When a construction company commits to adopt a Web-based project management system, there are two possible strategies that the company can choose in developing the system: in-house development or outsourcing this activity to a professional consultant. Regarding the first option, construction firms that decide on in-house development should keep in mind the substantial financial, technical and human resources necessary to develop and to maintain the system. The second option, useful for companies with limited resources to develop their own Web-based project management systems, outsourcing strategies provide a variety of options.

ECT Fact Sheets Archive
Pneumatic capsule pipeline (PCP) uses wheeled capsules (vehicles) to carry cargoes through a pipeline filled with air. Modern large diameter PCP systems utilize through flow booster pumps, also known as jet pump injectors. These create the pressure differentials required to propel multiple capsules through a pipeline, while allowing both terminals at atmospheric pressure. This is done by placing a booster pump midway along the pipeline, and designing it in such a way that capsules can bypass the pump.
