At the stage of drafting the applications measurements of the sources of pollution emissions into the atmosphere were taken, with the aim of specifying the impact of the KTL installation on the air quality, while noise measurements were taken to describe the acoustic conditions around the printers. Designated employees from the plant provided assistance in work on the applications. Occupational health and safety Out of concern for the safety of employees working together with our company we organise, besides standard (introductory and periodic) training also specialised OHS training sessions. These include training modules on the safe removal of asbestos. Asbestos This harmful carcinogenic mineral was widely used, among other things in the production of construction materials, because of its technical characteristics, including its high mechanical durability, its resistance to corrosion and inflammability. Law The obligation to eliminate asbestos products from production and use, imposed by the act prohibiting the use of products containing asbestos of 19 June 1997 (Polish Journal of Laws from 2004, no 3, item 20), and the duty of safety in removing products containing asbestos, stipulated by relevant regulations ( Journal of Laws from 2005, no 216, item 1824; and Journal of Laws from 2004, no 71, item 649), re- 8 www.hpc.ag HPC, September 2009 HPC Poland Visualisation Wienerberger planning assignment quire companies engaged in dismantling materials containing asbestos to ensure safe working conditions for their employees. These companies, concerned to raise awareness for the level of risk resulting from the nature of the work, commission HPC Polska to conduct specialised training for employees. Training Training sessions are conducted by qualified personnel from our company – an occupational medical doctor, an OHS specialist, a specialist in environmental protection – using a high quality of training materials, and the training concludes with a test of acquired knowledge. Tests and the opinions of employers indicate that participants in our training sessions acquire a high degree of awareness of the threats to which they are exposed. They are able to perform their occupational responsibilities properly and without damaging their own health. Over 100 Polish workers are employed by our partner FridayEuroTech (www.fridayeurotech.nl) at building sites in Belgium and the Netherlands to remove materials containing asbestos. Comprehensive service for industrial investments One example of our service in implementing industrial investments is the commission by the company Wienerberger Polska for a building ceramics plant, an investment costing around 40 million PLN. We were commissioned to compile a complete multi-sector documentation to obtain planning permission, calculate estimates for all sectors, conduct tenders, make detailed drawings for all sectors and conduct investor inspections during implementation. The overall duration of the commission comprised two years. Peter Szymanski, psz@hpc-ag.de
Across the Pyrenees creates GEYSER HPC, S.A.U. BILBAO – Still in the 60’s of the last century the Iberian Peninsula with its two states Spain and Portugal was clearly separated from the rest of Europe not only due to its special geographical location. At first, this has slowly changed since the introduction of the parliamentary monarchy in the year 1978 and since the accession of Spain to the EU in the year 1986 increasingly more rapidly. The influx of funds accompanying with the accession was mainly used for development and modernization of the at that time still very backward infrastructure. However, in this context, a general economic growth that was clearly above the European Union average became apparent. HPC has recognized this development early and established the first contacts with Spain at the beginning of the 90’ s. In June 1992 a regular co-operation with the company GEYSER, S.A. of Bilbao resulted from that. This office was established in summer 1988 by three Spanish geologists and was originally engaged with the discovery of ore deposits. From this co-operation resulted step by step the takeover of GEYSER’ s shares by HPC, that reached the 100 % portion in the year 1995. Our team in Bilbao GEYSER HPC Spain Since then our team has expanded to approx. 20 persons by self-growth with a healthy mixture of seven different academic backgrounds altogether. As usual with HPC we are engaged in the field of environmental consultation diversified over most different ranges, whereas in Spain reports on the environmental situation of industrial sites are of most interest according to the Royal Decree 9/2005 of January 14th. However, at least in 2008, 52% of the sales was generated with projects in surface recycling including the correspondent investigations of contaminated sites, risk analyses and remediation monitoring. Contrary to Germany, in Spain the deposit technology continues gaining in importance, whereas we cover the entire HOAI-spectrum from the basic collection to the construction management and the maintenance after closing of the deposit. Another issue is the topic quality assurance of the landfill sealing by means of geo plastics. Especially here we are said to be not necessarily the most favourable bidder but absolutely reliable. Since last year an absolutely new – in our opinion promising – business area came up for GEYSER HPC, the „LDAR Leak Detection and Repair Program“ Laying of the bontonite mat according to the rule 1173 of the American South Coast Air Quality Management District. In the frame of this programme all potential leaks e. g. flanges, sliders, valves, plug valves, caps and other connections in chemical factories dealing with volatile materials will be identified, numbered and finally gauged with the PID or FID in order to detect leakages, i.e. gas releases. Theses measurements are repeated in regular intervals, three to four times per year, in order to check if the correspondent repair work is successful or if new leakages developed in the meantime. We carry out these measurements on behalf of our Inogen partner Delta at the Valencia location of an American group and we believe that in the near future an important market for this service could develop. By the way, we do know the meaning of HPC, but what is actually meant by GEYSER? GEYSER stands for „Geología y Servicios“, which means to say “Geology and Services” in English. The first one has become quite insignificant in our profession. However we want to continue with the second one in the near as well as in the remote future.
