"The extraordinary logistics of transporting a colossal oil module and a building showcase the engineering marvels and precision required for safe and efficient relocation of massive structures." In the video, an enormous oil module is transported in an amazing manner, demonstrating the difficulty of moving such a large structure. It shows the meticulous preparation and coordination needed to manoeuvre through confined locations and metropolitan areas by utilising specialised transport trucks and equipment made to manage big loads. In addition to the module, the video includes footage of a structure being moved and a number of fascinating labour scenarios, like assembling and adjusting massive components. The images highlight the engineering know-how and accuracy required for these procedures, as well as the logistical difficulties and innovative solutions employed to ensure the successful and safe relocation of these critical infrastructure elements. 📌Knowledge not shared is knowledge lost! 👉Follow me and 👉 Activate Bell 🛎️for all posts as well as additional technical and educational content!💪🏆 #oilandgas #engineering #construction #letsconnect #technology #design #civilengineering #civilconstruction

SUE Industry And The Need For Subsurface Utility Mapping Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) is a crucial part of civil engineering. The subsurface utility mapping and evaluation helps to know about all that is present underground. This makes it easier to solve underground problems. This ensures that construction projects don’t hit the equipment presented below. They could damage pipes or cables. https://lnkd.in/gH6GG5A6 #SUEIndustry #civilengineering #damagepipes #Construction #technology #maintenance #lifespan #investments #Datavisualization #teammembers #datasharing #Automation #customdata #professionaltool #creativeideas #GPSmapping #UndergroundMapping #ConstructionSafety ProStar - developers of PointMan GPRS Vacuum Instruments Corporation Cardno

The SOLARIS self-contained infrared barrier towers form a “virtual” (invisible) wall/fence to detect unwanted intrusions. Powered by a solar panel and highly efficient integrated battery, installation requires little to no civil engineering. Each SOLARIS tower integrates a powerful radio transmitter/receiver with low power consumption. When the infrared barrier sensor detects an intrusion, alarm information is collected by all nearby infrared towers that retransmit information automatically. The alarm message is relayed to a radio coordinator connected to the MAXIBUS Universal hub. The alarm center receives an intrusion alert notification. In the event that one SOLARIS tower is missing (or down) in the network, an alert is triggered for notification, acting like a watchdog for individual tower status reporting.

#ModuleMountingStructures Things to look out for before Procuring Mounting Structures: Module mounting structures are crucial in various fields, from solar energy systems to electronics and industrial machinery. They ensure stability, efficiency, and safety. The seriousness of their design and implementation can’t be overstated because: 1) Structural Integrity: Mounting structures need to support the weight and operational stresses of the modules they hold. Poor design can lead to structural failure, resulting in damage or even hazardous situations. 2) Alignment and Orientation: Correct alignment is vital for maximizing performance for systems like solar panels. Precision in mounting structures ensures that modules are positioned correctly to optimize their functionality. 3) Safety and Compliance: Mounting structures must meet local building codes and industry standards to ensure safety and reliability. Compliance with these regulations is essential to avoid legal issues and ensure people's and property's safety. 4) Durability and Maintenance: High-quality mounting structures are designed to withstand environmental factors like wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations. They should require minimal maintenance while offering long-term durability. 5) Cost Efficiency: Properly designed mounting structures can help in reducing overall costs by minimizing the need for repairs and adjustments. They also contribute to the efficiency of the system they support, which can be crucial in commercial applications. 6) Flexibility and Scalability: Especially in fields like renewable energy, mounting structures need to be adaptable to different sizes and configurations, allowing for future expansions or modifications. #MMS #Qualitywork #Engineering

The use of instrumentation in tunnel construction and operation is essential to ensure the safety and stability of the tunnel structure. In particular, project managers, designers, contractors, and operators all agree that well-planned monitoring, adapted to each tunnel, is crucial. By accurately quantifying certain parameters of structural behavior and monitoring their rate of change, it is possible to observe movement stabilization or deduce the possibility of failure in the case of acceleration. This comparison of measured values with design values enables the monitoring of tunnel stability and the implementation of corrective measures at the appropriate moment. Ultimately, the use of instrumentation is essential to ensure the safety and long-term viability of tunnels for both those who use them and those who maintain them.

What is the difference between GIS and AIS substation and how we choose a appropriate selection ? First of all GIS tends to gas insulated switchgear and AIS is air insulated switchgear so the first difference if the medium of the insulation. -GIS is found in a compact mood doesn’t come in a large scale -On another hand AIS depends on the surrounding air so the scale is larger -GIS depends on the SF6 gas that used as a prime insulation gas on our substation and choosed carefully thanks to its incredible pros like extinguish the spark in no time -GIS is free maintenance but AIS need periodic maintenance -GIS more realiable flixable has a long lifetime over AIS -GIS has more initial cost than AIS -The labours and human error is reduced in the GIS The criteria of selectivity of the substation depends on many factors . -According to the advantages of the GIS over AIS most of projects comes with certainly the selection of th GIS but the financial affairs detects some limitations and other projects the AIS is the best solution . -But in critical projects like cement factories steel factories or area near to the sea you must select GIS to be your choice because of the environmental issues and dust that could effect your substation badly you can not choose AIS. Also when the land is not available and has great price you should also make the GIS your best choice. -If you have a availability in space and area with no critical project you can go with AIS. The selection of the substation has a variety in options and criterias that must be followed carefully and be considered.
