685 Autodesk has launched a specialist training and certification package for civil engineers to bring them up to speed on modem BIM (information modelling) workflows. The Autodesk Official Training Guide, is not just teaching the functionality of the programs says the company, but aims to show how the Autodesk infrastructure software workflows "can help owners and service providers on roads and highways improve productivity, optimise designs, and accelerate project approvals." The course simulates a roadways project from planning and design through visual communication and construction documentation using an integrated BIM workflow using the latest 3282 AutoCAD Civil 3D, Autodesk InfraWorks, Autodesk InfraWorks 360, and Autodesk Navisworks Manage software. The Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite 2014: BIM Workflow for Roads and Highways guide is available in hard copy or eBook format by online purchase from Ascent publishing (%$Linker: 2External<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary />000oLinkExternalwww.ASCENTed.comwww.ASCENTed.comfalsehttp://www.ascented.com/falsefalse%>).
France-based Dubuis is unveiling its new Neoelec in line BPL36 crimping tool at Intermat 2012.The company, bought by Stanley Black&Decker in 2006, has designed a crimper with 35kN force and 8mm stroke, weighing 2.1kg and capable of 4-185mm² hexagonal crimping.
Hyder and Parsons Brinckerhoff have been appointed as the design team for the US$5.97 billion East West Link in Melbourne, Australia.
The two engineering and management consultancies are in a 50/50 joint venture to provide detailed design and construction support services for the 6.6km Stage 1 work, which is the eastern section, of the project.
Together with the proposed western section, the completed East West Link will cost around $7 billion. The toll road will form an 18km cross-city connection ext
On the back of a record-breaking event in 2018 the organisers of the UK’s Hillhead Exhibition have extended the event once again for 2020.
The 2018 event was supported by 546 exhibitors and attracted an independently audited attendance of nearly 20,000.
With outdoor space on track to be sold out by late autumn, an additional 2,200m² of stand space has been created in the quarry floor by extending the showground into the quarry face demonstration area.
Hillhead 2020 takes place from 23–25 June, 202
Sandvik Mining is now using Volvo Penta engines in its underground trucks and loaders. The advanced engines meet Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emission standards and are claimed to reduce fuel and ventilation costs in comparison with other units. The Volvo Penta engineers designed a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) unit in the exhaust system that converts NOx gas into nitrogen and water. The Volvo Penta exhaust-treatment solution also reduces DPM levels without the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF).
