Fire Resistant Concrete Repair for Vertical and Overhead Applications

Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world, with a wide range of regular uses. However, problems such as freeze thaw, spalling/cracking, carbonation, chemical attack and impact, amongst others, can all result in concrete damage.

Finning launches new guide on Medium Combustion Plant Directive

Finning UK & Ireland (Finning) has launched a free new guide, to help plant owners and operators ensure they don’t fall foul of legislation introducing new emissions limits for mid-sized machinery and plant.

Available to download from https://poweruk.finning.com/powerplayermcpd, the guide explores the implications of the Medium Combustion Plant Directive (MCPD), and strides made by manufacturers and suppliers, such as Finning, to engineer solutions that can help limit pollutants. The guide is the first in what is set to be a regular series, titled ‘The Power Players’, which discusses the latest issues, challenges and opportunities for the electric power industry.

SMRP + SMPRCO Announce New Benefits, Improvements and Expanded Accessibility for CMRP & CMRT Programs

ATLANTA (August 1, 2019) – The Society for Maintenance & Reliability Professionals (SMRP) and the SMRP Certifying Organization (SMRPCO) announce a host of new benefits and improvements to come for the Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP) and Certified Maintenance & Reliability Technician (CMRT) programs.

Risk of electrostatic ignition during FIBC discharging operations

Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) have long been considered a great innovation in the transportation of dry flowable material since their introduction in the sixties. Commonly referred to as a “bulk bag”, “big bag” or “tote”, FIBCs have a body made of flexible woven material, typically the high strength thermoplastic, polypropylene, along with a linear insert. FIBCs are efficient, and transportation of dry bulk goods such as sand, fertilisers, plastic granules, seeds, resin and powder coatings, to name a few, can be unloaded at a fast rate, with anywhere between 300 – 500kg typically in 30 seconds or less.

Industry leaders come on board as NMiTE adds engineering expertise

NMiTE (New Model in Technology and Engineering) the project to create the engineering university of the future, has announced three new appointments to its Board of Trustees; Martin Hitchin, Rowena Innocent and Richard Lindsay-Davies which will come into effect on 1 July 2019.

Construction professionals flood in to become role models to inspire others into sector

ems sat 19 3Nominations for the annual UK Construction Week (UKCW) Role Models initiative have quadrupled since last year, according to event organisers Media 10.

Dozens of construction professionals were among the entrants this Spring, attracted to a scheme which provides a schools contact programme and public platform to professionals of any age and background to share inspiring stories of how they came into their career and why they love what they do.

New innovation partnership targets construction supply chain

ems sat 19 2Businesses from all parts of the construction supply chain are set to benefit from a new collaboration between the Construction Innovation Hub and UK Construction Week (UKCW), in a move designed to boost take up of innovation in the industry and realisation of the Government’s sector deal ambitions.

Controlling static electricity on interconnected plant assemblies

Metal Rebuilding Window Profiles on a $58 Million Catamaran Yacht

ems m13 19 5It comes as no surprise that there are common problems associated with the harsh natures of conditions in the marine industry. For the most part, issues are caused by corrosion or erosion after years of operation. Usually, types of marine maintenance can fall into two categories. The first being at sea, typically with a small-scale repair or an emergency repair such as a leak. The other category being in dry dock. The characteristics of dry dock maintenance tend to be larger applications, in areas that can’t be accessed whilst out at sea, such as the propulsion system. On rare occasions however, we can also find problems occurring during the manufacturing stages.

Case Study: Static Discharge during Pneumatic Powder Processing

ems m13 19 4Pneumatic conveying systems have the ability to generate vast quantities of electrostatic charge via the movement of product through the plant equipment. The most common method of electrostatic charging on such process operations is due to tribo-electrification, which is simply the contact and separation of the powder with the walls of the processing equipment, the powder molecules itself or other factors that can cause charging, like surface contaminants.
