<p>The desire to connect Davao City with the Island Garden City of Samal (IGaCOS), in the Southern Philippines, has been around for more than 40 years. A new sea crossing is planned to link the two areas with a road bridge. A feasibility study has been carried out to establish the alignment and preliminary design of the road link, assess the project impacts and analyse the costs and benefits.</p>

<p>Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge (BCIB) in the Philippines is a proposed 32km sea-crossing which will connect Bataan to Cavite, to unlock opportunity for economic growth and expansion outside Metro Manila. A Feasibility Study was carried out to plan the road link, which would involve two major navigation bridges, long marine viaducts, and interchange connections. This paper outlines the Feasibility Study and the preliminary design of the crossing, and highlights how the bridge options were assessed in order to come up with an optimum solution.</p>

End Point

Solid waste management is commonly seen in Nigeria as simply pick up the waste and go dump it in a hole somewhere. Hence the current major solid waste management method in Nigeria is disposal at dumpsite. The solid waste management practice at the dumpsite is simple. The waste disposal trucks drive into the dumpsites through the access roads and dump their waste. Other vehicles that deliver waste to the site simply dump their waste indiscriminately by the road sides. The workers at the dumpsites use shovel to manually push the waste from the road and try to spread them as much as their strength can go. Thereafter, open air incineration without pollution control is carried out on the waste for volume reduction. This is not sustainable as it does not bring financial return at the end point of the waste. Therefore incineration with pollution control and energy recovery that will bring financial returns at the end point of the waste is ineviTable for sustainable solid waste management. In the work reported in this paper a study and preliminary design for incineration with energy recovery has been carried out. A review of solid waste component in Benin metropolis was carried out to determine the proportion of combustible material in the waste streams in the metropolis. Several conceptual designs were developed and one was selected. Detail design of a prototype for 15kW electrical power generation was done. The result obtained showed that about 43% of combustible commercial solid waste and about 16% of combustible domestic solid waste are generated in Benin metropolis. The result also showed that about 72Kg/s of combustible municipal solid waste is required for the generation of about 15kW of electrical power and the exhaust gas can be used for other process systems such as systems for drying agro-produce.

Expected Increase

The Ministry of Transport is planning for the construction of new roads in its territory. Many projects are being considered, and the Ministry needs to identify the worthwhile projects for which the benefits exceed the costs. Among costs and benefits are the expense of constructing the road, the time saved by motorists using the new road rather than some other road, the time saved through the reduction of congestion on other roads, and the expected increase or decrease in the number of deaths due to traffic accidents. I am concerned in this paper with the last item on the list. It is, of course, difficult to estimate fatalities accurately, but this difficulty is neither unique nor central to our problem. The problem is how best to place a monetary value on fatalities, so that the expected number of fatalities can be compared with other costs and benefits in deciding whether to build a road. However chosen, the monetary value of fatalities for use in this context is what the economist means by “the value of life.” The term is almost a joke, a bit of gallows humor to exorcise the ghoulishness that inevitably clings to analysis of life and death in monetary terms.

The geological structure, hydrogeological conditions were evaluated and the main indicators of the engineering and geological properties of the base soils at the construction site of the federal highway were determined. The designed section of the road crosses the existing field roads. To pass field roads, an artificial construction device is required. A feasibility study of three options for the construction of a reinforced concrete culvert, a single-span overpass and a two-span tunnel type overpass has been completed. The advantages and disadvantages of each of the considered options for structures are analyzed. As a recommended option, a monolithic reinforced concrete pipe device is provided. The corresponding conclusions and recommendations are given.
