The present invention relates to recycling equipment in general and, more particularly, to such equipment which separates trash into recyclable and non-recyclable goods.
Now more than ever before municipalities all over the world are experiencing a growing waste disposal problem. Suitable landfill space continues to decrease. Water pollution concerns have severely limited off-shore solid waste disposal. National and international pollution control laws, regulations, and treaties have become much more stringent in recent years. It is now more difficult than ever to get a permit to legally dump wastes and the penalties for dumping wastes illegally have dramatically increased. Further, the existing piles of untreated municipal waste both above and below ground have raised public concerns about future health risks and possible ground water contamination. For these reasons, the continued dumping of solid wastes has become a very unattractive option for most cities.
Therefore, in order to effectively stem the steady flow of refuse into landfills and waterways and make recycling easier, many municipalities and waste management companies have decided to more thoroughly sort their waste into recyclable and non-recyclable goods. Although some municipalities have used public information campaigns to encourage their citizens to separate recyclable and non-recyclable wastes and have passed ordinances establishing fines for those who refuse to recycle, these programs have met with varying levels of success. Thousands of tons of recyclable materials still routinely find their way into landfills or into the sea. Hence, it is imperative that inexpensive and more efficient waste processing methods be ushered in to properly control the rising levels of trash produced by our cities, towns, and villages and make recycling more efficient.
Today, almost all household and non-toxic business trash is collected in plastic refuse bags. For sanitation reasons and consumer convenience, these plastic bags are specifically designed to resist breakage and degradation. However, because the refuse bags are designed to resist breakage, they are difficult to open during processing. Furthermore, the process of collecting, loading and unloading the refuse bags, breaking them open, and sorting and separating the trash into recyclable and non-recyclable materials at a waste processing facility is a very unpleasant and labor intensive task. Hence, many municipalities and waste management companies desire specialized machinery to aid waste processing workers in sorting and separating refuse.
Most of the household waste collected in refuse bags is soft matter. However, cans, bottles, and other recyclable products have a more solid structural integrity. In order to efficiently and effectively recycle these otherwise wasted products, it is necessary to maintain their structural integrity and prevent breakage. A bag breaking device that breaks or damages potentially recyclable containers only creates more unusable wastes that will eventually end up in the already overflowing landfills.
What is needed is a simple, low maintenance, efficient, and economical device to aid in the sorting and separating of refuse which preserves the fragile, potentially recyclable contents within the refuse bag.
The refuse bag opening apparatus of this invention opens bags for processing of the contents while minimizing damage to bottles, cans, and other recyclable items.
The device consists of a frame with a slidably engaged, vertically movable subframe assembly. A conveyor moves the refuse bags through the frame apparatus and under the subframe assembly. As the conveyor moves the stream of bagged refuse through the frame, an actuator moves the slidably engaged subframe downwardly toward the bags on the conveyor. Horizontally movable sleeves that have tines connected to them are similarly slidably engaged with the subframe. As the subframe descends, the tines puncture the refuse bags and push the potentially recyclable containers aside. Another set of actuators then moves the slidably engaged tined sleeves outwardly in opposite directions, tearing the refuse bags open and discharging the contents within. The subframe actuator then moves the subframe assembly upwardly away from the conveyor and the tined sleeve actuators move the sleeves inwardly back into their original position, ready to begin another puncturing and tearing cycle on the downstroke.
It is a feature of the present invention to provide a simple, low maintenance apparatus for opening refuse bags.
It is another feature of the present invention to provide an apparatus for efficiently and economically opening refuse bags and processing the refuse within the bags.
It is a further feature of the present invention to provide an apparatus for opening refuse bags without damaging the recyclable contents contained within the refuse bags.
Further objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of the bag opening apparatus of this invention at the beginning of a cycle.
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the apparatus of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the apparatus of FIG. 1 showing the subframe moving into a mid-cycle down position.
FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of the apparatus of FIG. 1 showing the tined sleeves moving outwardly along the shafts.
FIG. 5 is a bottom cross-sectional view of the apparatus of FIG. 2, taken along section line 2--2.
Referring more particularly to FIGS. 1-5, wherein like numbers refer to similar parts, a refuse bag opening apparatus 10 is shown in FIG. 1. Plastic bags of refuse are conveyed by a belt conveyor 14 through a frame 12. Tines mounted on a reciprocating subframe repetitively pierce the bags and withdraw. The tine impact path is configured to minimize crushing of recyclable materials.
The apparatus frame 12 is a rigid box-like structure which is composed of connected steel beams and members. Four square tubular steel corner posts 11 extend upwardly from a concrete foundation 13 which supports the weight of the entire apparatus 10. A belt conveyor 14 is positioned above the concrete foundation 13 and runs from front to rear through the corner posts 11. A horizontal lower member 15 extends between two corner posts 11 on each side of the conveyor 14. The lower members are positioned on the foundation 13 to provide increased stability for the apparatus 10. The corner posts 11 are connected by horizontal top members 16 and 17 which form a rectangular top frame. Two steel spacing blocks 19 are welded to the steel top members 16. The two spacing blocks 19 provide support for an overhead steel beam 18 to which is mounted an actuator 30.
The subframe assembly 20 is a rectangular box-like structure which has four square tubular vertical guide sleeves 25 which fit telescopically around the corner posts 11 of the apparatus 10 to permit vertically reciprocating motion. The subframe guide sleeves 25 are connected by two upper cross beams 24 and two lower cross-beams 26 which are parallel to the upper cross-beams. The upper cross beams 24 are joined by a central member 28. Two parallel rails 27 extend between the lower cross-beams 26.
The actuator 30, which is preferably hydraulic, but which may alternatively be pneumatic or mechanical, extends between the frame 12 and the subframe 20, and has ears 32 which are connected to the frame overhead beam 18 and a piston 34 which is connected to the subframe central member 28. The actuator 30 moves the subframe assembly 20 vertically with respect to the frame 12. Reciprocating motion of the actuator piston 34 causes the subframe to move from an elevated position spaced above the conveyor, and a lowered position in which tines 60 engage refuse bags 50.
Two tine assemblies 48 are mounted to the subframe rails 27 for reciprocating motion in a horizontal plane. Each tine assembly has two tubular steel sleeves 40 which slide telescopically on the parallel rails 27. The two sleeves 40 are connected by an attachment bar 45. Each tined sleeve 40 has two downwardly pointing sharp steel bar puncturing tines 60 connected to its underside. The steel tines 60 have an inclined downwardly facing point 64, which is formed by an inclined cutoff of the tine 60. The inclined surfaces of the points 64 of the tines 60 on the two tine sleeve assemblies 48 face toward one another.
The two tine assemblies 48 are caused to reciprocate toward and away from each other by hydraulic tine actuators 70 which are pivotally mounted by ears 74 to the subframe members 26. Each actuator 70 has an extendable piston 72 which is connected to the tine assembly attachment bars 45.
Municipal waste processing facilities receive many plastic refuse bags 50. The refuse bags are typically formed of thin sheet plastic and are closed by clips or tabs. Each bag is filled with a mixture of refuse, including paper products, plastic bottles, cans, and glass. A supply of refuse, including sealed bags 50 is advanced into the apparatus 10 by the conveyor 14 in a continuous stream from an unloading area.
The subframe 20 and the tine assemblies 48 are moved in a reciprocating pattern by a control mechanism (not shown) which may be a system of relays, a digital controller, or a simply mechanical arrangement. As shown in FIG. 2, the conveyor speed and the motion of vertical motion of the subframe are coordinated such that the bags 50 which enter the apparatus 10 are in position beneath the tines 60 long enough to be opened.
The conveyor 14 moves the refuse bags 50 through the apparatus 10 and into position within the frame 12 directly below the tine assemblies 48. The subframe actuator piston 34 extends downwardly to drive the subframe assembly 20 and the connected tine assemblies 48 downwardly toward the conveyor 14. As the subframe assembly 20 is lowered, the tined sleeves 40 and their connected tines 60 puncture the refuse bags 50 as shown in FIG. 3.
Once the tines 60 are engaged with the bags 50, the tine assembly actuators 70 operate to pull the tined sleeves 40 outwardly along the rails 27. As the tined sleeves 40 are pulled outwardly, the tines 60 that were inserted in the refuse bags 50 by the downstroke of the subframe assembly 20 rip open the refuse bags 50 and scatter their contents out onto the conveyor 14. This two step process of first piercing the bags and then tearing them open minimizes crushing impact of the tines on bottles and glass containers 62 within the bags 50. The angled points 64 of the tines also serve to displace large objects from the path of the tines as they descend, further contributing to retaining the integrity of recyclable articles within the bags 50.
