Power generating stations: a wealth of opportunity

This article appeared in the May 2018 edition of the French publication Ressources Mines et Industrie. Times are changing. We are increasingly having to move further away from inhabited areas to explore such precious metal deposits as gold, which also means moving away from power distribution infrastructures. With the cost of power sources continuing to increase, environmental considerations are taking on growing importance.

Is your control system ground in good working condition?

It’s difficult to answer this question without proper measurements. However, we know that industries are losing millions of dollars yearly due to unplanned shutdowns related to communication disruptions created by ground loop currents.

The challenge of refurbishing hydroelectric generating stations

Although new hydroelectric generating stations are still being built all around the world, and a number of projects for future generating stations are being studied, the vast majority of stations now in operation were built over 20 years ago, and some even date back more than 50 years. There are numerous factors that make refurbishing these generating stations inevitable, the most obvious being equipment wear, fouling of pipes and greater maintenance requirements.

Everything you need to know about 3D laser scanning

A number of problems can come up when carrying out conventional site surveys. Obstacles include limited access, measurement accuracy dependent on the instrument used, hard-to-reach areas, and the risk of overlooking certain measurements. As a result, a detailed survey can be a long and costly endeavour-not to mention that current plans are not always available!
