13 abr 2021Minería y metalurgiaFor processes using combustible or toxic materials, it is important to include a fire and gas detection system that will act effectively in the event of a leak or ignition. There are several technologies and design methods available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. To make an informed choice from among the many technologies and design methods, it is important to understand the fundamental principles and to identify the risks to mitigate. This article will outline the key elements for a successful design and point out some traps to avoid.Fire and gas detection: avoid the traps!-

16 mar 2021Minería y metalurgiaYear after year, mining companies try to set up investment plans which, in many cases, only yield mixed results. Whether they are intended to optimize operating costs, increase production capacity, comply with environmental or legal regulations or maintain community relationships, the projects that makeup the investment plan are frequently started without being properly defined. And, inevitably, the results end up being disappointing.Managing your investment plan wisely

08 feb 2021Energía eléctrica y renovablesIn the mining and construction sectors, the drilling and blasting process is typically considered the most efficient and cost-effective way to fragment rock. Despite this, the same mechanisms that render this process highly efficient can also result in unwanted impacts on surface and underground infrastructures, the environment and local communities.A procedural overview of urban or sensitive-area blasting practices

07 ene 2021Energía eléctrica y renovablesWhile cybersecurity risks and concerns are not new to industrial operations and critical infrastructure, there has been a huge increase in cyber attacks and breaches over the last few years. This increase is being driven by several complex factors, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, legacy devices, open source hacking tools and a general lack of cybersecurity maturity for industrial control system (ICS) environments, just to name a few. This blog article reviews a few options to consider as cybersecurity tools for local access management of ICS devices (e.g., protection relays, RTUs, PLCs, HMIs, etc.). Access management of ICS devices can be challenging due to a variety of factors, such as the sheer volume of end devices, travel time to remote locations, management of third-party contractors and maintenance personnel, and the lack of dedicated resources to manage appropriate access.Local access of ICS devices: a cybersecurity perspective

24 nov 2020Energía eléctrica y renovablesBBA’s Occupational Health and Safety team is pleased to provide this blog article on managing your level of energy at work and the importance of taking breaks, even during peak periods. Although working long hours in a row can help you catch up on a considerable amount of work, it can also have negative effects on your health, safety and personal life, in addition to affecting your productivity. That’s why it’s important to stick to your limits, because exceeding them can result in overall fatigue, which decreases concentration and makes you more vulnerable to occupational accidents.Perform without burning out

27 oct 2020Energía eléctrica y renovablesVirtualization has come a long way over the years and has become the standard in production systems. Protecting virtualization systems and, by extension, the production system, requires a robust network architecture capable of overcoming all emergency situations like power outages, fires or equipment failures. Hyperconvergence is a great way to ensure the resilience needed to protect virtualization and storage systems in the production system.Prevent production downtime with hyperconvergence
