MINERÍA RESPONSABLE PARA UN FUTURO SOSTENIBLE

Posted by Alejandro on

El concepto erróneo que hacía ver la minería como una actividad perjudicial para el medioambiente ha quedado atrás. El impulso generado por las nuevas tecnologías y el importante desarrollo legislativo, tanto a nivel nacional como europeo, hacen que esta actividad cobre aún más importancia, llegando a ser crucial para la transición ecológica.

La consciencia sobre esto fue plasmada por la Comisión Europea en 2008 con la Iniciativa de materias primas. Con el paso del tiempo se ha ido perfeccionando la metodología, elaborando sucesivas listas de materias primas críticas o estratégicas desde 2011 hasta la actual de 2023. Se califican como críticas aquellas materias primas imprescindibles para la transición ecológicas, mientras que las estratégicas lo son por su importancia par a la industria europea, atendiendo a la naturaleza, usos y potencial de auto suministro europeo. En 2023 se redactó la propuesta de Ley Europea de Materias Primas fundamentales para conciliar la necesidad de explotación de los recursos mineros con la protección de los valores ambientales. Adicionalmente, cabe destacar que la Ley de Minas (1973) comenzó a incorporar ciertas obligaciones por la Ley de Protección de Medio Ambiente (1972). Más tarde, en 1982, se publicó el Real Decreto sobre restauración de espacios naturales afectados por operaciones mineras y, en 1988 y 2000, se publicaron las ITC sobre la suspensión y abandono de labores. Desde ahí, la reglamentación se ha ido renovando hasta el punto de requerir un muy estricto cumplimiento de requisitos medioambientales .

En la industria de los recursos minerales, es frecuente escuchar el refrán: “Lo que no se puede cultivar, debe de ser extraído de la tierra“. Esto implica que para obtener recursos que no pueden ser cultivados, es necesario extraerlos del subsuelo.

En la actualidad, los productos que consumimos en nuestro día a día son, en innumerables casos, fruto de los avances en minería y la explotación de yacimientos mineros. Por ello, no es posible negar la necesidad del uso de materiales obtenidos en explotaciones mineras para el avance y progreso de nuestra civilización.

Desde Inmíner Ingeniería promovemos la nueva minería. Una minería responsable y sostenible, íntimamente relacionada con la Responsabilidad Social Corporativa de las empresas involucradas, desarrollada alrededor del cuidado del medioambiente.

La coexistencia armoniosa entre la minería y la preservación del medioambiente es esencial para un futuro sostenible. Reconociendo los avances de la industria en términos de prácticas responsables y el cumplimiento de regulaciones medioambientales, así como la importancia de proteger nuestros recursos naturales, siendo posible aspirar a una evolución de la economía respetuosa con el planeta.

INMÍNER INGENIERÍA, S.L. IT IS PART OF THE CIUDAD REAL BIOSANITARY CAMPUS PROJECT

Posted by Alejandro on

The services contract for the drafting of the project, the project management of the execution, the health and safety coordination of the project, as well as the works of the Biosanitary Campus of Ciudad Real, has been awarded by the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM ) to the UTE (Temporary Business Union) made up of Ramón Esteve Estudio de Arquitectura, BAC Engineering Consultancy Group and Inminer Engineering, for a total of 1,555,280 euros.

The importance of this project for INMÍNER INGENIERÍA is enormous for two main reasons: firstly, because of the emotional ties that exist between our company and Ciudad Real itself, knowing the symbolism that the construction of this university complex has for the capital of La Mancha, where part of the future health personnel of our region will be formed. Secondly, we must highlight the challenge that it represents for the members of the UTE, to achieve the objectives of zero energy balance, as well as the balance of zero net emissions for the year 2050, premises around which the design of the project, always maintaining firm the principle of environmental sustainability.

La presentación del proyecto se realizó ayer martes, en la Facultad de Derecho y Ciencias Sociales del Campus de Ciudad Real, siendo el rector de la UCLM, Julián Garde, en compañía de la vicerrectora de Sostenibilidad e Infraestructuras, Inmaculada Gallego, y del vicerrector de Ciencias de la Salud, Alino Martínez, el encargado de presentar la propuesta ganadora del concurso.

