As land-based data centres face mounting constraints while trying to service increasing demand, new innovations are emerging.

The need for greener solutions is a key consideration and investments by companies like Panthalassa are leading the way.

The Oregon-based company has developed technologies that harness the power of ocean waves.

According to ESG Today, renowned sustainability investor John Doerr puts it this way, “Panthalassa’s autonomous wave power system is a game changer in addressing global energy needs and clean power generation. It is a triple win: workers benefit, communities benefit, and we gain a strategic asset that strengthens American technological leadership.”

And yes, we made the sphere!

Back in 2022 we built the first “soccer ball” sphere for the Bulb Float pilot project featured in this article…

It’s that time a year again for our Canadian customers.

At Conrex Steel, we’re thankful for so many things, and Thanksgiving is a good time to pause for a moment and acknowledge what we’re grateful for…

Family, prosperity, good health, friendships, and more.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

You need to stress-relieve steel after manufacturing steps that build up internal residual stresses, such as welding, rough machining, forging, or cold working.

Our newly installed furnace at Conrex Kingston has a heating capacity of 2,200ºF, and measures 60” wide x 54” high x 101” long. We can also handle parts weighing up to 6,000lbs.

This new capability represents more reinvestment in Conrex Steel, designed to serve you better.

Need a bigger furnace? Our Toronto location has you covered.

Pressure vessel heads are the curved or flat end caps that seal the ends of cylindrical pressure vessels to safely contain gases or liquids under pressure.

Some common uses for heads are in BBQ tanks, rail cars, and data centres.

We press them hot and cold using many alloys in virtually any size you need, from 6 5/8” in diameter to 216”, in thicknesses from 3/16” up to 6 inches,

We also make extremely large multi-piece heads for spheres in Oil & Gas and Nuclear.

Shout out to this year’s student interns as they head back to their studies this fall.

When you have locations in Canada and the US, the differences can popup in unexpected places.

Like that “U” in Labour, eh?

Canada uses it, the US does not.

And while we have our differences, it is our common ground that makes us successful.

Labour Day, or Labor Day if you prefer, is a good time to pause and think about the remarkable work forces that keep our economies rolling. Workers are the engine that drives prosperity in both our great nations.

Enjoy the holiday.

And rest for a spell.

We created Conrex Futures to provide mentoring and practical experience to the next generation of professionals in our industry.

Each year we provide paid internships to select students who go on to higher education and employment.

Karm Desai was one of the first participants while he was an engineering student at McMaster University. We caught up with him recently. He is now moving on to the University of Illinois entering a year and half program in pursuit of a Masters in Autotomy and Robotics.

His time with Conrex proved to be very influential in fine-tuning his interest and career aspirations.

“Actually being there in an engineering department was completely different form school of course,” he says. “Getting the chance to work on robotics inspired me. I got to see their robotics room in action and learned about some of the coding required for such precision equipment.”

1967.

Almost 60 years ago.

This plate was an important link to our past and a pathway for a returning customer.

Our friends at SaskPower needed to replace a head we built way back in Canada’s centennial year. Their only clue to who made it was this plate.

NatWeld Steel.

That was what we were called back then. Our Toronto location was founded as National Welding in 1948. They searched us out and we were able to provide them with the new heads they needed.

Pretty amazing.

When you’ve been around as long as we have and enjoy a reputation for quality and service, it shows up in the most unexpected ways.
