A while ago, I realized that our Vancouver 3D scanning team was seeking a solution to convert point cloud data into 3D meshed surfaces. This conversion process has many benefits and is part of an industry wide growth. Some of these benefits include providing designers with a better understanding of scanned elements, enhancing visualization, enabling surface reconstruction, reducing data size, facilitating editing and processing, improving interoperability with other tools and applications and presenting final 2D and 3D drawings in a more optimal format.

Ingenious women – Julia Gartley

The thing that convinced me that engineering was for me was the instant connection I had with my colleagues right from my early days in university. I’m not sure if it's the complexities of engineering, but there’s a great deal of knowledge sharing and an exceptional level of mutual support. Everyone works together, so everyone gets better.

Slurry pipe sanding: BBA approach for load case design criteria in brownfield projects

This blog article is intended to explain verification methods for slurry piping systems that are subject to periodic sanding. These methods ensure proper engineering for operational safety without overdesigning. While designing slurry piping systems, establishing one specific design criteria may come to the forefront: how to adequately evaluate weight increase in a sanded pipe and which average slurry specific gravity (SG) to use. BBA recently came across this situation on one of its brownfield projects. This is presented as a case study herein.

Ingenious women – Angela Hsu

''There were three things that influenced my journey into engineering. First, I grew up watching my father tinkering, and he passed on his love of hands-on work to me as well as his curiosity about the things around us. Then, in high school, the FIRST team came to my school, and I was thrilled by the technical aspects of it, but also by how cool robotics is. Finally, I’m a real sci-fi fan and in Star Trek: Voyager, the chief engineer was a smart and confident woman. It may sound funny, but she was the first female engineering role model I had, and she was the one who helped me see myself as an engineer.
