Working Method. A perimeter dyke shall be constructed around the perimeter of the clay disposal site utilizing the dredged materials or materials locally available in the vicinity. The Contractor shall divide the areas to be filled into compartments of adequate dimensions by the construction of temporary containment bunds of suitable material. These perimeter xxxxx shall be constructed before reclamation work in that area commences. The Contractor shall establish, to the satisfaction of the Engineer that the proposed perimeter xxxxx are sufficiently stable, durable, and erosion resistant and water tight for a period of not less than 1 year after completion of maintenance period of dredging. Geotextile filter material of approved type & grade shall be employed as filter material in making such perimeter xxxxx to sufficiently cover those sides of the dyke that are likely to be affected by erosion / slippage and flow of dredged materials to the river or other land underutilization, during dredging or rains. Dredged material placed by hydraulic means shall be placed in layer thickness appropriate to achieving the maximum amount of de-watering of the fill before subsequent layers are placed on top. Fill heights should not exceed 1.0 m in any one lift. Excess water above the clay layer should be removed in order to promote natural de-watering.

Working Method. In order to study, analyse and elaborate a proposal governing the relation industry- TI in the prototyping activities, the working group AMICI-Industry played a central role, which along the three years activities has been a permanent forum for discussing the different approaches and points of view with the aim to achieve reasonable syntheses. After the Industry Days, six companies were actively working with WP5.4: ASG Superconductors (Italy), ANTEC Magnets, S.L.U. (Spain), Xxxxxxx Xxxxx GmbH (Germany), ELYTT (Spain), Xxxxx (Italy), Sigmaphi (France). As a first step, a questionnaire was sent to these companies for defining advantages and disadvantages when dealing with the collaboration between Technological Facilities and Industry in prototype developments. The industrial partners were asked to comment the different scenarios by assigning a rank to the entity of the advantage or disadvantage (High, Medium, Low and Negligible), and possibly commenting and adding further pros or cons. The construction of prototype with industry was debated in depth in two dedicated meetings of the T5.4 Working Group: the first was held in Milano (January 25th, 2018) and the second at Bruxelles (February 6th, 2018), this latter meeting being a satellite meeting of the “Accelerator- Industry Co-Innovation Workshop” (Bruxelles, 6-7 February 2018). Other meetings took place during the annual meetings of the AMICI collaboration. Two important aspects emerged from these meetings:
Working Method. Experts from member countries serve as delegates at Task 1 meetings held every six months in conjunction with the IA-HEV Executive Committee meetings. Country delegates also write country-specific information for IA-HEV publications, such as the country chapters in this annual report. Many country delegates also serve dual roles as the official Operating Agent for a specific Task. In this role, they may also represent IA-HEV to a public audience by presenting Task results at international conferences, such as the EVS (Electric Vehicle Symposium) meetings. The Task 1 Operating Agent (OA) is responsible for coordinating and leading the semi-annual experts’ meetings, compiling the minutes of these meetings, maintaining the IA-HEV website (Figure 1), and editing and supervising the production of the newsletter and the Executive Committee (ExCo) annual report. The OA also acts as liaison to the other Task OAs, the ExCo Chair (together with the Secretary-General), and the IEA Desk Officer. Since the end of 2014, the responsibility for Task 1 has been transferred to Xxxxxx Xxxxx of VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH (Germany) as the new OA. A significant component of the information exchange for the Task occurs at the experts’ meetings, where participants brief the attendees on relevant reports, facts, and statistics pertaining to hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and electric vehicles (EVs) in their home countries. These presentations generally cover current developments on the market situations for EVs and HEVs (national sales and fleet penetration, by vehicle type); the progress of international, national, or local programs and incentives in the field; and new initiatives in vehicle and component development arising from both the private sector and public-private partnerships. Any member country of the IA-HEV can automatically participate in Task 1. There is no cost for Task membership. Each country designates an agency or non- governmental organization as its Task 1 expert delegate. Frequently, guest experts are invited to participate in Task 1 meetings to present their activities and to
Working Method. The Task was established in 2000-2001 under the format and budget structure that was standard at the time. After several years, the ExCo determined that it would be appropriate to restructure the way the Task was managed. The current Operating Agent (OA) took over responsibility for the Task at the ExCo meeting held in November 2004; his effort was supported by the United States (U.S.) Department of Energy. After this transition, any IA-HEV member could participate at no additional cost. The OA retired from employment with the U. S. government in 2015; his current address is at the end of this chapter. The Task addressed selected topics through the use of focused working groups. Each working group met once or twice to discuss a specific topic. Products from 2016 IA-HEV ANNUAL REPORT the working groups varied depending upon the nature of the discussions and included documents distributed to the participants and summaries published in the Annual Reports. Each working group had unique members; attendees were individuals interested in the specific topic. A country or organization could participate in one working group without making a multiyear commitment to attend every Task meeting. Discussions were on a “no public attribution” basis to encourage candid discussions.
Working Method. Task 17 activities predominantly consisted of preparing a technology assessment report on trends and providing opportunities for member countries to exchange information. Thus, working methods included: • Questionnaires, personal interviews and several workshops • Foresight analyses of future options and opportunities • Simulation of different component configurations • International networking • Information exchange and close coordination with other running Tasks • Dissemination of results of participating countries in giving support to their policy and industrial decision makers and leading R&D representatives in their responsibility for setting of research priorities. The most common form was represented by workshops. They enabled the dissemination of information about relevant activities in an international context:
Working Method. The most important networking activity in this LCA platform was the organization of the five workshops in different member countries. – the aim was to involve the different stakeholders in the EV value chain. The organization of workshops with participation from industry, research organizations, and technology policy experts provides an international basis for the exchange of information on relevant activities. These 5 workshops were:
