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.

27 May 2021Power and RenewablesEarth observation is performed using images captured by satellites that are equipped with optical or radar sensors and serves a variety of purposes. In the last decade, there has been a significant increase in the number of satellites that monitor the Earth’s surface. Today, nearly 2,600 satellites are orbiting the Earth, of which more than 400 are capturing images of the Earth’s surface. An astronomical quantity of data is produced daily, because many of them have a high number of sensors and a short revisit frequency. This massive data availability makes it possible to carry out studies on the temporal evolution of land use and coverage. The massive quantity of satellite images, however, makes analysis by photo interpretation very laborious, if not impossible. Various techniques have been developed in recent years to try to automate these analysis tasks. One of the leading techniques relies on artificial intelligence (AI).Earth observation boosted by artificial intelligence

20 Apr 2021Power and RenewablesIn an increasingly connected world, managing massive amounts of data, or big data, is a major driving force of the economy. Today, it is easier to access thanks to several technologies that have made it possible to extract, organize and centralize the data to make it quickly accessible throughout the organization. For most businesses, the real challenge today is to clearly outline the actions that need to be taken based on the collected data and making the right decisions as a result.Data science serving business

22 Mar 2021Mining and MetalsIn a previous blog article, we discussed the mining dam safety review. This article focuses on assessing and categorizing the risks of dam failure. Remember that mining dams are classified according to their potential consequences of failure, whether downstream or upstream of the structure. The term “consequences” refers to the damage above and beyond that which would have occurred in the same event or conditions had the dam not failed. The consequence of failure of a mining dam that contains liquefiable solids can be greater than those for the same dam containing only water. Although tailings and liquefiable solids may travel a shorter distance than water, the material can act as a viscous fluid with a high specific gravity that can cause more physical and environmental damage than water alone. Removal of released solids and clean-up could be costly, impractical and impossible in some cases, for example in densely forested areas or water bodies.Risks associated with mining dam failure
