HVAC Load Calculations
Calculate the heating and cooling load to assess the required capacity of heating and cooling systems to maintain specific conditions in the conditioned space, by using the building specifications, design indoor and outdoor conditions, process/equipment heat losses, occupancy load, etc.
Introducing the JNE Experiential Learning Fund at McMaster University
This is an initiative to provide students within the Introduction to Civil Engineering course the opportunity to engage in hands-on, real-world learning experiences. This announcement coincides with the 25th anniversary of JNE's establishment of the Endowed Chair in Civil Engineering at McMaster's Faculty of Engineering.
McMaster CIVENG2X03 Visit
In early November, JNE hosted a group of students from the McMaster University CIVENG2X03 program to tour 176 Shaw Street and the TCE fabrication shop. A unique aspect of the walkthrough included a visit to our fab shop, which provided the students with a clear and tangible view of the entire steel fabrication process from design to creation.
JNE at Specialty & Agro Chemicals America 2025
Representatives of the JNE Group of Companies attended the Specialty & Agro Chemicals America event — a forum that promotes chemical manufacturing, chemical technologies, and related chemical industry services that have specific applications for the agrochemical and specialty chemical markets — in Savannah, Georgia in July 2025.
AIST Women In Steel Conference
Representatives of the JNE Group of Companies are attending the AIST Women In Steel Conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from September 16–18, 2024. The second annual conference is a two-and-a-half day event supporting recruitment, engagement, and professional development of women in the global steel industry.
Gravity Flow Piping Design
Whenever liquid flows by gravity out of a vessel or down a pipe there is a potential problem of entrainment of gas by the liquid. Entrained gas not only raises the pressure drop but also reduces the static head available to drive the flow and overcome the created pressure drop. These effects can reduce the flowrate drastically below the design value.
Hydrogen Vent Sizing and Design
Discharges of gaseous hydrogen to the atmosphere shall be disposed of through an engineered vent system that complies with the associated code regulations and can withstand wind loads. Hydrogen-air mixtures are extremely easy to ignite — thus, ignition at the outlet of a vent should be considered as a design event rather than an emergency.
Emergency Lighting
Emergency lighting intended to provide illumination for evacuating a building/plant in the event of failure of normal power supply is considered to be part of the Life Safety System.
