WSP – Canada a été mandaté par le Millenium Challenge Corporation (MCC) pour offrir ses services d’ingénierie très spécialisés dans le cadre d’un don à la Côte d’Ivoire de l’ordre de 500 millions de dollars US, pour plusieurs projets d’infrastructures dont des projets routiers. En effet, la route constitue un vecteur de développement économique très […]

In this project, we aim to apply the Time-Reversal (TR) principle to locate sound sources in a reverberant environment using a small hemispherical microphone array. Previously, sound source localization has been demonstrated using TR and a hemispherical array where all sources were located inside the hemisphere – however, the feasibility of using a smaller hemispherical […]

Currently, no Canadian-based companies are involved in the manufacturing of state-of-the-art research tools for atomic layer deposition (ALD). Angstrom Engineering is a leading manufacturer of similar technologies – physical vapour deposition and chemical vapour deposition – and have identified an opportunity to produce the first ALD research tool manufactured entirely in Canada. ALD is a […]

Steep creek hazards such as debris flows and debris floods pose a considerable risk to mountain communities and infrastructure. Relative to other geohazards, debris flows and debris floods are particularly hazardous because they travel rapidly, provide minimal warning and occur frequently. In Canada, professionals have little experience with debris-flow risk reduction due to limited development […]

Current UV technology used to disinfect drinking water and wastewater is energy intensive, hazardous, and bulky; and the advent of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit in the ultraviolet (UV) range provides a unique opportunity to rethink how we design and implement disinfection technology. The overall objective of this project is to investigate the how […]

When light interacts with matter, different effects may take place, depending on the particular characteristics of both light and matter. The result of this interaction, typically a quantitative change in the characteristics of the light (i.e., intensity, wavelength, phase), can be used to measure the presence of a particular specimen of interest. Specifically, Surface-enhanced Raman […]

Project will see the calibration and characterization of a next-generation spectrometer for advancing both atmospheric research and the Canadian space community by providing instruments for atmospheric research for UAVs and nanosatellites. Calibrating these spectrometers will give the science community a new way to monitor atmospheric gases such as greenhouse gas or pipeline leaks with the […]

The new generation of complex composites structures that will be developed by Hutchinson and its partners will integrate several functions, as esthetic interior panel, acoustic, thermal and vibration isolation, in addition to mechanical and robustness contribution brought by the integrated structure. These new technologies will allow to reduce the amount of parts, and also to […]

Bombardier Aerospace intends to develop novel human-machine interfaces for their next generation business aircrafts sold to corporations or high-net worth individuals. Intensive research is expected to define, develop, integrate, and evaluate the performance of new interface concepts that will allow the passengers to most comfortably interact with the Cabin Management System (CMS), control their environment […]

With the increased demand for electric power and the need to reduce green house gas emission, newer power plants (fossil fuel or nuclear based) are being designed with elevated turbine inlet temperature to improve thermodynamic efficiencies and achieve other benefits. The much severe operating conditions (than that in the existing power plants) presents great challenges […]

This project focuses on the development of Electric Conductive Concrete (ECC) pavements which can efficiently reduce the cost of snow removal of Quebec. Recent research has proven that temperature regulated pavements can melt snow and ice. By taking advantage of all latest technology in conductive inclusions, the project aims will develop an optimized ECC mix […]
