This March, the industry will gather at the Cutty Sark in Greenwich, London, for the inaugural Engineering Matters Awards. Over the next two weeks, we’ll be introducing all of the shortlisted entries.
The Awards will demonstrate why engineering matters. We’ll be sharing some exciting innovations. And we will be looking at a range of ways engineers and those in related fields can have a wider impact on the world.
In this second episode, we are looking at the health and safety category. We’ll find out how design changes to hydraulic wrenches used on oil rigs and wind turbines can reduce dropped tool hazards. We’ll learn how the condition of pantographs, used to power electric trains, can be monitored automatically. And we’ll discover how the rail companies can survey entire national networks, quickly and accurately, without putting workers at risk.
Guests
Rhodri Williams, global product manager, AtlasCopco
Murven Wan, mechanical design engineer, Transmission Dynamics
Adam Carlin, business developer, Fugro
