Sometimes called a forklift truck, the forklift is a powerful industrial truck that is used to lift and transport material by steel forks that are inserted under the load. Forklifts are commonly used to move loads and equipment that is stored on pallets. The forklift was developed in 1920, and has since become a valuable piece of equipment in many manufacturing and warehousing operations.

Types of Forklifts
The most common type of design with forklifts is the counter balance. Other types of designs include the reach truck and side loader, both of which are used in environments where the space is at a minimum.

Marcus Evans – Plant Start-Up & Commissioning

Plant start-up and commissioning is a complex issue requiring, great planning, leadership, teamwork, training, and communication. The start-up and commissioning of new plant and equipment poses a major technical and management challenge.

This conference which is part of World Engineering Congress will address key issues such as preparation, start-up execution, typical start-up problems, pre-commissioning and operational testing, contractors and vendor personnel, the commissioning team and many more issues that will lead to more cost effective, safer and timely executions.

Join world class companies and gain insights as they discuss and share their invaluable experiences with start-ups and commissioning.

World Engineering Congress (WEC) offers solution providers a platform to meet your sales, marketing and business development objectives. This congress is the ideal intersection for engineers across industries to discuss and debate pivotal industry issues. This is the arena to showcase your business solutions available for enterprises. Marcus Evans recognises the role of engineers in creating a sustainable future. The engineering profession globally needs to become part of the solution, finding answers with multiple benefits. The theme for the World Engineering Congress 2008 is ‘Engineers Shape the Sustainable Future’.

WEC is the amalgamation of 6 cutting edge conferences and 4advanced training programmes running parallel with an international exhibition under one roof that is freely accessible by all delegates over two days.

A crane is a tower or derrick that is equipped with cables and pulleys that are used to lift and lower material. They are commonly used in the construction industry and in the manufacturing of heavy equipment. Cranes for construction are normally temporary
structures, either fixed to the ground or mounted on a purpose built vehicle.

They can either be controlled from an operator in a cab that travels along with the crane, by a push button pendant control station, or by radio type controls. The crane operator is ultimately responsible for the safety of the crews and the crane.

Skywalk commonly known as The Glass Bridge is one of the aspiring civil engineering project which shows the unmatched thinking of civil engineers.The construction of this glass bridge started in March 2004 .Glass Bridge will be suspended 4,000 feet above the Colorado River on the very edge of the Grand Canyon. In 2005, it was tested for its structural ability and the results were really very good. It passed all its engineering requirements by 400 percent and therefore the total load which this glass bridge is able to withstand is equal to the weight of 71 fully loaded Boeing 747 airplanes which is more that 71 million pounds. The bridge will be able to sustain winds in excess of 100 miles per hour from 8 different directions, as well as an 8.0 magnitude earthquake within 50 miles. It is said that more than one million pounds of steel was used in the construction of the Grand Canyon sky walk.

The compact hydraulic excavator can be a tracked or wheeled vehicle with an approximate operating weight of 13,300 pounds.Normally, it includes a standard backfill blade and features an independent boom swing. The compact hydraulic excavator is also known as a mini excavator.

A compact hydraulic excavator is different from other types of heavy machinery in the sense that all movement and functions of the machine are accomplished through the transfer of hydraulic fluid.The work group and blade are activated by hydraulic fluid acting upon hydraulic cylinders.The rotation and travel functions are also activated by hydraulic fluid powering hydraulic motors.

With the ambitions of civil engineers flying high and high, Korean Heerim Architects has tried to reinvent the skyscraper with their two projects in central Asian republic of Azerbaijan. They have proposed a skyscraper to be built in Baku, capital of Azerbaijan with a view on the Caspian sea. The name of one of the building is proposed as Full Moon Bay and the other is Crescent and Caspian Plus.

Here are few pictures of what could possibly be a real challenge for civil engineers to built
