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.

11 Aug 2021Power and RenewablesProject managers want to ensure their work complies with Québec’s Environment Quality Act (EQA), but recent changes are making them face major challenges. In fact, the EQA update and the enactment, in December 2020, of the Regulation respecting the regulatory scheme applying to activities on the basis of their environmental impact (REAFIE) have radically changed how activities are supervised subject to ministerial authorization under section 22 of the Act. Remember that the REAFIE classifies proposed activities according to their level of environmental risk. So, under certain conditions, activities may be entitled to a statement of compliance or exempt from an authorization. So, how do you figure it out?Project compliance with environmental laws: Why is the initial approach important? -

02 Mar 2021Mining and MetalsA mining dam safety review is a legislated periodic review. Mining dams are classified according to their potential consequences of failure, which may be experienced in their lifetime. As such, this safety review must be conducted at least every five years for dams that are classified as “significant”, “high”, “very high” or “extreme” under the Mining Act and in accordance with Canadian Dam Association (CDA) guidelines (2007, 2013). Existing regulations in the province where the dam is located must also be taken into account. For example, the Legislated Dam Safety Reviews in BC (2016) published by Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia (EGBC) provides guidelines of professional practice for engineers who carry out dam safety reviews in British Columbia.Mining dam safety review
