This article describes the theories and practices of the German installation artists and composers Sabine Schäfer and Joachim Krebs. Much of their work concerns site-specific sound installations involving the articulation of time and space. Their principal work methods and materials are described. In addition, they have formulated a typology of five installation types which they describe using their own installations as examples. Each installation type responds to a particular set of aesthetic and practical challenges both for the artists and the visitors. These are discussed and illustrated i

Since mid-1999 I have been working on an expanded concept of musical space not only incorporating space according to its spatial characteristics in the narrow sense (acoustic, architectonic, sculptural, perspective and ambient). Beyond this my installation works conceive of space in its site-specificity, usually existing in several layers: a social layer, a historical-political layer and a situational layer. This concept of space is thus not limited to interior spaces and architectonic-formal relationships, a position which naturally also defines my working methods: only subjective, on-site re

Abstract:
This doctoral project combines a performance-led practice with contextual research in order to demonstrate how arts practice can challenge historical perceptions of clay and enhance its material status. The core knowledge deduced from this research is that embodied performance transforms connectivity between artist and clay and produces a unified incarnation of both elements. Through the use of immersive research methods I gained insights which could not have been predicted - particularly that my experiential performances were a process of ‘clay becoming’ in which I ultimately became the clay.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter explores the role of site-specific projections in the digital remediation of family and personal history and their role in memorial work and remembrance. The chapter refers primarily to the mixed-media performance/installation Bark and Butterflies by the author (palkadiaries.com). Drawing on the work of Marianna Hirsch, the chapter explicates the notion of post-memory, which complicates and extends family history through the idea of inherited traumatic memory. The concept is applied to Bark and Butterflies and accordingly the chapter offers a case study, amplified with theoretical reflections, on the role of projection in the creation of mixed-media memorial works and their dissemination. Bark and Butterflies was the artistic result of a research trip to Siberia following in the footsteps of an inherited wartime diary, which narrates the exile to the Gulag of the author’s father and grandfather. The chapter outlines and demonstrates the role of site-specific projections in a series of action-research performance interventions en route and examines the potential they offer for the visual interrogation and remediation of symbolic space. The chapter argues that site-specific projections produce a ‘phantasmagoric’ counter-world in which the experience of time and space becomes collapsed and that through this temporal and spatial overlap Bark and Butterflies enacts an immersive process of ‘self-sacralization’, using projections to re-enact paradigmatic devotional forms (Turner), in a type of secular ‘aesthetic redemption’ (Kristeva). In this case, the chapter concludes, the art of projection acts as a contemporary procedure within a personal ritual of pilgrimage and remembrance.

Abstract:
Generally, in order to build the initial substation for the wind turbines or any other renewable supply source, specific tasks are evaluated and subsequently allocated to the skilled personnel. The equipment installation varies tremendously as determined by the complexity of the work effort. Some electric utilities utilize a standard boilerplate for labor and cost whereas other entities rely on the most experienced planners and engineers to provide the most plausible estimates. However, the accuracy of the entire capital project cost estimates depends upon the process analysis data as an established baseline parameter. Once the major preliminary components (meteorology, public relations, electrical engineering studies, land issues, and civil engineering development) and pre-construction activities (negotiations with the wind turbine manufactures, contractor mobilization, and development of the environmental construction plan) are completed in a renewable energy capital project, the venture enters the execution phase. There are variations of the theme based on the grade conditions, remote locations, and the availability of assets. The resources at some locations may perform construction activities in sensitive areas where site-specific environmental procedures and/or best practices are strictly followed.

This chapter illustrates the diagram of critical performance or Benjaminian destruction that stresses singularity for each and every case. It reviews the performance of installation and montage, but above all the coimplication of each of limits and excesses. A coimplication that relaunches interruptions and destabilizations, disturbing homogeneity, totality, and position in the topical turbulence and systematic desistence from identity. The chapter also explains the performative tactility that releases virtualities in situ where the tensions between technological strata of performance will destroy the installations, distributions, and terminologies. It describes destructive performance that are arranged as blockages and specific apparatuses of mediation, work, containment, and capitalization.

Abstract:
LIFTOR is a human performance system that promotes the safe and efficient operation of industrial forklift trucks. The original installation occurred in 1985. In the ensuing 30 years, it was installed at 16 sites. In spite of meeting its design goals, not all of these installations have survived, but because the same problem existed, and the same system was used to solve it, we can attribute the failures to differences between the sites. Some sites were closed for reasons unrelated to LIFTOR. Others failed because of systemic conflicts, but most of them failed after specific events occurred, such as new managers, new budgeting or contracting policies, or loss of support from corporate headquarters. Most of them could have been prevented by relying less on a corporate champion, and more on good cost-effectiveness reporting, coupled with more systematic training and involvement of front-line managers.

Abstract:
The chapter provides a conversation between the three authors in which a number of Burgin's site-specific installations frame a consideration of the status and future of the camera from photography to moving image to computer-generated virtual works. In the process Burgin modifies Bazin's question 'What is cinema?' to ask 'What is a camera?'. The CGI projection works extend and develop Burgin's long-standing interest in the relationship of aesthetics and politics as rendered through visualisation technologies, especially as it pertains to space. Burgin's account constructs a genealogy of seeing, visualising and image-making as technologically determined and crafted. In brief, he explains that 'the history of the camera is inseparable from the history of perspective'.

Full text
Abstract:
Soil is the superficial layer of the land area of the Earth and contains weathered inorganic materials, organic matter, air, and water. The branch of soil science that studies the formation and classification of soils is termed pedology. For both scientific and technical purposes, soils around the world are organized into various categories on the basis of their differences and similarities. There are two types of soil classification schemes: (i) the scientific or pedological classification schemes which group soils on the basis of morphological, physical, chemical, and mineralogical properties as well as stage of weathering; and (ii) the technical or practical classification schemes which group soils based on selected properties for specific applications in agriculture and urban development, such as making a quick appraisal of soil fertility capability of farmlands or determining the suitability of septic tank installations of a housing development site. Soils are formed from the weathering of rocks and rock debris that have been eroded and transported by water, wind, ice, or gravity to other sites within the landscape. The soil, together with any underlying weathered debris and/or weathered bedrock, is termed regolith. The formation of soils from rock and minerals may take a long period of time, that is, thousands or millions of years. The pathways of soil formation are shown in fig. 7-1. The development of distinct characteristics of a soil profile or pedon involves physical, chemical, and biological weathering processes. The weathering process that involves the breakdown of rock and minerals by the action of water, pressure, heat, and freeze, into increasingly smaller fragments or particles is called physical weathering. The processes that involve hydrolysis, dissolution, and the formation of secondary minerals, such as clay-sized layer silicates and Fe and Al oxides, are called chemical weathering. The two important and interrelated chemical processes of tropical weathering are desilication and laterization. Desilication involves the dissolution of silicate minerals, and the subsequent leaching of dissolved silica from the soil profile by rain. The loss of silica from the soil eventually leads to the formation and accumulation of Fe and Al oxides in the soil, a weathering process known as laterization.

Full text
Abstract:
From lighting town centres to ephemeral one-off events, from nights of cultural activity to small festivals, from year-long programmes to biennials and triennials, artists are engaging in a wide variety of activities that support the idea of place- making. Emerging from the practices of interventionist art, community engage- ment and installation, through the processes and debates of public artists we are now experiencing new models of artistic intervention in the public realm. They are, quite literally, animating places. Alongside larger profile-building activities such as the European Cities/Capitals of Culture, the past 20 years has seen a significant growth in place-based festivals and events, one-off large scale events and city-specific commissions that aim, in one way or another, to animate public spaces and strive towards the idea of place-making. Artists are leading on initialising street festivals; intervening with politically motivated ‘guerrilla’ tactics to enliven places, in opposition to stasis in public engagement, and in promoting and building festival activities – some overt oth- ers more covert. For some the focus is on social and cultural change, for others the intentions are more community orientated and celebratory. All contribute to a sense of place and engagement. This chapter considers the emergent patterns of major events and festivals along- side the need to market places in competition with each other; the phenomena of culturally-focused and culturally-led events that bring places alive; the issues affecting both the artists as producers and the commissioning bodies; and the impacts and engagement of audiences. Within this exploration this chapter will address the question of whether there are principles that can be applied to the area of animation. Building on the idea that the relationship between people and place is given particular poignancy through festival and cultural engagements, a triad of place, people and purpose is emerging as a prism through which to see artists engaging in public spaces and, by doing so, contributing to place-making. The chapter will explore specific models of working that embrace three core ideas over and above this triad – the notion of making places, questions of identity, and ownership and celebration.

