Proyectan reconstruir con adobe antisísmico tradicionales inmuebles de Vichuquén

Proyectan reconstruir con adobe antisísmico tradicionales inmuebles de Vichuquén

Publicado por Carolina Reyes • La información es de Agencia UPI • 53 visitas

Las demoliciones de casas y edificios públicos afectados por el terremoto del 27 de febrero en el casco central de la localidad de Vichuquén, Región del Maule, se iniciaron en medio de la tristeza de sus habitantes. Sin embargo, se proyecta la reconstrucción de los tradicionales inmuebles con adobe antisísmico, obras que estarán a cargo de una empresa minera.

Los derribamientos de inmuebles en esta localidad ubicada a pocos kilómetros de Curicó, y que fue fundada por los incas, comenzaron por la propiedad de la familia Rivera-Muñoz, ubicada en calle Manuel Rodríguez, por disposición de sus propietarios, visado municipalmente a través del Departamento de Obras.

También contemplan el Retén de Carabineros y el Antiguo Edificio Municipal los que serán reconstruidos.

El terremoto dañó antiguas y altas casas con gruesos muros hechos de adobe, techos de tejas, amplios corredores con pilares de madera, vigas de roble y varillas de coligüe a la vista.

Se puede observar cómo el ex Retén de Carabineros y el Antiguo Edificio Municipal, ya lucen mallas negras anunciando su inminente demolición previo "desmontaje".

"El desmontaje significa rescatar piezas reutilizables de estos edificios recordando la antigüedad de éstos y los materiales con que fueron diseñados donde tenemos vigas de robles, por citar un ejemplo, que datan de mucho tiempo y trabajados completamente a mano, por lo tanto, los edificios de carabineros y la ex municipalidad entraron en ese proceso para ser posteriormente demolidos", dijo el director del Departamento de Obras Municipales, Rolando Castillo.

Por su parte, el alcalde Román Pavez, mostró su tristeza por lo que está ocurriendo con los inmuebles de la comuna, que el 18 de febrero pasado, celebró sus 425 años de vida.

"Es lamentable lo que estamos viviendo. Son casas muy antiguas, con mucha tradición histórica y recuerdos que están siendo demolidos por la retroexcavadora, es algo muy triste, pero necesario por la seguridad de nuestros habitantes", expresó el edil.

Añadió que "sin embargo, estamos confiados en que podremos reconstruir en adobe gracias a un convenio que estamos realizando con la empresa minera Barrick Gold, Sensico Perú y Monumentos Nacionales, en el sentido que tendríamos capacitación en adobe antisísmico en la comuna para así poder levantar nuestro pueblo con una técnica aplicada resistente a los sismos", sostuvo el jefe comunal.

CapitolDC's Walk-Walkers
In a town of Talk-Talk, here are 10 who walk the walk for bioenergy, renewables


In Washington, a group of Midwestern senators, headlined by Charles Grassley of Iowa and Kent Conrad of North Dakota, just introduced a Senate bill supporting the extension of the ethanol blender tax credit, as well as the ethanol tariff.

It raises the question, who are walk-walkers in the US government - who "walk the walk, not just talk the talk" on renewables and bioenergy.

A cursory survey of 435 congressional and 100 Senatorial websites will find the talk on for energy independence is tough and universal, but not always reflected in action and votes. Out of the 535 talk-talkers in Congress (and a lot more in the executive branch), here are some walk-walkers of note.

1. President Barack Obama. Republicans sense opportunity in the fall, but despite pressure from environmentalists to dump (and dump on) biofuels, be in no doubt - when biofuels received a huge expansion of R&D and commercialization support via the Recovery Act despite the "food vs fuel" theatrics of 2008/09, "No drama Obama" was driving policy.

2. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack.Though Digest readers voted Secretary of Energy Steven Chu ahead of the Agriculture Secretary, Vilsack has been quietly assuming the lead on bioenergy development as part of the USDA's mission to promote rural economic development, as well as develop new markets for US farm products, The USDA has assumed the responsibility for moving the biofuels industry from the R&D stage to commercialization, and three new programs announced by the Secretary this week are proof positive that the USDA is on the move.

