Bassendean residents up in arms about concrete batching plant approval

SEVERAL Town of Bassendean residents are calling for the Town to appeal the State Administrative Tribunal’s approval of a concrete batching plant just 1km from another proposed plant in Bayswater.
The application for a mobile concrete batching plant on Clune Street was approved by SAT on December 5, subject to several conditions because the Town’s lawyers failed to give reasons for their refusal in June.

According to a Facebook post written by Councillor Renée McLennan, the Town’s staff and applicants Rowe Group debated about the appropriate conditions, which included the hours of operation, maximum daily production and average daily production output.
Cr McLennan said the application was taken out of the Council’s hands.
SAT would not consider a higher production as the applicant had not provided supporting information for its location within the 300m-500m buffer zone.
Bassendean resident Carol Siedel said the Council should consider contesting the SAT decision.
“I just do not think SAT has looked at the ramifications on the people who will be exposed to possible concrete dust,” she said.
“What really annoys me is that young children will be put at risk, they are the ones who could have their whole lives wrecked because of this approval for a asphalt concrete batching plant on their door step.
“I am absolutely horrified by this decision when there is real health and environmental concerns for the residents who live near by, students at Cyril Jackson campus and the people who work in the industrial area in Tonkin Park.”
Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives Asia Pacific pollution prevention programme coordinator Jane Bremmer said the plant would have adverse health impacts on communities and their environment.
“Concrete batching plants are simply incompatible land uses to be sited close to residential areas…and could hardly be considered a legitimate partner of any eco industrial village,” the Bassendean resident said.
Ashfield resident Warren Wright said he was “completely perplexed” by how the WA Environmental Protection Authority guidelines had been ignored.
“There are residential houses within the supposedly required buffer zone of 300m-500m… if the Town of Bassendean don’t appeal this decision then they have failed the people of Ashfield,” he said.
In September, Town development manager Brian Reed said a refusal would not be “sustainable” because going against the SAT appeal would cost the Town $10,000-$50,000 in legal fees.

Cellular Concrete Market - Global Industry Analysis 2024

The building and construction industry is constantly looking for stronger and lighter materials that are resistant to harsh weather conditions. Cellular concrete meets these needs on account of being a cement-based construction material that is lightweight, fire resistant, and structurally robust. It is also sometimes referred to as foam concrete or foamcrete. Cellular concrete derives its lightness from the many tiny and evenly distributed gas bubbles. It is produced by mixing cement (or sand or fly ash in some cases), water, and a foaming agent. The slurry thus produced is then blended further in a concrete concrete plant equipment for sell by adding a synthetic aerated foam. It is imperative that the foaming agent used in cellular concrete produces bubbles that are high on the stability quotient so that they are able to endure the mixing and hardening processes and all of the physical and chemical changes that occur during the same.
Cellular concrete is usually poured into molds for it to harden. It is also sometimes pumped directly into structural elements depending on the need of the project. The material may be left to naturally solidify (which takes about 24 hours) or may be cured using steam at temperatures of up to 70 degrees centigrade for faster hardening. Suppliers typically produce cellular concrete in densities between 250 kg/m³ and 1600 kg/m³ in terms of volume weight.
The cellular concrete market is a dynamic; it is characterized by the pressing need for product innovation owing primarily to the fact that product differentiation is low. The high degree of competition, especially at the domestic level, has spurred product innovation and new launches in the market. The report on the cellular concrete market provides market size and forecast for the period ranging from 2016 to 2024. Porter’s five forces analysis is also included in the study to gauge the future bargaining power of consumers, manufacturers, suppliers, and the threat from substitutes.
Global Cellular Concrete Market: Key Trends and Opportunities
Growth and performance of the cellular concrete market is directly proportional to the state of the building and construction. Increasing degree of urbanization in growth economies in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East is boosting the demand for cellular concrete, as it is used in both new constructions and maintenance and rebuilds. The resurgence of the construction sector post the global economic slowdown of 2008 has helped the global cellular Containerized concrete batching plant market gain momentum.
Owing to its superior insulation properties and affordable pricing, companies in the building and construction industry are more willing to replace conventional concrete with cellular concrete. Cellular concrete is expected to be used in large volume in road construction projects, as the material can withstand harsh weather conditions.

Companies in the global cellular concrete market would be challenged by the availability of substitute materials that offer many of the features of cellular concrete. Products that pose the highest threat to cellular concrete include gravel and autoclaved sand bricks.
Global Cellular Concrete Market: Region-wise Outlook
In terms of geography, the global cellular concrete market is dominated by Asia Pacific. In countries such as India and China, where urbanization is occurring at breakneck speed, the demand for low-cost, structurally sound, and lightweight construction materials is high. Europe is yet another viable region for companies looking to invest in the cellular concrete market, as smaller European countries are expanding their infrastructure.
Dominant global players in the cellular concrete market include Cellular Concrete Technologies, Saint Gobain, Cellucrete, Laston Italiana S.P.A, Shirke, and ACICO.

Tuscaloosa NAACP seeking to move cement plant away from school zone

The Tuscaloosa chapter of the  NAACP is raising concerns about a city cement plant that is located near a school.
NAACP director Jerry Carter tells CBS 42 that Ready Mix USA is too close to Central Elementary School. The plant is right across from the school off of 15th Street. Dozens of cement mixing truck pull in and out of the plant everyday causing lots of dust on the road.
Carter was approached by a private citizen who had concerns about the dust particles and chemicals used and the potential impact it could have on the students’ health.
“Over here, it just seems like anything is allowed, and we can’t have a concrete batching plant right across the street from where we are trying to educate our kids,” Carter said. “They come outside and play, and there’s all that dust and stuff blowing all over the place, and the two just don’t go hand in hand together. We are talking about chemicals.”
The NAACP would like the plant to be relocated to an industrial park in the city or county.

“There are too many areas in town where we have industrial parks and areas that are set up for those types of businesses,” Carter said. “I would like to see the city or the county work something out, and help this company with a grant or an incentive to move them so they can relocate away from the school.”
This Thursday, the NAACP will host a community meeting at 5:00 p.m. at the McDonald Hughes Center to talk with concerned parents and students.
CBS 42 News reached out to the company Ready Mix USA for a comment. Communications specialist Megan Lawrence said:
Ready Mix USA strives to be a good neighbor. We do not believe there is an issue with dust leaving our site and are in compliance with all of our permits at the site. To avoid any potential issue, we are increasing the watering on roads on the site. As part of its good neighbor policy, Ready Mix USA is willing to meet with all groups interested in its operations
