    Notizen: There is increasing interest in reclaiming tyres for use in bank-side and coastal-protection structures. However, concern has been expressed about the potential for tyres to release pollutants into the environment and to retain their long-term structural stability. This paper describes laboratory leaching tests for heavy metals from new used tyres and tyres which have been exposed to an aquatic environment for thirteen years. The results show that the limiting factor to their use could be cadmium release. Tests found evidence of the loss of ultraviolet screening agents such as carbon black, suggesting that chemical breakdown of the tyre through leaching of vulcanising chemicals is more significant in the physical breakdown of the tyre, than the reverse. Three case studies of tyre flood-protection and river-control structures are presented, which examine the ability of tyres to retain structural integrity over long periods. Based on this evidence, guidance on design principles is offered. It is concluded that tyres can be used sustainably in a river or coastal environment, subject to careful consideration of local site conditions.

    Notizen: Much attention has been focused on the need for sewer renovation and rehabilitation of old sewerage systems, but age is not always the reason for sewer failure. Serious problems of performance have also been encountered on sewerage schemes less than 10 years old. This paper considers the problems of groundwater infiltration into new foul sewers, and suggests that deficiencies might exist in some aspects of modern sewer design and construction.Infiltration is most frequently observed at sewer joints. Results are presented of laboratory tests which show the ability of flexible fixed-ring joints on clay sewers to withstand both internal and external pressures. Damaged polyester fairings on the spigots of these pipes can act as one-way valves, and massive infiltration may result. The standard site water test is shown to be inadequate in detecting some of these types of defect which may result from damaged pipes or poor workmanship.

    Notizen: This paper presents the results of a study into the effectiveness of the land-drainage consents system. The investigation studied eighteen main river reaches, each 2 km in length, in the north-east Thames region. All works within the main channel and the 8 m margin, subject to the regulations in the Water Resources Act 1991, were recorded. The impact that each of these works might have had upon the environment, including the ability of the river to pass the peak flow and the potential for an increase in pollution, has been assessed and an overall impact rating for each reach has been determined. Each of the works identified on the reaches has been cross-referenced with consent records held by the National Rivers Authority. Results that indicate that a high proportion (92%) of works do not have consent under the present system.
