Dans les projets de construction, les données et informations initiales clés sont issues du chantier. Les membres de l’équipe projet collectent ces données sur place, via des calepins, ou bien des formulaires papier et les rapportent au bureau pour les analyser et prendre des décisions quant au projet. Ensuite, ces informations sont la plupart du […]

Le projet vise à augmenter les connaissances de la communauté scientifique concernant la préfabrication de coffrage hors chantier de construction. Le projet comportera une partie revue de littérature existante, puis portera sur l’étude de cas d’une entreprise de génie civile désireuse de créer une activité de préfabrication de coffrages. L’objectif sera de déterminer les gains […]

Measuring and assessing EPC project performance is an integral part of the management’s control function. EPC companies generate a lot of unstructured data. Visualization techniques have the potential to cope with such large datasets as are generated in EPC companies, by presenting subsets of these datasets in forms that provide useful insights for management teams. […]

The proposed study will focus on extending the Wilden Living Lab (WLL) Research Program by constructing a net-zero house (as the third house of the program) with new material combinations and construction practice. A post occupancy evaluation will be conducted to identify cost-effective material selection tools for building energy-efficient detached homes. Accordingly, a net-zero house […]

Conventional wastewater treatment process includes primary treatment (clarifier), secondary treatment (aeration tanks) and anaerobic digestion (AD) of primary sludge (PS) and waste activated sludge (WAS), followed by disposal of the bio-solids from of the AD process. It is estimated that the sludge treatmenUdisposal processes account for approximately 40% of the costs for a wastewater treatment […]

Given the unfold of Covid, Strata Engineering Inc. have seen a need and requirement for less face to face and a shift to digital approach to gain market share and influencing the end users decisions to gain familiarity and move forward with the company. This need has also been required for a while, as the […]

We would like a student to work through our accounting processes and recommend areas for improvement and also to help digitize the processes so that the accounting work can be done remotely if any staff were not able to go to the office or even be located in Fort McMurray. We will rely on the […]

Le projet vise à optimiser des pompes à chaleur transcritiques au CO2 par l’intégration d’un éjecteur. Les applications potentielles sont le chauffage et le refroidissement de bâtiments ou de procédés industriels nécessitant des puissances élevées. Pour cela, une approche couplée modélisation thermodynamique / expériences sera choisie. Les modèles d’éjecteur et de pompe à chaleur seront […]

The focus of this project is on building performance evaluation (BPE) in residential houses in Southern Ontario. Eight green homes will undergo BPE to see how well they are performing. The project will compare current building performance to the designed building performance. This comparison can help to see whether a “performance gap” exists. A performance […]

The proposed research project focusses towards developing and implementing a method to incorporate a company-specific safety program by incorporating the government-specified guidelines and working through the parameters of the program. The Government of Canada has recently released an enormous amount of data in lines with the safety measures, which needs to be evaluated and extensively […]

Momentum Design Build is a Vancouver Island based construction and development company that designs and builds custom residential housing, commercial buildings, and light industrial projects. They have faced significant growth in the last two years and are looking for solutions to meet demand while maintaining a high-quality product. The proposed internship has two components. It […]

Les nouvelles technologies émergentes dans la construction, notamment celles liées au BIM et aux simulations 4D à 7D, créent une rupture dans les méthodes de gestion et entrainent des changements majeurs dans la manière de gérer, coordonner, modéliser et planifier les chantiers, de même que la communication des informations. Cependant, lors de la planification, les […]
