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.

Operating remotely: intelligent distributed optimization (IdO) to get the most from your technological tools

One of the major challenges associated with remote sites is the difficulty of ensuring qualified personnel are present to ensure optimal operation. Lack of strong technical leadership can compromise operational performance. This deficiency could have greater consequences during commissioning. As such, it may appear worthwhile to use specialized data analysis software that automates performance monitoring and problem detection.