When the tine assemblies 48 are moved horizontally, the tines 60 extend in a horizontal path, generally avoiding any crushing action on the bag contents, but thoroughly disrupting the bags 50. Glass, plastic, or metal containers 62 are more easily recycled if the containers remain unbroken during processing.
The conveyor 14 has a wall 85, best shown in FIG. 1, to prevent the trash contained within the refuse bags 50 from falling off of the conveyor and onto the processing plant floor 13 as the refuse bags are punctured and torn open by the tines 60.
After the pistons 72 of the tine actuators 70 have fully retracted, the subframe assembly actuator 30 retracts, thereby lifting the subframe 20 from the belt conveyor 14 back into the up position as shown in FIG. 2. On the upward travel of the subframe 20, both pistons 72 of the tine actuators 70 simultaneously extend to return the tine assemblies 48 to a central position for repetition of the cycle. The cycle will continue to repeat itself until the system is shut down by an operator.
Although hydraulic actuators 30 and 70 have been disclosed above, pneumatic, chain, pulley, gear, or belt actuators may also be employed. Other embodiments of the apparatus may have different tined sleeve 40 or tine 60 configurations. For example, four tined sleeves 40 may be mounted on each lower beam 27. Furthermore, additional or fewer tines may be connected to each sleeve. Also, the apparatus may have tines 60 wherein both sides come to a point in the middle rather than having one side longer than the other. Alternatively, the longer side of each tine may face inwardly instead of outwardly.
It should be noted that although a belt conveyor has been disclosed for advancing the refuse bags to be opened, other conveyors may also be employed, for example a steel link or vibratory conveyor, or, in cases where separation on the basis of size is desired, a bar screen or disk screen conveyor.
It is understood that the invention is not limited to the particular embodiments disclosed and illustrated herein, but embraces such modified forms thereof as come within the scope of the following claims.

Palm Hills (Japanese: アザラタウン Azara Town) is an anime-exclusive location found in between New Bark Town and Cherrygrove City.
A wealthy area of Johto, it is home to Madame Muchmoney and her Snubbull. When Ash and his friends visited Palm Hills, they met up with the Pokémon and its owner. They learned that Snubbull frequently ran away from its home, mostly because it was sick of being spoiled by Madame Muchmoney. Finally understanding how her Pokémon felt, she started to have a park area built for Snubbull to play, but it found an excuse to leave when Team Rocket showed up. It enjoyed biting down on Meowth's tail, much to his chagrin.
Although Snubbull ran away, Madame Muchmoney tracked it down after it had evolved into Granbull and convinced it to come back home with her.

One of Europe's most influential corporate governance activists will on Monday call on banks to scrap annual bonuses and drastically reduce pay in sweeping reform proposals that will add more pressure on boards to overhaul remuneration practices.
Hermes Equity Ownership Services, which advises pension funds, will urge banks to base future bonuses on three-to-five year performance instead of the annual period that is commonly used as economic yardstick for variable pay.
It will also demand banks should spend no more than a quarter of their revenues on staff pay instead of the 40 to 50 per cent that is widespread.
The proposals will be sent to bank directors this week in a move that highlights the way that shareholders, alongside regulators and politicians, are continuing to set bank boards' agenda on pay.
They come from an adviser with links to more than $120bn in investors' assets and is known for having forced through changes at large European companies from Siemens to Infineon.
This year pay had prompted investors to rebel at several banks' annual meetings – from Barclays to Citigroup and Credit Suisse – as they protested that banks spent too much on bonuses at the expense of shareholders.
"The money that governments intend the banks to use to rebuild their balance sheets has been in large part siphoned off into individuals' pockets," Paul Lee, Hermes' director of policy and product development, wrote in the position paper that accuses banks of "consistently gaming regulation".
"The simple fact is that compensation ratios are simply unacceptably high," he added.
The majority of banks in Europe and the US spend much more than a third of their revenues on pay, as staff costs typically make up the bulk of expenses in the service sector.
Last year UBS earmarked 56 per cent of its SFr27.8bn ($29.3bn) in revenues for salaries, bonuses and other staff costs, according to its annual report.
The Swiss bank is one in several banks including Barclays, Lloyds and Deutsche Bank that are examining wide-ranging overhauls of their pay structures that might incorporate some of Hermes' proposals.
