Purchasing used equipment can be a smart financial decision, but keep these tips in mind to ensure you're not disappointed by your acquisition.

Horizontal directional drilling (HDD), also known as directional boring, is a minimal impact trenchless construction technique used to install underground pipelines, conduits, cables or any other utility along a predefined path.

Construction firms have come around to the notion that concrete scanning is vital to job site safety and efficiency.

Throughout Canada’s history, connective infrastructure has brought our communities together and linked people from across the country. Despite the strong foundations of these investments, in the last few decades Canada has fallen behind towards ensuring a consistent flow of core infrastructure.

The QUEST consortium is being established to develop quantum computing applications for electricity power grids.

When it came time to upgrade infrastructure, it made no sense to replace old copper wiring with new copper wires, which don’t have the capacity for broadband. “It’s no more difficult to build fibre than it is copper.  It’s just a matter of money and time.”

Some roads in the Pacific Northwest buckled. Workers ventured out in blistering conditions to put cracked concrete and asphalt byways back together. Steel drawbridges were doused with water to make sure they wouldn’t swell shut under the oppressive heat.

Da Vinci’s proposal was radically different than the standard bridge at the time. As described by the MIT group, it was approximately 918 feet long (280 meters, though neither system of measurement had been developed yet) and would have consisted of a flattened arch “tall enough to allow a sailboat to pass underneath with its mast in place...but that would cross the wide span with a single enormous arch,” according to an MIT press statement. It would have been the longest bridge in the world at the time by a significant measure, using an unheard of style of design.

These groups offer education and training, advocacy, industry communication, member discounts and peer networking.
