The areas of mechanical, metallurgical and civil engineering have been grouped together to promote synergy among the various research teams. Both mechanical and metallurgical engineering are used to analyze problems related to the failure, fatigue, welding, wear, degradation and aging of equipment. In addition, fluid mechanics and heat transfer technology, which are related to mechanical engineering, have much in common with hydraulics and hydrology in civil engineering. Whether the work involves forecasting precipitation and inflows, river flow and installations such as pipes and turbines, or analyzing output, determining hydraulic losses and performing mechanical and thermal analyses, it all requires similar numerical simulation techniques and experimental measurements. As for research that involves upgrading or rehabilitation work, it often brings together experts in mechanical, metallurgical and civil engineering as part of the same project.
Our expertise, which pertains to the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, also covers repairs and robotized welding, the correction of vibration faults, solving problems related to thermal overheating and the degradation of contacts, lines, cables and electrical equipment. It also includes the analysis, diagnosis, and upgrading of civil engineering structures as well as the capacity of structures and equipment to withstand earthquakes.
