The engineering field offers a smorgasbord of career paths in industries across the board. Here’s a short list from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and this is just the top ten. Chemical Engineer Industrial Engineer Industrial Production Manager Mechanical Engineer Materials Engineer Biomedical Engineer Architecture and Engineering Electrical and Electronics Engineers Software Developers Environmental […]
Communist China is increasingly more aggressive about establishing a death grip monopoly on the world’s critical mineral supplies. Now two North American companies are partnering under the auspices of the U.S. – Canada Joint Action Plan on Critical Minerals to optimize high-tech rare earth element (REE) technology development. The collaboration in an integrated “mine-to-magnet strategy” […]
Tunnel construction is a complex engineering task due to the difficulties and logistics involved in boring and digging over extended distances underground. However, thanks to advances in equipment technology, complex tunneling construction projects are accomplished throughout the world. The tunnel boring machine (TBM) has made the engineering and construction of these tunnels possible, a […]
During Tesla’s recent 2020 shareholders meeting (a.k.a. “Battery Day”), Elon Musk — CEO of Tesla and Chairman at SolarCity — talked for a good hour about batteries. Particularly, Musk discussed innovations in lithium-ion batteries — such as replacing cobalt with nickel cathodes.
McKinsey suggests that the COVID-19 crisis will reshape the construction industry, radically shift supply and value chains, and create the blueprint for the industry moving forward. While all of these are certainly true, COVID-19 isn’t simply a “disrupter.” It’s a tangible threat to the industry’s bottom-line. How is COVID-19 impacting the 2021 forecast for […]
In August of 2020 Tunnel Business Magazine published an eye-opening analysis of the exorbitantly high cost of US tunnels when compared with similar underground infrastructure projects around the world. The first and worst case cited was New York City’s Second Avenue Subway which opened to the public on January 1, 2017 after racking up an […]
“Integrating the pre-COVID-19 [sustainability] agenda into the post-COVID-19 action plan.” — Alexandre L’Heureux, President of WSP Global Despite the ongoing pandemic, sustainability is still the driving trend in construction. The post-crisis resiliency of construction firms is tightly hinged to how they handle sustainability going forward. According to McKinsey, the “new normal” in construction will […]
6 mayors in Northern Minnesota, a state in the heart of the US Iron Belt, have broken the long-standing tradition of their fathers and grandfathers by abandoning the Democrats and the Biden presidential campaign. As the Democrats rush farther and farther to the left, mayors, traditional Democrat communities, and industry leaders alike all claim that […]
The COVID pandemic has impacted pretty much every part of the economy. New construction is no exception to the rule.
Unemployment rates in the United States are at an all-time high. Yet, in the middle of this ongoing pandemic, civil construction companies are facing a unique problem: they can’t find enough talent and demand for skilled workers remains high. Recent data from The Civil Quarterly Vol. 1 shows that contractors in the construction sector may […]
As civil construction continues to endure the unprecedented economic and social storm brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, there’s a silver lining: construction jobs rebounded in May, recouping half of the losses from April. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, construction produced the second-largest gains in May — behind hospitality and travel.
Back in August of last year, we discussed the Pentagon’s interest in rare earth elements production within the United States. Partially fueled by trade tensions, the Department of the Air Force leveraged the Defense Production Act to assess and evaluate the capacity and processing capabilities of rare earth minerals.
