The importance of hydrogeology when building infrastructures

All too often, during construction projects or infrastructure development, we discover problems managing excessive quantities of water during the excavation phase. This type of issue occurs when the water table is shallow and when soils or bedrock are permeable. These significant water volumes and flows are mostly unexpected and often left to the contractor to deal with. In addition to complicating daily construction site management, this can negatively affect schedules and budgets. In the end, work quality can suffer, for example, with inadequate installation of the waterproofing membrane under the foundation. In some cases, a dewatering system must be installed to permanently drawdown the water table. This problematic situation can be easily be managed upstream by integrating a comprehensive and adequate hydrogeological component into the preliminary geotechnical and environmental studies. All too often, the hydrogeological component in these types of studies is neglected and consists only of a simple approximation of the water table depth.

Railway tracks: overview of electrical interference

At first sight, railway tracks do not seem to pose any electrical concerns. Nevertheless, they can be prone to many types of electrical interference that could affect people, equipment or the surrounding environment. This blog article covers the main types of interference that can occur on non-electrified and electrified railway tracks.

3D video: an essential tool for mining and industrial projets

All types of mining or industrial projects often experience financing challenges because of their visual and environmental impacts. Companies would be better served by designing a 3D conceptual image of their future facilities to improve the social acceptability of their projects. This would enable them to proactively demonstrate to the communities involved what the final project would look like and how it would fit into its environment, which in turn would make it easier to answer stakeholder questions. The Industrial Infrastructures team from the Earth and Infrastructure discipline now offers this service, which also aligns with our goal of continuously improving our skills and the services we offer to clients.

Patch management for industrial systems

Teams specialized in information technology (IT) must perform and apply a growing number of updates and patches. Patch management becomes even more critical and complex when it applies to industrial control systems, where IT and operational technology (OT) converge. This blog article will explain the differences between patch management for industrial control systems and for corporate systems.
