Work Element Time Study of a Prototype for Baling Forest Residual Biomass into Large Rectangular Bales
Abstract The productivity of forest biomass collection equipment is highly dependent on site conditions, spatial distribution of biomass, operator skill, and functional design of the
Conceptual Specification of Forest Utility Balers for Woody Biomass
Abstract The forest utility modular woody biomass baler is designed to maximize recovery of forest residuals from small/remote/stranded landings, scattered roadside windrows and piles, thinnings
Field Experience with Wood-Strand Erosion Control Mulch on Mine and Pipeline Projects
Abstract Soil erosion is a significant risk during and after grading operations on mine and pipeline sites. A range of materials are commercially available to
Conceptual Specification of Large-Bale Forest Residuals Balers
Abstract The large-bale modular woody biomass baler is designed to maximize daily production while baling previously piled logging slash, forest residuals, thinnings from hand crews,
Conceptual Specification of Forest Residues Balers using the Appreciative Design Method
Abstract Baling of fine forest residuals such as tops, branches, and thinnings is expected to reduce the cost of collection, transport, and processing. Baling may
Development and Application of Wood-Strand Material for Post-Wildfire Erosion Control and Revegetation
Abstract Soil erosion is a significant risk on burned areas following wildfires due to loss of vegetation, fine surface debris, and fireline construction. Erosion may
