When the schedule is the client’s top priority

-
In some projects, the main challenge isn’t technical complexity. It’s the schedule. When schedules become critical, engineering teams need to shift their mindset: make decisions earlier, accept uncertainty and rely on shared performance. As such, engineering becomes a process of making choices, striking compromises and managing risks, both technical and human. Below are three key questions addressed by Hugo Careau, P.Eng., Decarbonization, and Ulric Chayer, P.Eng., Department Manager, Mechanical Engineering.

02 Aug 2024The extraction of natural resources is growing at an unbridled rate. So much so that the United Nations' International Resource Panel of experts, in its Global Resources Outlook 2024 report, calls for “urgent and concerted action” to slow the pace. If nothing is done, researchers estimate that this trend could increase by 60% by 2060, jeopardizing progress toward the sustainable development goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015.Recycling: a cornerstone of decarbonization

18 Jun 2024Mining and MetalsMeeting regulatory requirements when carrying out exploration work can be a real challenge for Québec’s dynamic mining industry. Effective May 6, 2024, a new regulatory requirement has added another hurdle for industry operators. These regulations, under the Mining Act, are intended to provide a more stringent framework for mineral exploration activities to ensure environmental and social concerns are duly addressed.The Québec mining sector: a new regulatory requirement as of May 2024

21 May 2024Émile Jacques, Director – Health, Safety and Environment at BBA, raises a pertinent question: “In health and safety, it's often said that you need to focus fully on your task to reduce risks. Yet, how do you do that when personal or professional challenges are overtaking your thoughts?” Companies are becoming more and more involved in psychological health and safety, but this requires big changes because it’s been assumed for so long that personal problems should stay at home. To wrap up Mental Health Week and Safety and Health Week, let's take this opportunity to reflect on workplaces that support and nurture people through life's ups and downs.Psychological health and safety: working toward a culture of support, trust and openness -

25 Mar 2024Mining and MetalsNitrogen compounds can be generated during mining operations and must be properly managed because of their potential harmful effects on aquatic life and human health. For example, nitrogen compounds can be released into the atmosphere when explosives are detonated or accumulated in ground water when explosive residues leach out. This liquid fraction is usually more problematic and requires special attention.

12 Dec 2023Power and RenewablesIn the pursuit of creating secure, adaptable and resilient workplaces, health and safety (H&S) practices are undergoing a transformation. Recognizing the need for more dynamic strategies, organizations are working to shape a proactive and employee-focused H&S culture. Over the last decade, we’ve seen a catalyst for change emerge: H&S plans now serve as instrumental tools, enabling companies to skillfully protect their most valuable asset—people. This blog article explores innovative practices that are reshaping H&S for a secure work environment, which aligns with the ESG framework and emphasizes corporate responsibility. Beyond ensuring safety, this new approach also prioritizes employee development and well-being in organizational strategies.Empowering health and safety: leveraging resilience and innovation in workplace
