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.

04 Sep 2019Power and RenewablesMedium and high-voltage electrical equipment found in substations and industrial facilities need DC power in order to provide uninterrupted power to emergency systems, to protection devices and, in some cases, to computer systems and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). If a power outage occurs, batteries can reliably supply uninterrupted DC power that is independent of your AC power system.Stationary batteries: Will yours work when you need them?

22 Apr 2019Mining and MetalsGovernment representatives can ask to conduct a plant inspection—a request that may worry facility owners. This article discusses air quality management and will inform you on how inspections are carried out and what you can do to ensure your facilities comply with government air quality standards. A number of things can prompt the Ministère de l’Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques (MELCC) to undertake a plant inspection, including citizen complaints. Close to 70% of complaints from the public have to do with problems about odours or dust.What to do during an inspection by the Ministère de l'environnement