The BSR (Buoy for Supporting Risers) concept is composed by a submerged buoy anchored to the sea bottom by tethers and intended to support risers coming from the bottom (probably SCRs — Steel Catenary Risers) and going to the floating platform (probably with flexible jumpers). For the case under analysis here, the main dimensions of the BSR prototype are 27.2 m length × 27.2 m width × 5.0 m depth. The paper describes all final full scale installation step so that the BSR may be considered a suitable technology. The installation indeed was the great challenge of this design due the size of the

Abstract:
For offshore developments, the installation of production decks onto floaters (e.g. spars for deep water developments) or fixed platforms using a heavy lift derrick barge is now well established, though, for high payloads, this requires multiple lifts and hence extensive offshore hook-up. As demand for lift vessels increases, their availability to match a specific project’s schedule cannot be guaranteed. Consequently, an alternative deck installation vessel design has been developed for not only installing decks onto floaters, but also onto high air gap (circa 20 m) fixed platforms. This paper

Abstract:
Abstract A marine operation is a complex non-routine activity of limited duration carried out in offshore environment. Due to safety reasons, these operations are normally performed within specific sea state limits, which are derived from numerical modelling and analysis of hazardous events. In view of the uncertainties in the assessment of structural responses under stochastic environmental conditions, these limiting curves correspond to a target structural failure probability recommended in offshore standards (for example, 10−4 per operation as specified by DNV-GL). However, one of the main

Abstract:
Each combustion turbine installation has peculiar to it site-related characteristics that, if considered carefully, will define the type of inlet system that best fits the operational requirements. Historically, and unless owner specified, the OEM/Packager supplies his standard, all-purpose air filter configuration as an integral part of the package. The standard may or may not be the best selection for filtering combustion inlet air at the intended specific site location. This technical paper will match inlet air filtration systems to several typical ambient conditions, using laboratory tests

Abstract:
Abstract The J-lay and S-lay are two common methods for SCR and pipeline installations. When using the S-lay installation method, onboard welded pipe joints leave the vessel horizontally and are guided to the seabed over a stinger structure. The pipe is lowered using tensioners. With the advantage of high production rate, Slay can be a cost-effective solution for deepwater riser and pipeline installation. Based on HYSY201 installation vessel, this paper investigates the feasibility of S-lay installation for deepwater SCRs and pipelines to be used in South China Sea. It first introduces the SCR

Abstract:
Siemens Energy, Inc. has developed a modular approach that standardizes the components and configuration of the fuel gas conditioning system, while allowing for customization to meet site-specific requirements. The intent of this approach is to: • Lower engineering costs (design only has to be done once). • Allow for interchageability (long-lead components purchased for one project can be used on another project if necessary). • Simplify installation and commissioning at the site. In the past, fuel gas conditioning system components have been purchased from various suppliers. In cooperation wi

Abstract Nuclear power plant spent fuels are initially stored in the spent fuel pool. Then, the water cooled fuels are transferred in a concrete or steel cask and transported outside of the Fuel Handling Building (FHB) or the Reactor Building (RB) for long term on site storage. The spent fuel casks are typically stored on a slab-on-grade pad. The slab-on-grade pad is designed according to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission NUREG-1536 and NUREG-1567. The two Standard Review Plans provide guidance to the regulators for the review of cask storage system license application. The ISFSI pad anal

The nuclear installation decommissioning process is characterized by production of large amount of various radioactive and non-radioactive waste that has to be managed, taking into account its physical, chemical, toxic and radiological properties. Waste management is considered to be one of the key issues within the frame of the decommissioning process. During the decommissioning planning period, the scenarios covering possible routes of materials release into the environment and radioactive waste disposal, should be discussed and evaluated.
