A Forensic Guide to NPT Joints
Are you familiar with NPT (National Pipe Taper) joints? The term may not mean anything to you at first, but it is a configuration of threaded joints in metal piping commonly used for more than 100 years. This article provides an overview of the basic engineering concepts associated with NPT joints and debunks some myths.
Run, jump and play - The hazards of play structures
As weather gets warmer, children and families are likely to be spending more time outdoors and at the local play structure! Although playgrounds are usually fun for children of all ages, accidents can happen, which may result in injuries.

Unfortunately, a myriad of issues can arise, for a variety of reasons, in which case CEP can help you untangle the cause.
Most Memorable Files Series – Part 2
Whenever someone first meets one of our engineers, they are inevitably asked, “what’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen?” and, while we obviously won’t share identifying details, every engineer has a story! In part two of our series, we chatted with three of our materials engineers, Alejandro Mejia, M.Eng., P.Eng. from Toronto, Colin Allison, P.Eng., from Edmonton and, Harvey West, FEC, P.Eng., from our Vancouver office, to ask them about the memorable files they’ve encountered throughout the years:
Trucks, Trains and Excavators… the variety of heavy vehicles!
Heavy vehicles are part of our daily lives. Although many people are familiar with the tractor trailer, which we see in abundance on our roads, a multitude of other heavy vehicles exist, in all forms and for very distinct applications. They serve not only to transport material, but also to transform our environment by maneuvering, extracting and modifying natural resources, among other things.
