High-purity iron ore: a key asset for decarbonization
Publications
-
High-purity iron, which was recently added to Québec's list of critical minerals, could play a pivotal role in global decarbonization efforts. Catherine Pelletier, Senior Engineer, Mining and Metals, at BBA, and Isabelle Leblanc, Vice-President, Mining and Metals, at BBA, explain how this mineral can be used to produce greener steel—a key material for the energy transition

03 Nov 2021Power and RenewablesConcrete is inherently a durable material, but its durability under any given set of exposure conditions varies with concrete mixture proportions, the presence and positioning of reinforcement, and the detailing, placing, finishing, curing and protection it receives. In service, it may be exposed to abrasion, moisture cycles, freezing and thawing cycles, temperature fluctuations, reinforcement corrosion and chemical attack, which would cause deterioration and potential service life reduction.Structural concrete condition assessment and repair methodologies

11 Aug 2021Power and RenewablesProject managers want to ensure their work complies with Québec’s Environment Quality Act (EQA), but recent changes are making them face major challenges. In fact, the EQA update and the enactment, in December 2020, of the Regulation respecting the regulatory scheme applying to activities on the basis of their environmental impact (REAFIE) have radically changed how activities are supervised subject to ministerial authorization under section 22 of the Act. Remember that the REAFIE classifies proposed activities according to their level of environmental risk. So, under certain conditions, activities may be entitled to a statement of compliance or exempt from an authorization. So, how do you figure it out?Project compliance with environmental laws: Why is the initial approach important?
