Ministers are close to giving the green light to a financial package of up to £30m which would enable a Sheffield manufacturer to build a giant machine vital to the construction of a new series of nuclear reactors.
The machine that Forgemasters wants to build is called an open-die press, capable of pressing down on metal with a force of about 15,000 tonnes, making it among the most powerful machines of this type ever built.
Graham Honeyman, Forgemaster's chief executive, said: "At present there are only two or three companies in the world capable of making components for nuclear reactors of the type we are discussing. This is an exciting project which would give a big boost to the whole of the UK's capability in nuclear engineering." |

Canadian engineering and construction giant SNC-Lavalin sees big business opportunities for collaboration between Indian and Canadian c
ompanies in setting up smaller nuclear plants, following the Indo-US nuclear deal.
“India has the generic design for smaller nuclear reactors of around 540 mw. The Tarapore plant is also working on a 700 mw design. Western countries such as US and Canada now have much bigger reactors with advanced design of over 1100 mw. |

It's a beautiful thing when good design is the byproduct of finely-done mechanical engineering. If all engineers had an eye for aesthetics, yes, we ID'ers would be obsolete; but we could live with that if the world was filled with objects such as this. |

Edith Cowan University’s (ECU) School of Engineering is gearing up for the first intake of Mechanical Engineering students next year with the installation of a high-tech new nanoindenter at the state-of-the-art Materials Research Laboratory.
The machine is capable of investigating the mechanical properties of materials at a scale that is thousands of times smaller than a human hair.
High-tech devices are becoming smaller and more sophisticated, which requires the ability to probe the nanoscale properties of materials.
This enables the design and development of a new generation of engineering materials that are lighter, stronger and tougher than conventional materials.
The machine will be fully installed in October 2008, moving ECU to the forefront of nanomechanical research in Australia.

Increased activity in the submarine telecom and offshore renewables sectors has seen a dramatic rise in the usage of Sea Stallion cable ploughs designed and built by IHC Engineering Business (EB). Sea Stallion ploughs that have been 'resting' since the collapse of the submarine telecoms industry in 2001 have been brought back into service as this industry expands once more whilst Sea Stallion ploughs are being used at the majority of new offshore windfarm projects to install and protect submarine power cables.
EB has also recently received an order from Tyco Telecommunications (US) for an all new Sea Stallion 3 plough system for delivery Christmas 2008. |

PPL Shipyard, a subsidiary of Sembcorp Marine, has secured a contract from Sinopec International (Hong Kong) Co, a subsidiary company of China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation, to build a PPL Shipyard Pacific Class 375 Offshore Jack-up rig at a value of US$229 million.
This is the first newbuild jack-up rig to be constructed outside of China. Scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2011, the rig will be owned and operated by the Shanghai Offshore Petroleum Bureau, a subsidiary of China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec).
This high performance jack-up rig will be built based on PPL Shipyard’s proprietary design Pacific Class 375 and proprietary components. It will be equipped to drill high pressure and high temperature wells at 30,000 feet whilst operating in 375 feet of water. It will have accommodation with full catering and amenities for 120
persons.

A Gutenberg-style printing press built this summer at Bucknell University is on its way to Washington, D.C., where it will be featured in a prestigious library exhibit and then be part of the library’s ongoing hands-on education program.
The press, built by George Waltman, director of the university’s product development laboratory, had an interesting history – even before it left the Bucknell campus for its permanent home in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol building.
With very few modifications, the working press is an exact replica of a mechanical engineering senior design project researched, designed and built by three engineering students – Shannon Cooney, Patrick Kunze and Aaron Tajima, all Class of 2001. That hand press had been housed since 2001 for education and demonstration purposes at the Bertrand Library. It, too, lived in cyberspace on Web pages detailing the press.

In 1885, Danish engineer Poul Larsen traveled from Copenhagen to Coplay to learn about the cement-making process from cutting-edge industry pioneers at the Saylor Cement Co.
Larsen made the three-week trek by ship across the Atlantic Ocean on behalf of his boss, Frederik L. Smidth, a consulting engineer who specialized in designing steam engines and mill machinery -- mostly devices to help in the production of brick and tiles.
Not long after Larsen's trip, his company had a contract to build a cement plant in Sweden and he was made a partner. F.L. Smidth & Co. had a new direction and mission that would carry the business for more than 100 years. |

SCHAUMBURG, Ill.-IFS, the global enterprise applications company , announced today that Doppelmayr/Garaventa Group, a leading supplier of ropeways and other rope-based passenger transport systems as well as systems for bulk material transport, has signed a contract to implement IFS Applications. The group typically runs about 150 – 200 tightly scheduled projects and aims to optimize project control and execution with IFS Applications.
The new enterprise applications will replace a number of customized stand-alone systems that do not fulfill the need for an integrated, agile system which supports Doppelmayr/Garaventa’s international operations. The Group has production facilities and sales and service locations in over 30 countries including the U.S., and to date has built almost 14,000 installations in 79 countries. Forecasting, planning and timely delivery of work and material are essential for project-centric, engineer- to-order manufacturing companies, which require an ERP system in which all activities can be monitored and tightly controlled. |

A scabbed-over road burn on Erik Chamberlain's forearm serves as a reminder of a defining moment for a group of Portland State engineering students who competed at the annual ASME Human Powered Vehicle Challenge last weekend.
Chamberlain and a group of four other PSU students built their own Human Powered Vehicle (in layman's terms, a bicycle) for the Reno, Nev. competition, an event that measures how well students can design and build durable, fast and reclined bicycles.
During the endurance portion of the competition, Chamberlain took a hairpin turn too fast and crashed the bicycle, snapping one of its custom-made bike chains. It was one of many crashes the teammates took while pursuing victory in the competition.
"We all got some scrapes on us," Chamberlain said.
