What Is Robotic Demolition?

Robotic Demolition London is a specialist process, which an experienced and a professional drilling company will have access to. Robotic Demolition – as the name might not quite imply – is used in construction as well. Robotic Demolition is a process which is used in restoration work in particular, and can be used for all manner of sites which just so happen to be even more dangerous than usual due to the risk of collapse. Other sites can also present other problems. Environmental hazards such as adverse weather, damage to a water or a gas main, asbestos, as well as the fact that some jobs indeed do take place in not very nice areas can also require the usage of a Robotic Demolition specialist company. A good Robotic Demolition Company will have a range of robotic BROKK machines which are the robots which will do the heavy lifting. An operative is to stand some distance away from the BROKK robot and control it using a mechanism which is not unlike a controller. A ...

What Is Oil and Gas Reservoir Evaluation?

Oil and Gas Reserves and Resources Evaluation is a series of technical studies which are intended to add value to an oil and gas company’s operations pertaining to a particular prospect – as well as highlight issues which may prevent the prospect coming into fruition. Typically, an oil and gas reserves and resource evaluation consists of various technical studies, which tend to take place from an early exploration stage, onward to development planning and even utilised in project execution. Some of these technical studies are as follows. Seismic Processing and Imaging is taken on both pre and post stack processing sequences. Furthermore, there are a series of regional sedimentlogical, sequence-stratigraphic and structural exploration technical audits to carry out. Essential geological information such as sedimentology, facies, burial history, diagenesis and mineralogy is also taken into consideration in order to find the best possible evaluation result. All-in-all, the act of o...

Agilent Ion Getter Pumps in UHV Applications

UHV, or Ultra High Vacuum, is a vital technology which is utilised in all manner of scientific applications today. There is all manner of utilisation for Agilent Ion Getter Pumps as well as Agilent Titanium Sublimation Pumps in multiple scientific fields, as a result. Some sciences, such as high energy physics, medical particle acceleration, as well as the surface science community in general have benefitted massively from the application of Ultra High Vacuum to their respective fields, and this technology was developed to be far superior to existing methods which involved the application of glass chambers – which understandably, are very impractical for high-temperature and high-pressure testing. Ultra High Vacuum is today utilised with the Vaclon Pump, which uses stainless steel in both forms and tubing. Furthermore, flanges are copper-sealed, and feedthroughs are designed in meta-ceramic in order to deal with environments and pressures which are very high. Stainless Steel showed ...

Understanding Flexible Metal Components

A flexible metal hose is used to transfer media under varying pressures and temperatures. These metal hoses must be incredibly resilient to these pressures and temperatures in order to successfully transport the media from one part of the machinery to another. A flexible metal hose must be able to resist the working environment that surrounds the hose such as severe vibrations and potentially damaging materials that may leak from other components. Here we will look further into these components to fully understand the uses of a flexible metal hose. A metal hose assembly will consist of a corrugated hose that is both leak-proof and resilient to varying pressures. These hoses will often be braided in order to absorb as much damage and force as possible, to prevent any severe damage to the hose assembly that could cause disruption to daily workflow. It is common to attach a PTFE liner that increases the stability of the hose, establishing further resistance to chemicals and other me...

IR Spectroscopy – The Basics

The pharmaceutical industry is reliant on the advantages of infrared spectroscopy.  Infrared Spectroscopy is likened very much to a fingerprint, and it is by these fingerprints that the properties and appropriate identification of compounds and materials can be gleaned. As each and every human being has a set of fingerprints which are different in 100% of cases, but the same for each individual, as each property gleaned from IR spectroscopy is the same amongst all examples of a particular material, but different between different types. The method of IR Spectroscopy is to look at characteristics of each “fingerprint” in order to identify the material from this. Instead of whirls or dips being examined, IR Spectroscopy is a matter of looking at a graph which appears to be full of troughs and peaks. These graphs are obtained by using an appropriate IR Spectroscopy device in order to set a cantilever to the material, aim a fine-tuned laser at the cantilever, then blast t...

Understanding Hydraulic Testing

A hydraulic testing method is required to be carried out in a systematic manner, alongside a basic understand of the hydraulic system in question and its functions. Before the testing procedure begins, it is important to find the hydraulic schematic and the serial number for the system being tested. Here we will discuss further the importance of testing your system and how it can benefit you in the long term. If you have experienced the failure of a hydraulic component during a time that you can least afford it, or at an inconvenient time during daily production, then you are sure to benefit from testing your hydraulic system. A failure in your hydraulic system is an expensive circumstance. Every moment that your system is down and oil is spilling out at your feet is costing you money. It is essential to immediately identify the problem with your system in order to fix it; this is where a hydraulic test comes in. Hydraulic testing will allow you to easily and safely simulat...

Embracing the Old in New Architecture

Conwy is a town which is rather old. Furthermore, a lot of the attractions in Conwy tend to have multiple purposes – appealing to both visitors and locals for the fact that they embrace the old, but appeal to the locals with the fact that they are still very relevant even today. In a world that seems to be jam-packed with new, uniform and very uninteresting, bland things, Conwy stands proudly apart as an example of an excellent town which embraces its history but moves forward with the times as well. History is everywhere in Conwy - in the castle walls and in every single nook and cranny of the perfectly maintained and very much functional buildings which make up the town - and it tends to get a lot of tourism through the fact that there really is nowhere in the UK like it. When it comes to embracing - not just keeping - the old, It is admittedly, quite a tricky affair to get right. For instance, the issues the nearby town of Llandudno has had with filling the site of the old pavilion...
