01 jun 2026En algunos proyectos, el principal desafío no es la complejidad técnica, sino los plazos. Cuando los plazos se vuelven críticos, los equipos de ingeniería deben cambiar su enfoque: anticipar decisiones, aceptar la incertidumbre y apoyarse en un desempeño compartido. En este contexto, la ingeniería pasa a ser un proceso de toma de decisiones, equilibrio entre compromisos y gestión de riesgos, tanto técnicos como humanos. A continuación, Hugo Careau, P.Eng., Descarbonización, y Ulric Chayer, P.Eng., gerente de departamento, ingeniería mecánica, abordan tres preguntas clave.Cuando los plazos son la prioridad del cliente

02 dic 2021Energía Eléctrica y RenovablesProducing metal powder involves extremely complex challenges regardless of end-uses such as 3D printing or manufacturing lithium batteries or electronic components. This is due to the nature of the product, the quality required on the market, and the regulatory constraints affecting its production and transportation. Note: The occupational health and safety (OHS) risks surrounding metal power production are the only ones addressed here; quality risks are discussed in a separate article.Metal powder production: OHS risks first!-

30 sept 2021Otras IndustriasToxicity—and especially acute toxicity—is one of the key regulatory compliance criteria for mine effluents discharged into the environment. In Quebec, maximum concentrations are established under Directive 019 issued by the province’s Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, while federally they are set by Canada’s Metal and Diamond Mining Effluent Regulations (SOR/2002-222). But the issue isn’t just about ensuring regulatory compliance. Releasing toxic effluent into the environment can also have a significant impact on a company’s reputation.What influences mine effluent toxicity? -
