Predictive Maintenance Goes Conversational: How AI is Transforming Construction Imagine a construction site where machines can predict their own potential failures, ensuring smooth operations and minimizing costly downtime. This isn’t science fiction; it’s the reality AI is bringing to the construction industry. Traditionally, predictive maintenance relied heavily on human expertise, often limited by inconsistent data […]
Imaging AI DALL-E’s rendition of modern offshore efforts to tap the high-stakes Paleogene deposit. From the precarious beginnings of Thunder Horse oil platform to the catastrophic Deepwater Horizon spill, to current aspirations for untapped resources in the Paleogene formation, BP’s journey reflects the high-stakes nature of deep-water oil and gas production. “Using a geology-based assessment methodology, the […]

Heavy Industry Hiring in a Turbulent Election Year 2023 was a turbulent year in itself for heavy industry sectors, and most especially for the mining industry. Under the incompetent (there’s no other way to say it) leadership of the Biden administration and an equally lackluster Congress, 2024 promises more of the same, if not […]
The quarrying industry is critical for the extraction of valuable minerals and materials for construction and infrastructure projects. Not to mention agriculture, water treatment, and manufacturing, and the list goes on. Liberating those essential raw materials comes at a human and environmental cost, and the quarrying industry has historically been fraught with safety risks […]
How Tailored Schedules Benefit Engineers, Plant Personnel, and Miners We hear a lot of fuss about innovative workforce perks these days, usually in the cushy settings of Silicon Valley, where ping-pong tables and video games abound and the data mining crowd enjoys a nap on the break room bunks with company-provided snacks. OK, to give […]
Heavy-handed. Manipulative. Controlling. These are the words that come to mind when one thinks about China’s long-standing monopoly over the production and supply of rare earth metals, also known as REE or Rare Earth Elements. Critical Mineral Markets in Critical Condition China’s dominance in critical mineral markets largely contributes to the undercurrents of geopolitical […]
In our ongoing quest for a cleaner, more sustainable future in this century, it’s vital to recognize that the road to renewable energy isn’t a one-way street paved solely with the latest green technology. Practicality and proven reliability must guide our energy discretion, particularly when safety, not to mention performance is at stake. Students […]
It’s not a new story for us here at Resource Erectors. Heavy industry has been facing human resource shortfalls year after year in the 21st Century as the boomer generation retires with no one behind in line to replace them. The engineer shortage is one that has its roots in the Great Recession, way […]
