A section of a next-generation marine propeller blade has been successfully 3D printed as part of the Digitally Enabled Efficient Propeller (D.E.E.P) project, a seven-month feasibility program exploring additive manufacturing for maritime propulsion. The component was produced using wire arc…
Contractors can take on a broader range of projects with the compact excavator's zero emissions and quiet operation, including...
Eplus3D, a provider of metal additive manufacturing systems, has supported Hankook Precision Works in deploying metal 3D printing for tire sipes production. The collaboration has moved from initial evaluation to stable, repeatable production, with systems now in operation across multiple…
Attorney-client privilege protects sensitive construction business information from disclosure in legal proceedings, and clawback agreements provide an additional safeguard if privileged documents are accidentally shared. Construction firms should implement these protections to keep competitive and strategic information confidential.
ConstructConnect and Procore serve different phases of construction projects, with ConstructConnect handling preconstruction and bidding while Procore manages post-award execution and active project management. Understanding which tool fits your workflow depends on whether you need support before or after a project is awarded.
