Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms
MGA Engineering Inc.
$300,000.00
Ship loader seismic protection system (SSPS)
FY 2021-22 · 2021-11-01
Summary
MGA Engineering Inc. proposes to undertake an R&D program to advance mechanical and algorithmic methods related to controlling the behaviour of land-based ship loaders located in regions prone to severe seismic events. These methods will aim at quantifying the engineering criteria and control functions to design 1) new shiploaders able preserve their operational readiness after such events; 2) retrofit existing shiploaders to achieve this operational readiness, post-even; and 3) develop the applicable design criteria that are not addressed by the current crop of accepted design standards such as ISO 5049, and ASCE 7. A summary presentation of the project is detailed in Annex A.

Description (French)
MGA Engineering Inc. propose d'entreprendre un programme de R-D pour faire progresser les méthodes mécaniques et algorithmiques liées au contrôle du comportement des chargeurs de navires terrestres situés dans des régions sujettes à des séismes importants. Ces méthodes viseront à quantifier les critères d'ingénierie et les fonctions de contrôle pour concevoir 1) de nouveaux chargeurs de navires capables de préserver leur état de fonctionnement après de tels événements; 2) la modernisation des chargeurs de navires existants pour atteindre cet état de fonctionnement, même aprèss; et 3) l'élaboration de critères de conception applicables qui ne sont pas abordés par les normes de conception acceptées actuelles telles que ISO 5049 et ASCE 7. Une présentation sommaire du projet est expliquée en détail dans l'Annexe A.
