovery vehicle. The AmphiMax will be the largest amphibious vehicle in the world when it hits the water and is likely to enter the Guinness Book of Records. Copyright © photograph 12 October 2016.

OIL SPILLS - Chris looks at this possible solution to increasing the yield of oil recovered from a spill with a suitably modified SeaVax™. Copyright © photograph 12 October 2016. You will need the permission of Bluebird Marine Systems Ltd to be able to use this picture except for private research and educational purposes.

The SeaHow™ was another interesting oil recovery solution that caught the attention of the SeaVax™ team. This polymer bristle collector could increase the recovery percentage of oil from seawater in any spill and is something that Bluebird Marine will be exploring with this company in the coming months.

SCULPTURE - Marking the entrance steps to London Excel, is this superb bronze depiction of life on the docks in yesteryear.

ExCeL London, the international exhibition and convention centre, is the host venue for a variety of events from award winning exhibitions and conferences to international association meetings, product launches, banquets, award ceremonies, sporting events and more. ExCeL London is the UK capital's largest exhibition centre.

London is the natural meeting point for the world’s business networks. It is a leading city in the world’s economy and a centre of international trade and finance. Located in the London Borough of Newham, this exhibitions and conference centre is an excellent venue in England.

Lying adjacent to Canary Wharf, ExCeL London is the latest cultural quarter which possesses every facility that an event demands. Accommodating thousands of visitors in its huge event halls, state of the art conference suites and 45 meeting rooms, this multifaceted event venue is often preferred for flexible selection of space.

ExCeL London is owned by Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (ADNEC). Its portfolio also includes the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre and the Al Ain Convention Centre.

TRANSPORT - Working in civil engineering requires a vehicle that can go anywhere. This is our Jeep. We will need something with a lot of grunt to launch the SeaVax, if there is a manufacturer out there who might be able to supply us with a support vehicle.
