Pennant Hills Rd traffic set to get thousands more trucks to build a tunnel to take trucks off the road

THE Roads and Maritime Service has said 70 trucks an hour carting concrete from the Mount Kuring-Gai industrial area to the NorthConnex tunnels via Pennant Hills Rd next year will “not add to traffic congestion”.
The slow rumble of 70,000 transit mixer truck will start to build around Hornsby later this month and reach a maximum hourly rate of 35 trucks going each way to and from the plant to the various project sites along Pennant Hills Rd.
A commercial concrete batching plant has been built at the Hornsby Council waste management depot on Beaumont Rd, to provide fresh concrete for the 9km twin tunnel motorway project.
NorthConnex will use about 160,000 cubic metres of concrete for structural elements and 200,000 cubic metres of concrete to line the tunnel.
A recent traffic study “indicated no additional queuing or delays” are expected at traffic lights along the concrete haul route as a result of the project, an RMS spokeswoman said.

“Deliveries will be made using approved routes including the M1 Motorway and Pennant Hills Rd during standard work hours,” she said. “No local residential roads will be used.”
The average number of trucks headed west on Pennant Hills Rd (east of Beecroft Rd) each hour is about 250, RMS data shows.
Concrete delivery is scheduled to start at the end of October and will peak in late 2017 with up to 70 truck movements per hour (in and out).
There are about 70,000 to 75,000 truck movements expected with the plant operating 24/7 until the end of the project in 2019.
Trucks hauling spoil to fill Hornsby Quarry will also use the M1 Pacific Motorway but George St and Bridge Rd will be used during off peak hours to minimise congestion, the RMS spokeswoman said. During peak hours the “preferred route” for Quarry trucks will be Bridge Rd, Jersey St North and Windybanks Rd.
Hornsby Mayor Steve Russell acknowledges it may inconvenience people.
“It’s a legitimate concern and I understand that but we have to go through some disruption for the massive gain of NorthConnex,” Mr Russell said.
Hornsby Council leased their land for the plant to NorthConnex for $187,500 per year, for three years, plus a three per cent annual increase.
“It’s income for the ratepayers of Hornsby,” Mr Russell said. “We’ve done a pretty good deal there, that land was just sitting there.”
The site will be remediated and become a waste facility once the project is finished, he said.
The site is close to sand and gravel sources at Peats Ridge and that reduces traffic haulage and the delivery of raw materials through Sydney, a NorthConnex notice said.
“Once tunnel breakthrough occurs, some concrete trucks will be able to access the tunnel through the Northern Interchange,” the note said.
The site will house the concrete plant, office facilities, material storage, wash down area, storage silos and concrete testing facilities.
The plant was approved by the Department of Planning and Environment.

Haomei environment-friendly plant by sealing of dust control

Haomei environment-friendly plant dust control through a closed, traditional dust, sewage, solid waste, noise is a common tradition of mixing station 4 big pollution. Just so, concrete production industry as an important supporting national infrastructure industries, was not welcomed by the urban planning and public, environmentally friendly plant from all aspects of the production system to control pollution.

Haomei environment-friendly concrete batch plants for sale by sealing of dust control:
1, mixing the main packaging fully enclosed design
Subject should use environment-friendly concrete mixing station second floor closed packaging and above should use angle iron to build a skeleton model of concrete mixing station, then sandwiched colour steel plate is used to close the packaging building framework as a whole, through the fully enclosed design and effective control of dust into the air in the main building of the concrete mixing equipment effluent.
2, bone yard fully enclosed design
Under the influence of factors such as construction cost and construction concept, gravel is often used in concrete mixing process without an effective washing, its high dust content, storage, transport, stacking, and spading and loader process is easy to produce, such as dust, sand, especially mechanisms of abrasive dust content higher. Yard in order to reduce the aggregate level of dust pollution to the environment, environmentally-friendly process design of concrete mixing station closed aggregate yard-wide programmes should be adopted, namely: material overall load-bearing frame steel structures should be adopted, its overall strength better, larger interior space, better light, non-load-bearing walls you can use color plates, Hollow bricks masonry and into. Aggregate within the yard arrangement of automatic water-spraying device, this inhibitory effect on aggregate internal dust has played better.
3, aggregate dosing and feeding links fully enclosed design
Aggregate dosing and feeding, such as links, generate a lot of dust and dust. So, in environmental type concrete mixing station optimization design process in the, regardless of is used belt machine also is used upgrade machine for aggregate conveying Shang material Shi, should be design fulfill closed structure, that on ingredients station and conveying Shang material system for full closed design, used steel built ingredients station and conveying Shang material system skeleton, used color plate for full closed outside packaging, effective reduced aggregate ingredients, and Shang material, conveying link foreign relief to environment in the of dust content, will dust pollution reduced to minimum.
4 dust, powder silo design
Should be on the top positions of the cement silo dedusting design forced dust removal machine, this can improve the integrated dust removal efficiency of the filter, increased dust filter area; the other hand considering water content of powder dust in the silo are generally low, filter should be optimized spaces smaller filter, filter design folds into cylindrical structures, which can further increase the space dust in the filter area. Vibration mode should be used to shake off dust on the filter, gas mode pulse can also use compressed air to blow off dust on the filter, ensure that the filter has good results.

WA Limestone concrete plant fight continues in Bayswater

THE fight against the proposed concrete batching plant at 277-279 Collier Road continues for the City of Bayswater and its residents.
Bayswater councillors rejected WA Limestone’s original application in 2011 after strong opposition from residents with concerns about noise, heavy vehicle traffic, proximity to homes and health risks from pollution.
Since then the matter has gone back and forth between the council and the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT), with amended plans submitted to the council for its August meeting.
The council unanimously voted to defer consideration of the proposed amendments until concerns – including environmental matters raised by the City’s environmental consultant and the buffer around the plant – had been addressed.
Jamie Petrovic, who worked in the concrete industry for 14 years, is one of the residents opposed to the mobile batching plant.
“Because the SAT is involved, anything could happen,” he said.
“If the SAT let this go through it’s going to be an environmental disaster. The buffer zone is meant to be a 300m radius, but there are companies right next door.”
Resident and former councillor Sally Palmer said it was an absolute dilemma to think that parcel of land could be used for dust and dirt.
“There’s no such thing as a clean concrete batching plant,” she said.
“They should never have it so close to the buffer zone of that location, it is absolutely criminal.
“The buffer zone should be a minimum of 500m and even if it was a minimum of 300m, it’s still not enough.”
According to the council agenda, if rejected it could cost the City and its residents up to $140,000 to legally defend council’s decision.
Councillor Terry Kenyon said despite the city being threatened with costs by the SAT, the council was “110 per cent” behind the residents’ fight against this plant.
On September 2, Cr Chris Cornish posted on Facebook that he had spent three hours at an SAT mediation meeting on the proposed concrete asphalt mixing plant.
“Thoroughly boring, but at least I was able to put forward the concerns of the residents who live around the site,” he said.
“This will either come back to council for reconsideration or progress to a SAT hearing where SAT will have the ultimate say – not the community and not the council.”