"We have been talking to pretty much every large bank in the world about this," Mr Lee told the Financial Times.
In Europe, banks are forced by law to defer at least half of their variable pay, award no more than a quarter in cash and have clauses to withhold payments in case of wrongdoing or large losses caused by an individual employee.
But Hermes' proposals are seeking to refocus the attention from the timeframe of a bonus payout to the performance period that determines its size.
"At present the risk is that with annual performance still driving the bulk of incentive pay, it is still the annual horizon on which the individual focuses," Mr Lee said.

Microsoft vs Linux Reports - Sheer Waste Of Time?
The report released by Security Innovation Inc., an application security company, comparing Windows Server 2003 security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Enterprise Server (RHEL3ES) is very interesting in its own right. Just skimming through the report reveals a few discrepancies that question its credibility.
The main page briefing about the paper states:
"Results of Independent Research Project that Microsoft Windows Server 2003 has Fewer Security Flaws than Multiple Configurations of a Compatible Linux Server." While the researchers are clearly mentioning the Microsoft product the use the more generic term "Linux". Why generalize? It is hard to believe that these PhDs do not understand the relevance of this statement. Why couldn't they just be direct and mentioned "RHEL3ES?"
In the report:
"Aside from beliefs over the relative "security" of the closed versus Open Source development paradigms, another important contributing factor is that Microsoft develops and releases all the components in their Web server stack. This allows Microsoft more control over release cycles and vulnerability disclosures than the distributed development method."
This brings up a couple of interesting points. Firstly, according to them implementing multiple components (software) in an enterprise makes the overall system more vulnerable. Well, so we must expect enterprises to immediately take actions to ensure that ALL their ERP, SCM, CRM, and, of course, Web Servers are from a single vendor. Though we hate to repeat this but have they ever heard of something called "vendor lock-in".
Secondly, the report states that Microsoft has control over release cycles AND VULNERABILITY DISCLOSURES. Do they intend to say that the "days of risk" has been significantly affected by the fact that the vendor has control as to when the vulnerability will be disclosed?
A little later comes:
"Another factor which helps Microsoft in terms of average days of risk is that Microsoft strongly encourages a "responsible disclosure" policy - that is, the company attempts to carefully coordinate vulnerability announcement with fix announcement and actively build relationships with new security researchers."
It does seem that the report is trying to explain that the companies buying the Microsoft products are supposed to work closely with Microsoft to ensure that the vulnerability announcement and fix announcements are as close as possible to ensure that the "days of risk" are kept to a minimum. We sincerely hope that we got this one wrong.
Though a lot more can be analyzed in the report, it does appear that "independent" research seems to have been done (or should we say, written) by people who think that Enterprise IT Heads are a bunch of fools who have all the time on earth to read through tones of pages of deceptive analysis.

Peppermint 7 Released
Peppermint 7 launched a few days ago. Peppermint is a lightweight Ubuntu-based Linux distribution with an emphasis on speed and simplicity. Although the name is similar to Linux Mint, the projects aren't directly related. Peppermint originally was envisioned as a "spicier" alternative to Mint—whatever that means! Many distros come with a wide assortment of feature-rich applications, and that's great for power users who need those apps. But older machines can struggle to cope with those demanding distros. Peppermint solves the problem by offering a carefully curated suite of web apps that perform tasks traditionally handled by native apps. It's an approach that will be familiar to any Chromebook users reading this article.

Pakistan court releases list of journalists paid secretly
Islamabad: Pakistan`s apex court has released a list of journalists who were allegedly paid by the information ministry through its secret fund, a media report said.
The court released the names during the hearing of petitions by two private television channel anchors who had requested the court to probe the matter of media accountability and payments made to journalists by the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP)- led government in 2011-12.
The Supreme Court on Monday made public the list of journalists and media personnel, reported Dawn.
The list contains details of those expenditures for which the information ministry now does not claim privilege or secrecy.
The list of disbursements was uploaded on the apex court`s website. The disbursements total up to Rs.177.98 million.
The journalists in the list have not yet responded.
This is the first time that such a list has come into light.
The court last year sought information and froze the funds of the information ministry after the petitioners requested an end to the secret funds.
The Information Ministry had then denied the allegations.

