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.

14 Sep 2021Power and RenewablesThe frequency of cyber attacks and compromises impacting critical infrastructure, such as pipelines, water treatment plants and power transmission grids, is on the rise. Based on this, the question is no longer whether my organization can be compromised, but rather when will it be compromised.Do you have an incident response plan for your industrial control systems?-

At some stage in its lifetime, a purely economic decision will have to be made as to whether to refurbish or simply replace the transformer. Before refurbishing the transformer, it is best to be well prepared.Fluid-filled transformer refurbishment: points to monitor

03 Mar 2021Power and RenewablesMany operators are not prepared for the changing cyber threats commonly encountered today. Unlike IT systems that can be easily refreshed and patched, industrial control system (ICS) assets face other unique challenges and solutions. Assessments for cyber risks of enterprise IT environments are relatively mature and many industry standards can be used. Unfortunately, cyber risk assessments for ICS environments are still far from maturity. Many companies are unfamiliar with the cyber-related vulnerabilities, threats and risks to their field operations.Industrial control system (ICS) cybersecurity risk methodology webinar
