Building and Construction

HEADLINES ARCHIVE

  • Upgrading a thread rolling machine with specific modifications

    Overhauling of industrial threading machines can be a complex and lengthy endeavor, but for most companies, the tooling changeover benefits far exceed the time costs involved in the process.

  • Researchers incorporate waste glass into concrete

    When used to gradually replace basalt aggregate — a conventional aggregate used in concrete — ground waste glass reportedly reduced the thermal conductivity of concrete by one fifth.

  • Northwest Pipe Company will supply transmission pipeline for Texas water project

    It will be operational by late 2023 and provide communities with 19 million gallons of water per day.

  • Watch: This hydraulic mini-loader has gone electric

    Joining the ranks of the electric revolution is this do-it-all mini-loader for light-duty farm, construction and utility uses.

  • Customize air conditioning system drawings with Revit configurator

    The online tool provides HVAC professionals the ability to uniquely configure their Carrier HVAC unit Revit drawings based on key project criteria.

  • Significant progress toward living construction materials

    Engineered living materials that combine the strength of building materials with the responsiveness of living systems would revolutionize construction and maintenance.

  • New tool helps builders choose low carbon truss materials

    MIT research has created a tool that helps architects select sustainable materials for structure construction.

  • Residential leasing program brings sustainable HVAC to more homes

    The program, the first of its kind, bundles a York HVAC system, installation, 10 years of annual maintenance and service, and a 10-year parts and labor warranty that homeowners pay for monthly.

  • Steer sustainable building design and construction with this guide

    The tool addresses environmentally responsible selection, sourcing, use and disposal of construction materials.

  • Solar power, battery storage now required in new California construction

    New residential and commercial structures must incorporate solar power and battery energy storage systems.

  • Reducing silica exposure on the jobsite

    Developed to keep workers safe while keeping costs low, this innovative solution contains specific processes that result with mitigation of crystalline silica in a work environment.

  • Jazeera Paints becomes the first company in MENA to offer certified fire-proofing paints

    Fire-proofing paints are an important component of building safety and security. They help prevent the spread of fire and limit the impact a fire has on the building.

  • Video: Volvo and LEGO Technic develop game-changing intelligent prototype for the construction industry

    The LX03 is designed to adapt to different scenarios, make real-time decisions and collaborate with humans, while operating as a safe and smart worker.

  • UBS Arena at Belmont Park sets the safety and sanitation standard for future arenas

    The facility has adopted the Sharecare Health Security VERIFIED solution to support its operations with over 140 expert-validated standards across 600+ venue checkpoints.

  • Eliminating rework with robotic pulse welding

    To achieve the goal of going robotic, Altec acquired a Fronius cold metal transfer technology, in combination with a welding platform.

  • The future in hose assembly: Smart crimping

    Internet of things-enabled crimpers have dramatically improved crimp production by keeping track of important data, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting issues.

  • Quality assurance in fastener assembly

    It is more important than ever for quality assurance teams to provide effective support for workers in every step of the assembly process.

  • Critical need for eco-friendly firefighting foam

    Currently there is nothing on the market that comes close to the effectiveness of AFFF that could be considered environmentally friendly and a deadline is fast approaching.

  • Fixed-film treatment process reduces sludge management issues for smaller flow wastewater applications

    Biological treatment systems for small communities and commercial properties are commonly scaled-down versions of the activated sludge process, but a self-regulating, fixed-film activated sludge treatment process is often required and employed in these applications.

  • Tough on pump clogs: Prison facility eliminates submersible clogs with new above grade lift station

    When a correctional facility underwent a capacity expansion, changes to its submersible sewage pumping station coincided, resulting in a new approach to combatting the ills of prison sewage pump clogs.