Police shoot, kill man as he stabs daughter to death
Sources indicate that the father had been released from jail 3 days before the incident
The Indy Channel
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Police fatally shot a South Bend man while he was stabbing his 6-year-old daughter. She also died from her wounds.
Police arrived at the family's apartment about 5 a.m. Sunday. They forced themselves inside after hearing a girl screaming and found the man on top of his daughter, stabbing her repeatedly. The man died at the scene, WNDU-TV and WSBT-TV reported.
The 6-year-old girl later died at a hospital.
The father and daughter were later identified as Edward Mwaura and Shirley Mundia.
Neighbors tell WSBT the family is originally from Kenya and moved to South Bend area two years ago.
Assistant Commander Lt. Dave Wells of the Metro Homicide Unit in South Bend tell WNDU the girl's mother also suffered several lacerations and stab wounds, but is expected to survive.
A South Bend charter school leader is describing Mundia as sweet, quiet and hard-working.
Veritas Academy education director Germaine Smith says in a statement that Shirley Mundia had finished kindergarten last Thursday.
Smith says Shirley was always smiling, liked everyone and loved learning.
Smith says the academy's thoughts and prayers go out to the Mundia family.
Department of Child Services spokeswoman Stephanie McFarland says the agency did have contact with the family, but it was "some time ago." She says she couldn't provide further details because of privacy laws.

MINNEAPOLIS — Nearly 25% of General Mills Inc.'s U.S. Retail product sales during 2011 were made up of products with improved nutrition profiles, with most of the gains taking place from reducing trans fat and sodium, which each accounted for 26% of the fiscal 2011 improvement. The next largest gains came from adding vitamins and minerals (19%) and from increasing whole grain content (12%).
The improved health make-up of General Mills' products, along with updates on the community and environment efforts, was detailed in the company's "Global Responsibility 2012" report issued on April 3.
In 2005, only 16% of General Mills' U.S. Retail sales volume came from nutritionally improved products, but in its 2012 report the company noted 64% now comes from such products.
General Mills identified Lucky Charms as a cereal that was reformulated in 2011. The cereal now has 20% more fiber, 25% more whole grains and 10% less sodium than in fiscal 2010. Additionally, the cereal has 10 grams of sugar per serving — down from 12 grams in 2007.
On the whole grains front, General Mills said every Big G cereal has at least 9 grams of whole grain per serving, and whole grains are listed as the first ingredient on every Big G cereal, a fact the company said "is important to health-conscious consumers who look to the ingredient list to assess the nutritional value of the food they eat."
Since 2005, General Mills has reduced trans fat in more than 120 of its U.S. Retail products, and by the end of fiscal 2011 about 83% of the division's sales volume was comprised of products with zero grams labeled trans fat.
"Most flavors of Betty Crocker SuperMoist cake mixes, virtually all Pillsbury Toaster Strudel products and many Pillsbury Crescent varieties are among the products that have been reduced to zero grams of trans fat," the company said.
General Mills said it already has introduced several healthier new products in fiscal 2012, including Progress Reduced Sodium Tomato Parmesan soup, Gold Medal White Whole Wheat flour, Fiber One 80 Calories cereal, Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers Pasta and Vegetables with Alfredo Sauce, Yoplait Chocolate Banana Smoothie and Simply Fruit Rolls.
The company said it is nearing the halfway mark toward achieving three of its 2015 global sustainability goals: water, solid waste and packaging.
In water, the company is about 50% of the way to achieving a 20% reduction in its water usage rate and a 50% reduction in its solid waste generation rate. Meanwhile, the company said it has improved the packaging for 27% of its sales volume — more than halfway to its goal of 40%.

Samsung will invest $4bn to renovate Texas chip plant
To boost production of chips used in smartphones and tablets
KOREAN HARDWARE MAKER Samsung has said it will invest $4bn in renovating its chip factory in Austin, Texas.
Samsung will make the investment to refresh existing chip production and boost production of system chips widely used in smartphones and tablets, due to the growing demand for such devices.
The investment will be the largest ever single foreign investment in Texas and will bring Samsung's cumulative investments in Samsung Austin Semiconductor to over $13bn since it became operational in 1996.
As the world's second-largest chip maker after California based Intel, Samsung's big outlay will follow the firm's $22.1bn capital expenditure plan for 2012, with the bulk of it to be allocated to chip investment on existing production lines.
