We get it. Capital projects are intense, cost a lot of money and take a lot of time. When you’re engaging with a new contractor for a project, you want to know exactly what their capabilities are and what you can expect when working together.

When undertaking a complex industrial capital project involving control systems, plant instrumentation/electrical systems and the necessary construction services and field services to install them, the fewer contractors you need to directly deal with, the better. It can already be a challenge integrating your processes with one contractor, let alone a range of organizations who all have different internal protocols for handling their workflow with you.

For the vain among us, putting on glasses for the first time can represent a threat to our carefully crafted image, and that can be unsettling. Finally, the cost of glasses, contacts or corrective surgery might cause some of us to put it off.

We’ve been hearing the ominous warnings for years now that the average age of the industrial workforce is creeping ever higher and the knowledge gap between experienced and new workers is growing larger every year. Guess what? It’s true! The good news is that at last check, the sky is not falling. Factory floors and machinery are not empty, void of workers to operate them. However, industry is indeed suffering with how to best retain the knowledge that is escaping as experienced workers waltz into the metaphorical sunset. Additionally, companies are grappling with how to best teach a younger demographic – with very different values and motivation – the entire knowledgebase that is required to be effective operators, maintenance personnel and engineers in a modern industrial setting.
