We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Construction Industry",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Spray lubricants free jammed parts from
Maintenance Direct Europe, which we summarised at the time by saying "Mutts Nuts has been tested in both marine and heavy-duty dismantling applications and is capable of freeing parts that traditionally would require the use of burning
torches".
The day before,
we featured the news release Re-inforced PVC boosts strength and stiffness from
Polymer-Chemie: "The new material's increased strength and stiffness will usually permit a reduction in wall thickness while keeping product characteristics unchanged".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Bruel and Kjaer UK
- take a look at Sound approach to make engineering appeal to kids
which says: "A group of Year 12 students visited Bruel and Kjaer's Stevenage office recently as part of a Government initiative to encourage more children into science and engineering careers".
Take a look also at the news release from EngineerSupply, Engineering supply company expands service centre,
as well as Safety event programme released from Health and Safety 07,
and Heat recovery system helps meet green goals from Spirax Sarco.