The news of the investment as well as the firm's capital expenditure this year signals Samsung's focus on growing its semiconductor division to compete against Intel and big Taiwanese chipmakers such as TSMC.
Samsung announced back in June that it will also invest just under $2bn over the next two years to build a new non-memory chip line in South Korea. µ

But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31, ESV
We often set goals in life, but how often to we evaluate and set goals in our spiritual life? Paul encourages us to make sure we keep our spiritual goals in mind, and that we cooperate with the Lord in achieving these goals for His glory.
Guest speaker Chris Miller, who is the camp manager at Sylvan Hills Christian Service Camp, shares with us from Deuteronomy 6 about the importance for leaving a legacy of faith to our future generations.
It is sometimes difficult to understand what God is doing as we journey through life. Just because we follow Jesus doesn't mean that we won't face the difficulties, struggles and pain of this life. Recognizing Who God is and His ability to use all of those things to shape who we are is critical to our peace in this life.
To love the people in our church community well, we must learn how to live generously toward them. The very first Christians showed us how it's done!
When Jesus saves us, God gives us each a spiritual gift that helps us to love one another by serving one another. What if all of us allowed our gifts to be used to love this church and this community?

Asian Games bid: IOA running out of time
New Delhi: India can bid for the 2019 Asian Games if the new union government taking office later this month takes a priority view and clears it to meet the July 1 deadline.
As things stand, it is highly unlikely the new government decides on such a major issue in a hurry, more so after the stink the 2010 Commonwealth Games raised with the alleged corruption in the run-up.
The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) hopes that it would meet the July 1 deadline to submit bids to the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) for the Games, but a top official told IANS that it would be tough to get the government assurances in such a short time.
The IOA wants the Games to be held in Delhi for the third time. The national capital had hosted the inaugural Games in 1951 and then in 1983. Delhi, which hosted the Commonwealth Games in 2010, had also unsuccessfully bid for the Asian Games in 2006 (Doha) and 2014 (Incheon, South Korea).
"First the IOA has to make an iron cast case to the new government for bidding. The sports ministry has to prepare a cabinet note studying the pros and cons. It all depends on the new sports ministry but given the fact that court cases related to corruption in the Commonwealth Games are still pending and it seems they would not take a hasty decision," the official told IANS on the condition of anonymity.
In 2010, the government, amidst charges of corruption in the run-up to the Commonwealth Games, had shot down IOA`s attempt to bid for the 2019 Asian Games.
But now India joined the race to bid for the Games after hosts Vietnam, who were awarded the Games in 2012, pulled out last month citing financial burden. Besides India, Indonesia and Qatar are also in race along with Malaysia-Singapore`s joint bid.
The IOA is yet to make a formal appeal to the government for clearances from the finance ministry, home ministry, planning commission and the Delhi government. What may also dampen IOA`s chances is that there is no elected government in Delhi, which is under president`s rule.

Engineer reaches deal over wall's failure
Relevant offers
Hawke's Bay
The collapse of a retaining wall designed by the engineer used by the Earthquake Commission (EQC) as its engineering authority has resulted in a $140,000 settlement.
According to court documents released by the Napier District Court, EQC engineer Graeme Robinson was sued by Havelock North couple Bernard and Frances Walsh last year over a stream retaining wall he designed. He also supervised its construction.
The case ended in a settlement late last year, with Mr Robinson's insurance company paying close to $140,000 to the Walshes. The documents show it initially offered $30,000.
Mr Robinson was involved in a raft of Christchurch cases in which he was accused of arrogance and substandard assessments. He is being investigated by the Institution of Professional Engineers.
He was withdrawn from EQC's front line and now trains engineers used by EQC. The commission previously said he was used to ensure it had "got everything exactly right from an engineering perspective". Mr Robinson has done more than 2500 assessments in Christchurch.
He was hired in 2005 to design a batter wall to protect and bolster the Mangarau stream bank below the Walshes' property. The original wall was damaged by floodwaters and EQC engaged Mr Robinson to design and oversee the appropriate remedial and preventive works.
The new wall was completed in December 2006 and started to collapse from October 2009, putting the Walshes' house at serious risk.
EQC refused to reinstate the wall designed by Mr Robinson because remedial work in 2006 did not comply with building laws.
