Design and prototyping of an ergonomic core handling rack to be used with a pallet lifter.

This project is to develop data-driven models aimed at understanding and forecasting residential market trends. The work includes research, data integration, model development, and testing across various geographies and property types.

Corrosion under insulation (CUI), insulation-driven Stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) and thermal losses are the major issues for thermally insulated equipment in Oil & gas. While Integrity Products multi-layered Insulation systems namely PTFE Spacer Wrap and Insulation Ventilation System aim to address the abovesaid problems and validated against ASTM G189-07 (i.e., standard for CUI testing), there is a gap in the worldwide commercialization of these systems. Also, there is a research gap with the testing of IGSCC especially from the standpoint of fracture mechanics. Finally, the thermal losses from the systems need to be better understood. The project aims to understand the standards, address the market & knowledge gaps via testing.

This project will continue providing engineering, science, and business services associated with the circular economy to Canadian SMEs. The services will be administered by the University of British Columbia (UBC) and other associated academic researchers across Canada, as coordinated by UBC's Materials and Manufacturing Research Institute (MMRI). The match-making between researchers and SMEs will be based on the expertise needed and the location of the respective SMEs.
