APEGGA Monitors Investigation
Of
Horizon Tank Collapse
APEGGA issued a news release today related to a recent tragedy in the oil
sands.
“There is no evidence to suggest that unskilled practice or unprofessional
conduct played a part in the tragic failure of the structure on the CNRL Horizon
site in April. Should such evidence come to light, as a result of ongoing investigations
by the province, then APEGGA’s disciplinary process would come into play,” says
President John McLeod, P.Eng.

We’ve sent letters

More Climate Change Perspective Needed
In last month’s e-PEGG, we linked readers to
a Canadian Standards Association survey on climate change. More response is still
needed, the CSA tells us, from engineers involved in water infrastructure, transportation
infrastructure and buildings. If any of those areas apply to your work, the CSA
would appreciate a few minutes of your time.