In the vicinity of the General University Hospital of Ciudad Real, on a plot granted by the city council for this purpose, a vast complex of 19,000 square meters will be erected. This complex will house the faculties of Medicine and Nursing, along with the Biomedicine Research Institute, an animal facility and the Institute of Legal Medicine. Its total cost will amount to 36.6 million euros, financed in part by FEDER Funds from the 2021-27 Operational Program, with complementary contributions from the Castilla-La Mancha Communities Board.

BLASTING OF THE ELCOGÁS COOLING TOWER.

Posted by Alejandro on

On this day, 5 years ago, the cooling tower of the ELCOGAS Integrated Combined Cycle Power Plant in Puertollano was blown up. This marked the zenith of the dismantling of said plant, as well as the definitive goodbye to coal as a fuel to produce energy in the Puertollano region. INMÍNER INGENIERÍA, received the order for the blasting project from MAXAM, which had been awarded the execution of the same. For its part INMÍNER ING. had accumulated experience in this type of work thanks to the blasting of the SEVILLANA cooling tower, which at that time belonged to the electric company VIESGO GENERACIÓN and whose blasting was entrusted to the company CONTROL DEMETER in 2015. That blasting, It was the first of those features that was made in Spain. A success that years later was replicated with the ELCOGAS tower. This concrete structure, 122 meters high and with a diameter of up to 85.5 meters, had to be demolished as part of the plant's dismantling work and, due to its dimensions and geometry, the best option was to propose a controlled blast. After a thorough calculation process, an action plan was designed for the positioning of the explosive, security perimeters, dust collection systems, etc. On the indicated day, the blasting proceeded as planned. Once the column of smoke was cleared, he revealed the remains that were still standing, even wobbly: a series of rubble of the structure, which was later demolished using demolition machinery. Intense months of work were left behind, evaporated in a few thousandths of a second, just as everything had been planned.
INMÍNER INGENIERÍA, recibió el encargo del proyecto de la voladura por parte de MAXAM, la cual había sido adjudicataria de la ejecución de la misma. Por su parte INMÍNER ING. atesoraba la experiencia en este tipo de trabajos gracias a la voladura de la torre de refrigeración de la SEVILLANA, que por aquella época pertenecía a la compañía eléctrica VIESGO GENERACIÓN y cuya voladura fue encargada a la empresa CONTROL DEMETER en el año 2015. Aquella voladura, fue la primera de esas características que se hizo en España. Todo un éxito que años más tarde fue replicado con la torre de ELCOGAS.
Esta estructura de hormigón de 122 metros de altura y un diámetro de hasta 85,5 metros, debía ser demolida dentro de las labores de desmantelamiento de la planta y, debido a sus dimensiones y a su geometría, la mejor opción fue plantear una voladura controlada.
Tras un minucioso proceso de cálculo, se diseñó un plan de actuación para el posicionamiento del explosivo, perímetros de seguridad, sistemas de captación de polvo, etc. El día indicado, la voladura se desarrolló tal y como se había planeado.
Una vez que la columna de humo quedó despejada, dejo al descubierto los restos que aún incluso tambaleantes quedaban en pie: una serie de cascotes de estructura, que posteriormente fue derruida mediante maquinaria de demolición.
Atrás quedaron intensos meses de trabajo, evaporados en unas milésimas de segundo, tal y como todo había sido proyectado.

CHEMICAL PLANT ASBESTOS MAP

Posted by Alejandro on

After our experience in works in which asbestos was present, endangering people, hindering work, increasing costs, etc. We decided to design a system for detecting and mapping existing asbestos in any industrial area based on a sequential work procedure that combines documentary research with field work and sampling.

This is how the Asbestos Map came about. After arduous research work on the property's servers and physical archives, with projects dating from the mid-20th century to the present, a documentary base was achieved that would enable well-guided field work with important planning.

Due to the training of our technicians in matters of Safety and Health at work, as well as specific training in working with asbestos, a sampling was carried out in such a way that, together with the previous investigation, made it possible to generate a document that unequivocally identified the points where this plant was contaminated with asbestos.
