Special collaborator : Jean Fournier, P.Eng. The Sherbrooke University has decided to commit to the construction of a 600kW solar park in order to study the various technologies of PV solar panels and structures currently available on the market, except for CPV panels. The project includes for fixed solar panels installed on the ground and on the roof of the sports center, as well as solar trackers on the ground capable of tracking the sun on two electric motor axes. Solar panels installed on the roof of the sport center will supply the University’s facilities while those installed on the ground…
The submerged arc welding process (SAW) is used to fuse metal pieces by producing an electric arc between an electrode wire with continuous wire feed and a base metal. The electric arc is produced beneath a layer of granular flux which is laid down on the joint to be welded. The flux protects the fusion bath against the oxidizing ambient atmosphere. It also eliminates the welding splatters and the ultraviolet ray emissions. Submerged arc welding is generally…
Canam-Bridges is proud to present the third video clip from its webseries entitled “Connecting the Shorelines” which will focus on the fabrication of the components of the new Champlain Bridge. In this third episode, you will see the fabrication management through the eyes of the production team. The urgency of the project, the tight schedule, the Lean approach and the flawless quality control are key to an optimal fabrication leading us to the pursuit…
