The research problem is to model the deterioration of conductors and to predict their service life as a function of exposure to humidity, chlorides and SO2. The model will be validated by analyzing 300 sites with data on the residual thickness of zinc. A feature-dependent Markov model will be fitted to estimate the residual life […]

Le projet consiste à la mise en place de dispositifs d’échantillonnage et de prélèvements sur des systèmes de biofiltres plantés, ainsi que le suivi des paramètres de traitement de ces systèmes.

Building materials made from bio-based feedstock such as biochar requires less embodied energy and has carbon sequestration capacity. Their use in construction reduces the overall Global Warming Potential (GWP) of building materials, facilitates environmental repair, and reduces climate impacts from environmentally intensive industry sectors such as agriculture and aquaculture. Bio-based composites are typically low in […]

This project will contribute to developing design guidelines for steel-reinforced 3D printed concrete structural members. 3D printing is a novel construction method that is being developed around the world. It has the potential to revolutionize construction practices, because it is an automated process that requires less heavy labor compared to regular construction practices. The material […]

This project seeks to evaluate the benefits of deploying active road signs on road safety and driving behavior. Different types of iluminated and traffic responsive traffic signs will be considered, under urban and rural setting. Two case studies will be analyzed for this purpose. The company expects to identify demonstrate that their products are beneficial […]

Post and beam safety barriers are common on Canadian highway bridges. The post anchorage refers to the region of bridge deck and curb to which the post is connected. The anchorage must be strong enough to resist crash loads on the barrier, which generate large tension forces within the anchorage. Typical barrier post anchorages have […]

The skilled trades industry in Canada is facing significant challenges, including labor shortages, an aging workforce, and the need to attract younger generations to the trades. TradesLink, an innovative online platform, aims to address these challenges by creating a community-driven solution that empowers trades employers to effectively manage their workforce and meaningfully connect them with […]

Demand for water and wastewater treatment has grown substantially in recent years, leading to a increased need for innovative technology. To remain a global leader in UV-based treatment technology, Trojan must continue to innovate through its intesive research and development program. One of Trojan’s distinguishing features has been the rigorous analysis and testing that our […]

To assist in the day-to-day accounting tasks and contribute to our company’s growth.

Achieving maturity and excellence in project management requires systematic tools that establish well-defined processes and standardized procedures for effective planning and execution. Value Stream Mapping (VSM), a key lean methodology, enables construction organizations to identify inefficiencies, minimize waste, and enhance overall productivity. By providing a visual representation of the entire workflow—from project inception to completion—VSM […]

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) recently introduced stringent regulations for the treatment of ballast water. Ultra-violet (UV) light is a useful technology in a ballast water treatment system (BWTS), for inactivating phytoplankton which could be invasive and harmful to humans and the environment. UV damages DNA and prevents replication, but the vital stain methods […]

The proposed research project aims to address the significant natural hazard of large-scale landslides in sensitive clays, which can cause substantial economic loss, environmental disaster, infrastructure damage, and fatalities. The partner organization, WSP, specializes in geotechnical engineering services, including geohazard assessment from landslides and slope failure. This project will explore the applicability of advanced large-deformation […]
