The process of cutting and shaping steel, aluminium, or other materials to create specific items is known as metal fabrication. The design for a metal fabrication project is generally created by a designer or an engineer. The design is then turned into plans by a contractor or engineer, who uses it to construct the planned item. In this post, we’ll look at some of the materials utilised throughout the manufacturing process and how it all comes together.

With the current turbulent geopolitical state, a lot has been said about the over-reliance on oil and gas, especially from Russia. While the UK and the U.S.A are talking about nuclear power plants with the potential of nuclear fusion in the future, China is planning something else in the Gobi Desert involving renewable energy.

In a collaborative effort between the United Kingdom and France, the Concorde was born. It was the world’s first supersonic commercial aircraft which was a cut above the rest and, perhaps, a few decades before its time. Having invested so much in building this revolutionary supersonic commercial aircraft, why did the Concorde fail?

EFC, or Earth Friendly Concrete, is cement-free concrete that typically results in a carbon reduction of 75% to 87% when compared to traditional concrete mixes. It consists of a geopolymer binding agent that is produced from the chemical activation of blast furnace slag and fly ash rather than OPC (ordinary Portland cement). As such, Earth Friendly Concrete may help to minimise the carbon impact of concrete used in construction projects.

High-voltage switchgear is a type of electrical circuit protection equipment that protects, regulates, and separates electrical devices. The electrical components are housed in metal enclosures where a switchgear line-up or assembly refers to a group of one or more of these structures. Since PRV Engineering specialises in high-voltage switchgear, rail product and Oil & Gas industries, here is a summary of what it entails and how it works.

Whatever your beliefs around global warming, CO2 emissions are real and have been linked to climate change. Carbon capture is part of the solution and while it’s not a new concept, researchers from the University of Delaware have developed a new method that can remove 99% of CO2 emissions from the air. Let’s take a closer look at what carbon capture is, how the process works and what the new method entails.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of 5G technology and how it could change our lives forever. 5G is the next-generation cellular data network and is slated to drastically improve wireless connections and data transfer rates. It will also be far more capable to power some of the most advanced technologies used in smart cities and autonomous vehicles among others.
Experts predict that 5G technology could have a huge impact on several sectors including manufacturing, defence and medical. In this article, we take a closer look at some of the most FAQs on 5G. Find out how it works, how fast the connection speed really is and whether 5G is safe.

The construction industry is a diverse one, with steel being used in many different ways. Architectural steelwork is an essential part of this and falls into two categories: structural steel and non-structural steel. In this article, we take a quick look at the differences, processes and how PRV Engineering works.

In the world of construction, every little detail matters and that includes the quality of materials, workmanship and the level of insulation for lower energy consumption. One thing you may not know is the significant difference window design can have. In this article, we take a closer look at a triple-pane window design from the 1990s that helped improve urban efficiency by some margin.
