Last week, I visited AE Industrial Partners, LP's portfolio company Columbia Helicopters and had the opportunity to tour their impressive facilities in Portland. During my visit, I was able to learn more about Columbia's focus on continuing to build their MRO and OEM business, watch their massive helicopters (CHI-234s) being built and flown, and see their paint booth with its top-notch filtration system. Christian Boatsman saved the most interesting innovation for last. Columbia recently built a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant. Can you guess what's bubbling behind me? Thank you Christian and Brett Baird for the tour, I really enjoyed meeting the new CEO David Balevic and the entire Columbia Helicopters team.

🏭 Exciting News from Our Tarenpoint Facility! 🚀 We've just expanded our factory space by an additional 600sqm! This strategic move allows us to bring the manufacturing of larger AeroVDAFs and related vessels in-house, rather than outsourcing. 🛠️ 🔍 Why This Matters? Having our engineers directly involved in the production process is invaluable. It ensures they can see and touch the products as they come to life - a hands-on experience that fosters innovation and enhances quality control. 💡✋ 🤝 Collaboration and Innovation at the Forefront This expansion isn't just about growth; it's about pushing the envelope in engineering and manufacturing. We're committed to delivering the highest quality and innovative solutions to our clients. #ManufacturingExcellence #InnovationInEngineering #QualityControl #AeroVDAFs #EngineeringSuccess #FactoryExpansion #HandsOnEngineering #IndustryGrowth #Tarenpoint #ManufacturingInnovation
We're excited to announce the expansion of our Sydney factory, enabling us to fabricate larger and more advanced products. We're extending our current DAF range to include bigger AeroVDAFs, reaction tanks & sludge tanks - all manufactured right here in our Sydney factory. And we're not just expanding in size; we've enhanced our capabilities with FE Analysis to ensure quality and performance. Proudly Australian made, Australian Engineering. #Aerofloat #EngineeringExcellence #WastewaterTreatment #DAFSystems #AustralianManufacturing #Expansion #innovation Michael Anderson

The Underground Injection Control (UIC) program was established under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) to ensure that fluids injected into geologic media do not pose a threat to Underground Sources of Drinking Water (USDWs). On page 6 in the latest edition of The Illinois Manufacturer, experts from SCS ENGINEERS SCS FILED SERVICES SCS ENERGY explain the benefits underground injection provides to manufacturing and facility operations as a safe and proven way to manage, sequester, and isolate unwanted fluid wastes. Facilities can reduce net carbon emissions by employing Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) which prevents CO2 emissions from entering the atmosphere, promotes them as environmental stewards, and helps foster economic growth.

The crash system is based on the laws of nature and inspired by the automotive and defense industry, to dissipate the energy from a train crash in a controlled way in very short time. The principle of energy absorption is similar to the gas hydraulics buffers for automatic coupling, where you get the stroke in different interfaces and use available stroke with different individual characteristics. This system mitigate the risk of too stiff connections which lead to derailment, as the coaches behind are always pushing. The system is managing both the static requirement and the real dynamic demands with the pulsating forces, which occurs between the coaches during the collision. Low starting force and higher final force are the keys for good energy dissipation for safer trains, since the lower force level reduces the risk of the wheels being lifted immediately upon impact. A speed-dependent crash system, available for you to incorporate and optimize. Applicable for center coupler connections, front and side buffers, and articulated joints. Let us continue the journey of improvement and the progress made in the safety culture of the rail industry and let us be inspired by other transport industries. #railwaysafety #StayOnTrack #Sustainable #Availability #Reshoring #SSAB #STRENX #BILFINGER #Cooperation #Partnership #GreenBuffers #DalarnaSciencePark #AWARDS; Stiftelsen SKAPA Foundation in memory of Alfred Nobel and the Swedish Steel Prize by SSAB
