21 Feb 2019Mining and MetalsThe frenetic pace of exploration programs and the tight deadlines between taking measurements and sending data to resource geologists can cause multiple database errors, which result in loss of time and money, and sometimes schedule delays. Most of these errors could have been easily identified and corrected as soon as the project started. Moreover, drilling data is essential for creating a robust geological model and for providing an unbiased estimate of mineral resources. This data must therefore be sufficiently rigorous, reliable and complete to comply with the NI 43-101 standard. Here are some examples of a few easily achievable steps to help you validate your data.How to get rid of errors in your drilling database in 25 questions

06 Jul 2018Power and RenewablesA comprehensive commissioning and maintenance program for electrical distribution equipment identifies factors that can cause failures and provides the means to correct them. Such a program can help identify risks that might lead to equipment failure or power outages and correct these risks at a time when their impact is minimal. Well-maintained equipment reduces production shutdowns while minimizing major failures, which in turn decreases overall operating costs. To ensure electrical equipment and devices function properly, it is essential to set up an effective commissioning, maintenance and testing program through an in-house service or through subcontracting to a private company specialized in this practice.Commissioning and maintenance of electrical distribution equipment: which approach to adopt
