Canada is one of the nations that committed towards mitigation of climate change and the Paris climate goals, which mandates major actions to modify the current GHG emissions in the Canadian context. Buildings are the primary consumers of Canada’s produced energy and one of the major GHG contributors. This project aims at assessing the possibility […]

Orthotropic bridge deck is lightweight steel deck, typically fabricated by welding “ribs” to the underside of a flat steel plate. The potential benefits of these deck systems are compelling. For example, from 1991 to 1993, the deteriorating deck on the Champlain Bridge was replaced with orthotropic steel deck panels weighing 25% less than the original […]

The purpose of this project is to design features and enhancements to tensioned-membrane structures to achieve ‘net zero’ building performance. Net zero buildings are defined as buildings that generate as much or more energy than they use over the course of a year. Sprung Structures Ltd, a manufacturer of tensioned-membrane structures, requires assistance in researching […]

The student will help with marketing campaigns, researching projects where the supervisor hasn’t had time to conduct, be in touch with clients/customers, catching up on the backlog of administration amongst other contributions.

This internship will focus on investigating potential software applications for automated steel design that has a high potential for improving the cost-effectiveness of conventional and modular construction, as all input is parametrized to allow the consideration of a multitude of real-world factors simultaneously. As a steel design and analysis software developer, the partner organization is […]

In the EPC sector, cost & cash flow analyses not only determine actual profit at the end of the project, but also estimate required cash resources or cash balances at the end of every month. Cash flow analysis is a significant challenge in managing a construction project; however, it requires extensive information that is not […]

L’arrivée des technologies dans les processus de communication d’une entreprise bouleverse les paradigmes de gestion de l’information actuelle.