Mr and Mrs Walsh alleged Mr Robinson:
Failed to carry out foundation checks or any formal design or engineering calculations.
Failed to ensure his design complied with the building code.
Failed to seek or obtain the necessary building and resource consents.
"This led to a retaining wall being designed and constructed that was substandard and unsafe, having a poor bearing capacity and an unacceptable factor of safety," they claimed.
They also said that before construction, Hawke's Bay Regional Council warned Mr Robinson of the failure of similarly designed constructions.
Mr and Mrs Walsh had to spend $14,000 on new engineering advice and estimated it would cost $80,000 to rebuild the wall.
In his court documents, Mr Robinson said he was engaged by EQC to remedy landslip damage and protect against imminent loss. He claimed the contractor who built the wall deviated from his design.
He had not sought building consents because he did not regard the works as a retaining wall, he submitted.
"I advised the need for further work at the upstream end of the batter which the plaintiff addressed directly with the contractor. That work caused the failure," he claimed in court documents.
The documents reveal the Walshes responded by saying the additional work was not structural and simply tied the works back to the existing stream bank. It had no bearing on the failure.
They also responded to Mr Robinson's claim that they had got the contractor to increase the steepness of the batter, saying Mr Robinson had approved the variation.
The Walshes denied having any input into the gradient of the wall.
Mr Robinson did not respond to email messages.

Blog: SABMiller Takes Holy Approach with St Stefanus
Chris Mercer | 27 October 2011
SABMiller's abbey beer, St Stefanus, was officially launched in the UK last night and, while I don't want to trivialise any of the effort involved, it is probably best described as a bit of an experiment.
Van Steenberge's master brewer, Jef Versele, first became aware of SABMiller's interest in his brewery via a Swizterland-based intermediary, who visited him in Ghent, eastern Belgium. The mystery Swiss visitor showed a keen interest in all things Abbey beer. Negotiations followed and SABMiller bagged itself international distribution rights on what is essentially Van Steenberge's Augustijn beer - only it has been renamed St Stefanus outside of Belgium.
It's a curious deal in some ways, but it makes logical sense in others. The swoop for Van Steenberge (although the brewery remains independent) certainly confused a few beer bloggers, along the lines of: 'Multinational Beer Baddie in Genuine Quality Beer Deal Shocker'.
However, SABMiller does not have a Belgian 'abbey' beer, unlike its two greatest rivals on the world beer circuit. Anheuser-Busch InBev has Leffe and Heineken has Grimbergen. And, everyone knows that craft beers are selling reasonably well in several shrinking, western beer markets.
SABMiller is a little late to this whole abbey beer gig. Still, the group is developing a knack of arriving on a scene in the UK with a slightly holier-than-though approach. It has carefully distributed Peroni Nastro Azzurrro in the UK so as not too garner a lager lout image. St Stefanus, meanwhile, is on very select distribution and, initially, will only be in the on-trade and in bottles. There is a plan for a limited draught launch, I understand.
A natural advantage for SABMiller is that the UK is not as important to the brewer's overall business as it is to, say, A-B InBev. It can, therefore, pick its battles.
This is all sounds good, but surely such limited scale won't generate much profit? Afterall, SABMiller is not in business for kicks, but rather to make returns for shareholders. Well, the brewer's new UK MD, Gary Haigh, told me that the firm is "planting acorns" by launching St Stefanus so selectively. The brand is not moving the profits dial yet, but it is expected to gain what marketers call 'critical mass' over time.
Versele presented his beer to SABMiller's exec prior to yesterday's launch. It would have been fascinating to see. SABMiller's veteran CEO, Graham Mackay, has been heard to describe many craft brewers as a lifestyle choice, rather than serious business outfits.
Mackay, though, has a shrewd head for business. The board clearly sees leverage in marketing a niche beer at a time when consumer tastes in developed markets are becoming more and more fragmented. The risk is relatively small, precisely because the volume numbers are low and SABMiller has laid down zero capital by leaving Van Steenberge as an independent business.
How many more tie-ups will we see structured like this, I wonder? It will be interesting to see how St Stefanus develops.
As for whose abbey beer is the oldest...
Well, firstly, it's all about when the abbey was built rather than when the brewing started. But, on this basis, Grimbergen dates its abbey at 1128, more than 100 years earlier than Leffe and St Stefanus, which date theirs back to a mere 1240 and 1295 respectively.
