Event Summary: Asset management is crucial for designing sustainable, adaptable, and future-ready systems. By integrating asset management principles into the engineering design process, engineers can ensure that assets are optimized for long-term performance, cost efficiency, and risk management. This includes planning for lifecycle costs, leveraging data analytics for predictive maintenance, and designing flexible systems that can evolve with emerging technologies. As challenges such as aging infrastructure and sustainability pressures grow, asset management becomes essential for creating resilient solutions to meet future demands. Engineers should embrace this approach to ensure their designs remain effective and adaptable in an ever-changing world.
Presenter: Darren Wiebe, P.Eng., founder and CEO of ASI Engineering, is transforming infrastructure management in Canada. With a career spanning hands-on fieldwork to leadership roles in government, he founded ASI in 2023 to bridge the gap between policy and practice. ASI Engineering specializes in asset management, offering data-driven solutions for aging infrastructure. Darren’s expertise in engineering, project management, and asset strategy ensures practical, field-based decision-making. Passionate about training future engineers, he emphasizes real-world application. ASI Engineering is more than a firm – it’s a partner in infrastructure renewal, shaping sustainable solutions that enhance communities and ensure long-term resilience.
Who Should Attend: Individuals who work in asset-owning organizations, especially those with asset management responsibilities who:

justify funding for critical infrastructure maintenance and upgrades
understand the scope of asset management and are tasked to know what and how to prioritize
are concerned with public or operational backlash due to the risk of infrastructure failures or lack of public safety measures

Hitting the right frequency - not all conductors are created equal
2025-05-23 12:00
Date: May 23, 2025
Time: 12:00 PM
Event Format: In-person Presentation
Location: Saskatoon, SK
Hosting Organization: Saskatoon Geoscience Discussion Group
Event Summary: Airborne time domain electromagnetic (EM) surveys are indispensable tools for subsurface exploration, particularly in resolving conductors at depth. Their depth of investigation depends in part on transmitter frequency and moment, as well as the noise levels of the receiver. In this study, we present a comparison of conductor detection and resolution capabilities of the Xcite time-domain EM system operating at frequencies of 15 Hz and 30 Hz. Through detailed modelling of data collected over a study area, we investigate the effect of these frequencies on the system’s ability to detect and resolve conductors. Methodologically, we describe the parameters and settings used for both frequencies and outline the data analysis techniques used. Our results reveal significant differences in conductor detection and resolution between the two frequencies. The practical implications of our study extend to improvements in survey design, suggesting that the choice of frequency can significantly impact survey outcomes. Moreover, our findings underscore the importance of further research to enhance understanding and optimization of airborne EM survey methodologies. Presented by Vessela Hobson, Chief Geophysicist Axiom Geophysics & Remote Sensing.

Decoding Welding Procedures: Bridging Metallurgy and Code Compliance – An APEGS Webinar
2025-08-19 12:00 - 13:00
Date: August 19, 2025
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CST (Saskatchewan Time)
Event Format: Live Webinar – Microsoft Teams
Hosting Organization: APEGS – A Member-Led Webinar Series Presentation
Registration is now closed
______________________________________________________________________________
Event Summary: Welding procedures are the backbone of reliable and code-compliant fabrication, yet their concept, development, and application often feel complex and confusing. This webinar aims to simplify and clarify welding procedures by bridging the gap between welding metallurgy and code requirements. Participants will gain insights into how the behavior of steels under heat—such as phase changes, hardening, and heat-affected zone effects—influences procedure design. We’ll connect these metallurgical principles to the creation and qualification of essential documents: the Welding Procedure Specification (WPS), Procedure Qualification Record (PQR), and Welder Performance Qualification (WPQ).
Presenter: Dr. Hamed Akhiani, P.Eng. completed his PhD in Materials/Mechanical Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan. With more than 15 years of experience in various industries including Agricultural, Automotive, Nuclear, Energy and Oil/Gas, he served as a sessional lecturer for Welding at University of Calgary and Material Science at the University of Saskatchewan. Dr. Akhiani is a Professional Engineer in AB, SK and BC and a certified Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) Welding Engineer. In 2021, he founded XPERJY Inc. based on the need for interdisciplinary technical training provided by Subject Matter Experts. His vision is to provide customized training by Subject Matter Experts to clients based on their team knowledge gap to enhance team productivity. He currently works at IMPACT Pump Solution in Calgary.
Who Should Attend: Engineers (mechanical, structural, chemical, materials, manufacturing), QC/QA professionals, inspectors, and code compliance personnel.
