Are you Code Compliant? Why it’s Important!
The National Building Code was established in 1905 by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, in response to public safety concern after numerous disasters such as the Great Chicago Fire. In 1915 the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) published the...
Using the National Electrical Code for a Well “Grounded” Design
It is common for clients to disregard Grounding as an unimportant part of an Electrical design and adhere to the attitude “it’s just Grounding”. We are discussing Grounding as part of National Code Month because we feel it is categorically the most important part of...
Safety by Design Panel Discussion
This panel discussion will focus on how the Engineering Cycle is used by the disciplines of Structural, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering to evaluate and design safety into projects on the front end and reduce the dependence on safety rules to prevent accidents...
Voltage Drop: An ‘Electrifying’ Development
Voltage Drop is the loss of voltage that occurs due to the resistance or impedance through the conductor in an electrical circuit. Items to consider when reducing voltage drop is decreasing the current load, increasing wiring size or decreasing the length of the...
Using 3D Scanning with Condition Assessments
By: Daniel Bachinski As a project engineer on the Structural Team at Pearl Engineering, I’ve had the privilege to be trained with the Faro 3D Laser Scanner. The 3D scanner is something that has become an integral part of our workflow at Pearl Engineering across all...

Safety in Plant Layouts
Here is a little rule of thumb to determine the safe lifted load by an individual. Use the “big toe” test to test the weight of the object. If you can push the item with your toe, it is safe to move it alone. If not, ask for help. As we work in all types of industrial...
Onsite Construction Safety
In 2012, a Food Processing Plant that we provided engineering services for, asked if we could provide Onsite Safety Services to augment their in-house Plant Safety Manager during their annual summer outage with about 350 construction workers being onsite. As we have...
