6 ATJULY- AUGUST2010 REGIONS Channel Islands Region ( 11) Members on Jersey recently enjoyed a visit to the new ' energy from waste' plant, organised by the Institute's President. The plant is currently under construction on the island at a cost of some £ 110 million. This is the most modern system currently under construction in Europe and will process in excess of 80,000 tonnes of non inert waste per year. Approximately half of this will be putrescible waste ( household dustbin) and the other half shredded bulky waste ( carpets, mattresses, old furniture etc). The Energy from Waste plant burns rubbish and uses the heat from the fire to generate steam. This steam is then used to drive a turbine which generates electricity. Former olympic athlete, Dame Mary Peters was the guest of honour at the inaugural Architectural Technology and Management End of Year Show and awards evening which took place on 16 June at the University of Ulster's Jordanstown Campus with over 100 guests in attendance. The show, which featured work by both Year 2 and graduating students from the BSc ( Hons) Architectural Technology and Management programme, provided the students with the chance to showcase their design skills and technical excellence and offered prospective employers, industry professionals and members of the public an excellent opportunity to identify emerging talent.
