Cette recherche a pour objectif d’améliorer les connaissances entourant le potentiel énergétique des mines à ciel ouvert abandonnées et inondées. Les mécanismes de transfert de chaleur susceptibles d’affecter la performance des systèmes géothermique seront étudiés. La ressource géothermique de basse température permet non seulement aux utilisateurs de bénéficier de retombées économiques, mais aussi de réduire […]

Rising material costs, lack of quality control, labour shortages, challenging climates and significant on-site waste continue to be the challenges encountered by the Canadian construction industry. The collaboration between the research team and NEXII aims to develop the much-needed technical know-how for the new generation building panel products to address these challenges. This research concentrates […]

Le projet vise à comprendre le processus de mise en production des poutrelles, d’identifier les variables qui influencent la décision de mise en production et de prédire cette décision chez le groupe Canam pour contribuer à la mise en place d’un système intelligent pour l’automatisation de la mise en production des poutrelles. Il s’agit également […]

Transport infrastructures are the backbone of our society and bridges are the bottleneck of the transport network. Climate change resulting in higher corrosion rates, and extreme climatic events are important threats to the reliability and safety of the transport network. This has led to growing concerns for the remaining service life of infrastructure under normal […]

Excess water in the road base can lead to damage to roads from several mechanisms including decreasing stiffness of road base, freeze-thaw cycles, and swelling/shrinking of subgrades in expansive soils. Reducing the time that a pavement system is saturated is known to increase the lifespan of roads. Recent innovative geosynthetic products can further remove water […]

The increased pressure of natural resource depletion and environmental issues have largely promoted the search for renewable energy sources such as solar energy. Solar heating systems that use air or fluid to transfer the heat energy from solar irradiation to the indoor environment have surfaced as green solutions with high energy conversion efficiency (70%). However, […]

Mitacs Accelerate has funded the first year of the Precast Design Studio. In this second and third year, the Mitacs intern, Chadia Uwamahoro, will conduct experiments on conventional horizontal connections to understand their cyclic behavior. The test setup and the experimental data will advance the scientific knowledge on the cyclic response of precast concrete shear […]

La conception et le développement des plateformes drone hydrographique de surface à faible coûts sont pleinement insérés dans les efforts déployés par la communauté Hydrospatiale pour la génération d’un jumeau numérique des océans et des zones côtières. Une telle plateforme se veut versatile. Ainsi, différents professionnels pourront bénéficier d’une telle plateforme pour les levés en […]

Organizations are trying to manage their waste streams using circular economy principles to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Without proper assessment, organizations that follow a standard waste hierarchy often lack proper awareness and understanding about the amount of GHG emissions individual options actually reduce. They can use sophisticated (and systems thinking) approaches such as life […]

With surging business requirements during the busy season, we need one intern where it can be an avenue to apply the knowledge he learned from the academe thru hands on training which is an opportunity for growth and greater understanding of the business process. By collaboration, the intern will also have a chance to share […]

Internship for Project Coordinating and Project Management of a Mechanical Contractor. This will give the to be determined intern lots of experience, along with learning some updated practices from the intern that we can introduce to our current model.

The cornerstone of North American Construction Group(NACG) is the fleet of heavy equipment management. It is imperative that NACG are diligent in keeping it in top shape and operating without un-scheduled failures. To that end, NACG have a system within ERP for creating and maintaining maintenance schedules. The business has identified a bottleneck and potential […]
