The ability to build a rig at Sea!
This is to be the future for gas and oil drilling at sea, it will cut out the shipyards and the need to tow rigs by barges! The two reasons for this change is the costs in ordering and the insurance, you think you have problems each year with your car?
These vessels will still have to dock for certain components, but Meccano and Lego ideas have now come to fruition in the drilling industries? Crew transfers may be made directly from these vessels and pumping to a hub if to far out in that of laying cable!
Much has been learnt in this industry over the last fifty years, despite the many accidents! This technology will open the Oceans of the world up to exploration and with the melting of the North pole the possibility to take advantage of seasonal drilling. It is also hoped that in time these ships and their larger variants will also be enabled to disable rigs new and old?

Floating Homes. Part-Two.
Alternative Living.
So far many changes and ways to live have been adapted, but not many governments have taken the idea seriously as perhaps they should? Most people who enter countries as refugees end up in the homes that the local population does not want because of high crime areas and yet they then end up crying wolf?
This problem of building has remained in Europe and N-America now for over forty years, one can work out it has little to do with costs, but more with the rising value of the land to be developed for luxary tower blocks of unreachable normal pricing?
Some countries have tried many new ideas, but they are still limited to spacial projects for certain types of successful peoples. One reason for the failure to adapt this idea has to do with the laws on river boat traffic, but them many governments do very little to improve the plethora of damp and decreped land properties that already exist?

The decline in the price of Steel. Part-Two.
A point has to Come?
The demand for more metal items is actually on the decline as we said before, since the introduction of new types of combined plastics. Ship building and the need for the construction, road and railway building industry will continue to demand metal.
But the reallity is we will at some point need to start to re-cycle steel or we will face the WALLY situation of a world glut dump of metal and all the rubbish that the human race is accumilating.
The peoples Republic of China has given the world a gift while pricing its own self out? The idea that the steel market in a few years will lift up cannot be sustained by the building debt on some of these plants across the world.
This is serious in the west, when mainy are linked to pension schemes that are becoming chains to profits and something will have to be done by governments who may take advice to convert over that of closing down?

Super Trains.
British HS-II.
London to Birmingham is the several billion pounds new high speed rail link being proposed from London to Birmingham and then further afield to Leeds, Manchester and to be part of a full European connection.
Railways of nearly all types remain a good investment and effective part of economic infrastructure to the prosperity of any nation. Britain says 'that it needs this new form of high-speed rail to take advantage of the Channel tunnel.'
In some cases, when it is built and up and running, it would mean that one could take a train from any point to Europe and by pass the Capital London stop.
But in light of the recent flooding and the appearance of many sink holes I do hope that they build in the right place, rather than just any old straight lines?

Construction Vehicles.
The Bulldozer.
All modern construction across the globe today is supported by a series of vehicles to help tear away the earth, to dig, to tunnel underground and erected up to support building up. We cannot live or do anything without machines.
The bulldozer has been around now for some time, its origins come from the caterpillar tractor of U.S. 1920's. Tracked vehicles work well on rough and unstable ground, but with the introduction of the JCB double powered 4 wheel machines the bulldozer is not now limited just to heavy construction.
A tractor type based on the Unimog multi-purpose off road vehicle has allowed a more basic machine to expanded into road building scene. but despite this the old bulldozer cannot be done without. Caterpillar in one of the biggest producers in the world. These Cats' are widely used by the military also.
