At Cemcorp, we believe in the importance of recognizing achievements. Today, we celebrate one of our own. We are delighted to announce our 40th Anniversary! Our origins go back to the late 1800’s when William Coulter Sr. and George Booth joined forces to form a coppersmith company. Over the years, the company evolved, becoming Coulter Copper & Brass with leadership being passed from father to son. Michael Coulter took over the company in 1976 and over the next 8 years he changed the company’s focus to work solely in engineering and project management. On March 16th, 1984, he incorporated Cemcorp Ltd.
The world of engineering design is constantly evolving, driven by advancements in technology and a push to maximize efficiency, sustainability, and innovation. The emerging technologies are transforming the way engineers conceptualize, design, and collaborate on projects. In this blog, we’ll review the engineering tools that are gaining attention in engineering design, including AR, generative design, and more.
Last year Cemcorp Ltd. reached a record number of jobs delivered. One of the reasons for this is in large part due to the increase in volume of Canadian Registration Number (CRN) jobs completed. Not only have we completed more CRN jobs than any year prior, but we have also seen an increase in the volume of work coming from the United States and Overseas. Our Brewery/Distillery based business has also seen a positive trajectory in 2019 with increased inquiries coming from Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic Provinces. There has been a steady flow of business for our consulting services relating to Pre-Start Health…
Canadian engineering services are now being requested to develop new products using cannabis, for the Canadian marketplace and beyond. As of October 17, 2018, Cannabis is legal in Canada. Although restrictions vary by province, it is legal across the country. Since there are many different ways that it can be used, the legalization of cannabis has had a very positive effect on the engineering industry. Cannabis has now become a key ingredient in many edibles, oil, pharmaceuticals, medical formulations, cosmetics, fuel, and drinks. This has sparked a demand for engineering services …

You have a new product and want to start marketing it – great, but the next question is how to start manufacturing it to get it to market. Building up a business can be scary, which is why starting small and scaling up is the safest bet. But where to begin?
The key to scaling is to do it in a way that makes sense for your business.
We thought it would serve as a necessary introduction to outline the most commonly asked questions and answers we have addressed with respect to CRN’s. We hope you find this helpful and encourage you to get in touch with us if you have any further questions.
Another year has come and gone, while a brand new year is under way. Here’s a quick look back at our very eventful 2016, and quick glance forward at what’s on tap for 2017. We have grown quite a bit over the past year and are looking forward to that momentum continuing in 2017.
1. WHAT is a Prestart Health and Safety Review (PSR)? A Pre-Start Health and Safety Review (PSR) is an audit completed by a Professional Engineer of any industrial apparatus, protective element, process, or structure, to ensure compliance with applicable standards with Section 7 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act. 2. WHEN is a Prestart Healthy and Safety Review (PSR) required? According to Section 7 of Regulation 851 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (S.7 of O.Reg. 851) the following items are examples requiring a Pre-Start Review: • When a building, room or area is used to store or dispense flammable liquids • When the following protective elements are used: light curtains and screens area scanning systems radio frequency systems and capacitance systems safety mat systems two hand controls barrier guards using interlocked electrical or mechanical safeguards • When racking or stacking structures are used to store material • Where processes that involve a risk of ignition or explosion are installed or modified • When a dust collector is used that involves a risk of ignition or explosion • When a factory produces aluminum or steel, or a factory that is a foundry • When a lifting device, traveling crane or automobile hoist is installed or modified • When a process uses or produces a substance (i.e. chemical) that may result in the overexposure of a worker to limits prescribed by Ontario regulations Source: https://www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/hs/pubs/psr/psr_4.php 3. WHY is conducting a Prestart Health and Safety Review (PSR) a good idea? There are several benefits to conducting a PSR but here are the three main ones: 1. It identifies safety issues to be corrected in an organized and effective manner. 2. Potential cost savings can be identified as a result through work efficiencies and proper installation and placement of equipment. 3. Safe operation and installation of equipment reduces the risk of injuries, lost time and can potentially lower insurance premiums by preventing workplace injuries. 4. WHO A professional engineer only must conduct a PSR, and sometimes depending on requirements, a professional engineer from more than one discipline may be required. When this is the case, the names and disciplines of all reviewers involved should be outlined and included in the report. Pricing is based on various factors, such as the type of machine or equipment, type of installation being reviewed, and technical documentation available.