Producer News

In New York
, the Codexis IPO prices today, and the CDXS stock will commence trading tomorrow when NASDAQ opens. It's the most widely-anticipated IPO - in fact the only bioenergy IPO - in a month of Sundays. What have we learned?  1. The stock, according to well-placed Digest sources, is doing "very well", and expectations may well be for a strong open on Thursday. 2. Seven other IPOs hit the market this week - so watch out, day traders, the initial market may well be tapped in terms of absorbing the new equities and a short-term price dip may be experienced. More on lessons learned at biofuelsdigest.com.

"When in doubt, we go to the experts, who allegedly know more than we do," writes Dr. Rosalie Lober in a column on Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, "The Future's Not Ours To See...Que Sera, Sera." In the next few columns, we will learn about the man who President Obama determined as the U.S. global representative, at a time when energy policy is perhaps more critical for the world's sustainability than ever before."

Biofuels Bits:In California,Pacific Ethanol announced that it has filed an amended restructuring plan, which would transfer ownership of the company's four ethanol plants to a new company, New PEH. Also in California, AE Biofuels reports that it is on track to commence production of cellulosic ethanol in 2011at the former Cilion corn ethanol plant in Sacramento.

World Opinion

Patrick Westhoff, in the New York Times:"Even though China is self-sufficient in many major food commodities today, it has been a major player in world markets in the past, and will be again in the future. In the case of corn, for example, China has sometimes been the second leading exporter in the world, but it has occasionally also been a significant importer. Just the rumor of potential Chinese corn imports can send prices in futures markets soaring."

From AFP: "The US Department of Defense accounts for 80 percent of the US government's total energy consumptionenergy needs, and most of the energy it uses currently comes from fossil fuels, the report by the Pew Research think tank's Project on National Security, Energy and Climate says...The navy has set itself a key goal of getting 50 percent of fuel used ashore and afloat from non-fossil sources by 2020.
International News

In Honduras, the Agroipsa Farm in Choluteca has deployed the BEI Jatropha Wave Harvester,a mechanical harvesting system for jatropha which has successfully completed an eight-month trial of the system, according to BEI International, the harvester's manufacturer. the system was used for mechanical harvest of a 550 hectare plantation of three-year old jatriopha.

In Namibia, a report on LL Biofuels Namibia said that the company has secured rights to plant jatrophaon as much as 300,000 hectares controlled by the Caprivi Regional Council and the Namibia Development Corporation, and said it would proceed to develop as much as 20,000 hectares in the first phase of development. The group, backed by Israeli investor Lev Leviev.

In Tanzania, a statement issued by an EU delegation in Dar es Salaam, criticizing an ActionAid studyon the impact of biofuels production as "substantially flawed," has prompted a swift rebuke from ActionAid. The NGO continues to state that the acquisition of prime land by European companies in Tanzania for biofuels cultivation violates a national Tanzanian policy that biofuels should only be cultivated on marginal lands.
Research News

In Michigan, researchers at the University of Michigan are investigating a recipe to pressure-cook algaeat 300 degrees for 30 minutes, and thereby break down oils, proteins and carbohydrates into a bio-oil, which can be upgraded into fuel. The $2 million project, funded by the National Science Foundation under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, is aimed at producing acceptable fuel yields from low-oil content algae strains, as well as eliminating the need for water extraction in algal fuel production.
Camelina Aviation Biofuels Study

Policy and Policymakers

In Washington, Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa and Senator Kent Conrad of North Dakota are co-sponsors of a Senate billto extend ethanol tax credits through 2015, with no change in support levels. Blender credits would be set at $0.45 per gallon for corn ethanol, $0.10 as an added small ethanol producers credit, and $1.01 per gallon. The ethanol tariff would also be extended for five years. All of the credits are scheduled to expire December 31st.
