The ground system that saves aircraft: The engineering behind EMAS
The EMAS system dissipates kinetic energy through controlled deformation to stop aircraft that overshoot the runway.
Bulk solids handling: Custom manufacturing of silos and hoppers
Proper bulk solids handling is the basis for manufacturing silos and hoppers designed for mass flow or funnel flow, thereby preventing the accumulation of combustible dust.
Operational inefficiencies: Turnkey industrial workshops from design to commissioning
The implementation of turnkey industrial workshops eliminates operational inefficiencies through a comprehensive approach that ranges from layout design to equipment commissioning.
Fine defects in welds: Computed radiography with HD-CR 35 NDT
Computed radiography using the HD-CR 35 NDT scanner ensures the detection of fine defects in welds in accordance with ISO 17636-2 and ASTM E2445.
Explosion hazard in classified areas: Safe maintenance with non sparking tools
In explosive atmospheres, a simple spark is fatal. Learn how non sparking tools protect workers during hazardous maintenance.
Shortage of Level III NDT technicians in plants: inspection validation through remote collaboration
Optimize mechanical integrity in the absence of Level III NDT technicians through secure remote collaboration.
Improper bolt loading: The silent origin of many flange leaks
Leaks in flanged joints are often attributed to gasket deterioration, but the root cause is usually an uneven load distribution across the bolts.
Hydrogen engines and cryogenic challenges in aeronautical engineering
Implementing hydrogen engines is the most viable pathway to decarbonize commercial aviation. However, its technical and industrial success hinges on solving complex storage and thermal management challenges at cryogenic temperatures.
Industrial failures that transformed modern mechanical integrity
Industrial failures such as Chevron Richmond and Ashland reshaped mechanical integrity, driving better inspection practices and risk management.
