This project will support a Master’s UNB student to investigate the impact of including pyrolysis products (bio-oil and biochar) in asphalt mixtures by designing asphalt mixes that meet the requirements set for pavement applications. The use of carbon-rich bio-oil and biochar; could positively impact the properties and rate of oxidation of asphalt materials. Also, the […]

The Farmers’ Truck is a social enterprise offering products and services that empower organizations to address the lack of fresh food access in their communities. The Farmers’ Truck is developing a program which will be addressing these three challenges that NGOs face in our innovative program. The intern will map out the process of adoption […]

This project focusses on the modernization of energy system modelling with considerations for greater levels of sustainable energy and carbon-neutral footprints.

In recent decades, the number of wild Atlantic Salmon returning to rivers of Eastern Canada has declined to unprecedented lows. One conservation effort by the Gespe’gewaq Mi’gmaq Resource Council (GMRC) was the construction of various sedimentation basins on Little Main Restigouche near Saint Quentin (NB). These basins are designed to prevent potato fields sediment from […]

Scaffolding, as a type of temporary structure on construction sites, provides access for trades to certain areas for performing construction activities. Depending on project sizes, the budget for scaffolding can account for a substantial amount of the total direct work budget. Failure to the management of scaffolding activities can result in cost overrun and schedule […]

To meet its energy obligations, NB Power uses a generation portfolio comprised of thermal, nuclear, and renewables sources such as wind and hydro. The fuel cost incurred by the corporation to generate electricity represents one of its largest expenditures. NB Power is subject to numerous factors that can affect its future financial projections. It currently […]

The steel industry in Canada encounters some challenges to have sustainable and efficient steel production. One of these challenges is identifying bottlenecks accurately in steel fabrication workstations. The goal of the proposed research project is to improve work productivity for the partner company (Ocean Steel). The research work included conducting a literature review to evaluate […]

Prefabricated construction, as an alternative to the traditional stick-built construction, has its advantages in shortening the schedules and reduce onsite construction exposure. The prefabricated construction components are often produced in offsite controlled environment and shipped to site for installation. Due to its similarity to manufacturing, prefabricated construction provides opportunities for continuous productivity improvements. Through such […]

Presently the Ocean Mapping Community is spending a lot of time manually cleaning the raw sonar survey files. If this cleaning process is done by an Artificial Intelligence system as clean as a human would do, this could be transforming the entire Ocean Mapping community. Therefore, we propose a novel solution of using an Artificial […]

Prefabricated and modular construction has gained popularity compared to traditional stick-built construction, due to its benefits of shortened schedule, increased safety, benefits to the environment, and minimization of an unpleasant outdoor construction activities. In typical prefabricated construction, the building construction project is designed and converted into shop drawings for manufacturing purposes, which are conducted manually […]

Automated production lines use in food, beverage and pharmaceutical manufacture can subject the product being produced and especially the product packaging to high levels of mechanical stress. These stresses can take many forms, be it impact, side pressure, vertical pressure, etc. Plant quality assurance engineers are constantly making adjustments to their automated systems to reduce […]
