Construction projects are complex, unstructured and dynamic. So accurate project progress monitoring has always been an essential part of the project control plan and one of the main challenges for project managers. In fact in order to deliver projects on time and within budget, progress monitoring can be taken in to account as a critical […]

Usually, any construction project begins with the planning department preparing a construction schedule that is pushed onto the project team. The big up-front plan might cause delays in the construction process because it relies on predicting a lot in the future, so you need frequent updating of this plan throughout the execution. Agile is a […]

The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) processes and technologies is rapidly growing in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. It is being widely implemented during the design and construction phases. However, the building models created in these phases are not suitable for the Operation and Maintenance Phase (O&M). These models lack useful data […]

L’objectif du projet est la création d’un processus de gestion des risques par l’étudiant, dans un service de conception et de construction d’aéroports, au sein de l’entreprise SNC Lavalin Construction. Ce processus devra être simple, facile d’utilisation, rigoureux et exhaustif. En effet, il vise à donner, à des personnes non sensibilisées à la gestion de […]

Currently, petroleum-based water resistance membranes are used in the construction industry in order to create a barrier against water. These make recycling a challenge during building demolition, as well as create a significant carbon footprint of their own. The purpose of this project is to develop a paper-based water barrier to replace the petroleum-based alternatives. […]

The goal of this research is to use the developed information around the technical, economical and social political challenges for the implementation of small-scale bioenergy systems in remote indigenous communities in Canada. The targeted outcome creates a multi faceted model to evaluate the success and impact of future installation with less input factors to simplify […]

L’objectif du stage est d’effectuer la phase de recherche rnenant

The main objective of this project is to provide a testing and optimization platform that will accelerate the availability of smart systems for seniors’ home healthcare. The interns from this program will start developing a novel versatile connection protocol that will connect different devices and sensors to the hub provided by our industrial partner SMARTONE. […]

This project investigates a new perspective on the intersections of architectural form generation, sustainability, building performance simulation and computation, and is meant to research an energy performance-driven building space organization method in the preliminary design phase. It will enquiry clear design questions, and present results using a visualization method that addresses the problem for both […]

La prédictibilité des coûts est la principale attente des clients quand ils se lancent dans des projets de construction. La décision d’entreprendre un projet est basée sur sa faisabilité financière. Or l’industrie de la construction, malgré un investissement important que d’autres industries dans la gestion des coûts, présente une piètre performante à respecter cet objectif, […]

Global population growth, urbanization and changing climate patterns have increased the demand for potable water, wastewater reuse and value recovery from wastewater, and for remediation of industrial process water. Population growth also results in increased demand for the shipping of goods by ocean freight, with the associated risk of the transport of unwanted marine life […]
