For some of our projects, we prepare white paper documents that provide an overview of a project, as well as the technical elements of the project. In the article below, you will be able to read the intricacies of a plunger pump and crosshead sealing challenges, as written by our Engineering Director Mark McCormack. #PlungerPumps #Seals #Sealing Solutions #CrossheadSeals #FTL

Now here's something you don't see everyday. If you've been in construction long enough, you may have seen roof top units (RTU's) lifted and placed on top of large buildings via helicopter, when bringing in a crane capable of making that lift is just not practical. You may have seen concrete placed via bucket on the end of a crane. However, I have never before seen concrete placed via helicopter. Is this called helicrete? 🚁 ❓ Here's how you place 70 cubic yards of concrete, one cubic yard bucket load at a time. Good thing they brought two buckets. #construction #safety #innovation #meansandmethods #concretesupply #concreteplacement #concretetesting

On November 5th at JD Fields & Company, Inc.’s corporate headquarters in Houston, JD Fields and Kubota Corporation formalized an exclusive marketing and distribution agreement extending across North America, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean.    This strategic partnership merges Kubota Corporation's advanced Laqnican Mechanical Splice Joint technology with the established market strength of JD Fields & Company, Inc. and the precision manufacturing capabilities of their JDF-HDM Spiralweld Pipe Mill, delivering a much-needed alternative to traditional field splicing of pipe piles for heavy civil, transportation and marine/port foundations.   For more than two decades, Kubota Corporation's Laqnican Joint has set the standard in Japan and other Asian markets with over 20,000 successful installations. Recognizing substantial growth opportunities for their pipe division in North America, Kubota sought a domestic partner with expansive market reach and manufacturing expertise—one who could seamlessly incorporate their proprietary mechanical splice joint technology with U.S.-based pipe production to deliver an integrated solution directly to project sites.   JD Fields & Company, Inc. and Kubota Corporation are enthusiastic to launch this industry-shaping initiative in 2025. In addition to elevating safety standards, the Laqnican Joint technology offers significant efficiencies in project time, scheduling, labor, and equipment. JD Fields & Company, Inc. is currently quoting the Laqnican Joint for select temporary or private projects that do not require 100% Buy American compliance. While extensive validation testing has confirmed the technology's reliability, JD Fields & Company, Inc. and Kubota Corporation are conducting further mechanical testing in collaboration with leading U.S. universities to ensure optimal load performance in domestic applications. A Buy American-compliant M&M product is anticipated for release by Q1 2026.    Follow our updates as we share our progress with the market on this exciting journey. #Steel #Manufacturing #Pipe #Piling #Partnership #Construction

Conhagen’s West Coast Division recently completed a critical overhaul of a cooling tower water pump for a leading independent power producer in Northern California. The objective was to restore the pump to optimal condition, reduce downtime, and implement long-term improvements. Solution: Using advanced techniques, our team: • 3D scanned and reverse-engineered a new impeller • Manufactured new upper and main shafts • Replaced worn-out bushings • Fabricated and installed a new line coupling • Applied epoxy coating to protect components The pump was successfully restored to peak condition, enhancing reliability and reducing future maintenance costs.

On page 40 of the current "Werkstoffzeitschrift" there is a short article in German about our special concrete E80 for test benches and test systems. https://lnkd.in/emeHgvRx #UHPC #Dyckerhoff #machinebed #machineelement #durcrete #BSagmeister

Allcon and US-based Minnich Manufacturing have expanded their partnership to include Minnich's industry-leading pneumatic dowel pin drill ranges. We're excited to have seen Minnich drills recently utilised by major Australian construction companies involved in major civil/private infrastructure projects. The video shows an example of a 4-drill on-slab wireless remote configuration (also available in 3 or 5-drill set-up). Wireless remote control technology enables operators to drill up to five holes at once and drive down the slab to drill the next set of holes — all while standing in the grade away from the equipment. From this clear vantage point, operators can drill faster and more accurately while avoiding dust, debris and obstacles. Power crab steering further boosts efficiency by letting operators drive down the slab without raising and lowering the drill bed. Call Allcon Group today to discuss the Minnich range.

Hello, Engineeing Pros!⚡🛡️ Ever wondered how structures stay resilient against corrosion?  Enter SACP - Sacrificial Anode Cathodic Protection! But what exactly does it mean? In a nutshell, SACP involves sacrificial anodes (think magnesium, aluminum, or zinc) serving as heroes against corrosion. They willingly sacrifice themselves to protect vital structures.  Here’s why it's a game-changer: ✅ No need for external power sources ✅ Minimal impact on neighboring structures ✅ Easy installation & maintenance So, next time you see a structure standing strong, remember: behind the scenes, sacrificial anodes might just be the unsung heroes! #EngineeringMarvels #SACPSuperheroes #CorrosionProtection #SACP #CathodicProtection #Infrastructure #Engineering #MaterialsScience #Construction #Innovation #Technology #Sustainability #ProtectiveCoatings #MetalProtection #ChemicalEngineering #CivilEngineering #StructuralIntegrity #RenewableMaterials #GreenTechnology #EnvironmentalEngineering #CorrosionPrevention #AdvancedMaterials #InfrastructureDevelopment #UrbanPlanning #IndustrialEngineering #MaterialsEngineering #MetallicProtection #InnovativeSolutions #EcoFriendlyDesign #CorrosionResistance #ProtectiveMeasures
