Stormflow Surfacing (SS) has developed permeable rubber pavement (SSPRP) from recycled automobile tires. Their product focuses on alleviating sewage system stress during precipitation events. While there are no strict guidelines to the formulation of permeable pavers, SS is interested in proactively establishing baseline values for water quality and subsequently, investigate the effects of environmental factors […]

The Nicola River as many parts of British Columbia were hit by major floods in November 2021. These floods caused massive bank erosion and channel widening in the Nicola River. Floods are generally thought be important driver in changing the shape of a river as the high energy of floods can move large particles in […]

L’optimisation des opérations dans les entrepôts constitue une composante importante dans une démarche de réduction des coûts et par conséquent d’augmentation de la compétitivité des entreprises. Le bon fonctionnement des grands centres de distribution est basé sur leur capacité à réduire le temps de réception et d’expédition des commandes. Dans le contexte du problème étudié […]

Natik just recently moved to a new ERP System to keep up with the demands of Natik’s growth. Some practices we follow may not be applicable or efficient with the new system. The Project Management module is in the new ERP system thus Purchase Order system is online which we expect could help us keep […]

Due to the lack of design procedures and inherent limitations associated with the use of glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement in earthquake-resistant structures, GFRP reinforcement is currently limited to non- seismic concrete components, such as gravity columns or slabs. The goals of the partnership are to advance the behavior and design of GFRP-RC structures under […]

Le projet vise à développer une méthodologie pour créer un matériau de fondation de chaussée en utilisant des matériaux recyclés tels que des granulats bitumineux recyclés (GBR) et du béton de ciment recyclé (BC). Cette utilisation de matériaux recyclés présente de nombreux avantages, notamment la préservation des ressources naturelles et la réduction des matières résiduelles. […]

This research project aims to revolutionize construction cost estimation by developing machine learning models for automating residential cost estimation in a prefabricated building company. The project focuses on two goals: creating a revenue forecasting system for business intelligence and automating core processes in the cost estimation department for efficiency and accuracy. The project involves comprehensive […]

Solaris is a growing business which supplies and installs outdoor livings solutions to builders and homeowners. In the transition from a small to midsize business many of our systems need to be evaluated and updated. This project will assist Solaris in addressing challenges we will face as a growing organization. During this project the intern […]

In recent years, ultra-high-performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has gained ground in bridge construction and infrastructure. The tensile behaviour of UHPFRC that effectively limits crack propagation and minimizes the width of cracks, resulting in enhancement of the structure’s strength and durability is of utmost interest. However, the fast, easy, and reliable characterization of this property […]

Actuellement, plusieurs acteurs de l’industrie de la construction utilisent des approches intégrées sans référence afin de bien conduire ces processus à des résultats optimaux. Par conséquent, le Centre d’études et de recherches pour l’avancement de la construction au Québec (CERACQ) aimerait combler ce vide par la diffusion d’un guide de conception intégrée. Ainsi, un guide […]

Canada’s construction industry plays a crucial role in the country’s economy, but it also generates a significant amount of waste, with much of its value lost when materials reach their end of life. This research project, being conducted in collaboration with CSA Group, will develop a strategic framework for the circular built environment in Canada. […]
