Le projet d’intervention s’inscrit dans une démarche de recherche scientifique en relations industrielles et a pour but de trouver des solutions concrètes pour améliorer les relations au travail au sein de l’entreprise Tecnickrome Aéronautique. Parmi les domaines d’intervention envisagés : le climat social et la communication interne entre les différentes parties prenantes. S’agissant d’un contexte […]

The purpose of the research project is to identify the main soil types found within the FortisBC Electric service territory and identify the best alternatives for power pole installations within each soil type. This information will be made readily available to power line designers for use when selecting the foundation alternative during the design process […]

Trojan Technologies provides UV-based technologies for water, wastewater and reuse wastewater treatment. This proposal is directed towards optimizing and developing the validation protocols for UV systems provided by Trojan. The study results will expand Trojan’s ability to provide more holistic and sustainable reactors for water/wastewater treatment as well as expand the polychromatic UV market. From […]

Concrete—the most common construction material globally—represents the main component of construction. Cement production and its use in concrete as a binder are among the highest carbon dioxide producing processes, thereby contributing to climate change. Any decrease in carbon emissions from construction will help improve the industry’s long-term sustainability and help the environment. One potential solution […]

To date, integrating fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars as a valuable option as internal reinforcement for concrete members has gained significant interest in the construction industry, due to their corrosion resistance and high tensile strength-to-weight ratio. The use of hollow reinforced concrete (RC) columns (HCCs) instead of solid columns has increased in the construction of bridges […]

The impacts of climate change on source and receiving water quality are estimated to be profound. Climate change adaptation requires an anticipatory reaction across the water community to address design approaches to manage water quality and treatment costs into the future. The consideration of climate change in design is only recently gaining the attention of […]

CMCI is an indigenous-owned business that works closely with First Nation’s members and corporations. Through our industry association, we learned of the significant disadvantages of traditional gravel runways in Northern Canada and how it adversely impacts access to remote communities, SAR capabilities and artic security. In this project we will work on developing a new […]

A challenge that we’re starting to run into is fulfilling our marketing strategy to its full capacity and capabilities with the size of our team. With an additional team member, we’ll be able to deliver the full scope of our marketing strategy from idea to complete execution. Adding a marketing associate to our team will […]

In order to address the growing need for urban composting of organic matter, Bomford Studios has successfully created a working prototype putrescent organics processing unit (the Loki Digester), which breaks down organic matter into fertilizer suitable for both gardens and large-scale farms. Working with Camosun Innovates, Bomford intends to create a more robust, user-friendly, and […]

The intern will work with Deneschuk Homes and the academic supervisor to Implement new software for the business. This software will improve the work flow process in the contruction of custom build ready-to-move houses for customers and for the organization. The intern will also develop staff training and evaluation modules in the use of the […]

The components to be embedded within a precaset concrete panel must be inspected prior to concete placement. To the untrained eye, this inspection appears to be the process of comparing an actual 3D tangle of mesh, rebar, and other metal components with neat 2D design drawings on paper. Even for highly trained and experienced inspectors, […]

Traditional stick-built can take weeks to reach the lockup stage of a single house and leaves the house exposed for long time, while a single home can be built by using modular construction within a few days, which is much quicker. In addition, using advanced technology to achieve automated and standardized operations is the target […]
