An interesting job - Reinforced Earth Structure in Wolverhampton
	Reinforced earth embankments are not common, expecially using fly ash. However, with this technique verticle embankments can be created, as was done at the Wolverhampton Low Level station road improverments.
In this picture they are just beginning to place the first layers of PFA ...
	The new embankment will be used to take the Wdenesfield Road while the old existing railway bridge is demolished and replaced witha further PFA embankment... There will be a case study about this contract in due, when complete in 2006.
Wind Farms are made with fly ash!
The many windfarms built in the Scottish Higlands use fly ash based cement from ScotAsh;
	This is to reduce heat of hydration and possible thermal cracking problems and to improve durability.
Windfarm do help in the production of electricity and reduce enivironmental impacts, but using fly ash within the concrete further reduced the impacts of making the windfarm... It full circle!
Ash in other countries
China has some massive lagoons for disposal of ash, which eventually become paddy fields, growing rice...
	Some former Eastern Block countries still have some way to go tidy up their act and to utilise their ash!
