When the schedule is the client’s top priority
Insights
-
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.

06 Oct 2017Power and RenewablesEnergy saving initiatives can be used to reduce operating costs for industrial facilities. However, a careful assessment must be made before selecting proper solutions. In practice, there are no “one-size-fits-all” solutions to save on electricity costs. A proactive approach to energy management is often recommended since the electric power industry is constantly changing. Long-term energy management strategies should be reviewed yearly to identify new energy saving opportunities.Revisiting electrical energy saving initiatives for industrial facilities

06 Jun 2017Mining and MetalsA typical mining production line includes ore extraction, ore processing and shipping concentrate to refineries. These mining facilities have multiple sub-processes; each is highly complex and depends on the proper operation of the other to produce high quality concentrate. Efficient management of intraprocess and interprocess interactions ensures solid performance at mining facilities.Design and mining simulations
