DID YOU KNOW…? - #44 In addition to riding their horses on the left and jousting with their right hand, another reason driving on the left-hand side became law in the United Kingdom was to do with how knights carried their swords. Swordsmen preferred to keep to the left in order to have their right arm nearer to an opponent and their scabbard on the left – reducing the chance of the scabbard hitting other people. Here at Engenium we might not be experts in jousting or sword fighting (thank goodness), but we are experts in road design. Our Civil Engineering team have recently completed the design of two road upgrades in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

DID YOU KNOW…? - #43 7Up was created by Charles Leiper Grigg in 1929. The product was originally named ‘Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda’ and contained lithium citrate until 1948. Lithium citrate is a chemical compound that is used as a mood stabilizer in psychiatric treatment or manic states and bipolar disorder. Lithium is also a battery metal along with nickel, cobalt and vanadium. Each are used in large scale automotive and stationery energy storage systems. Engenium has experience in assisting the battery metals industry with their project requirements.

DID YOU KNOW…? - #42 Recent research conducted by the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) and KPMG identified that one of the key differentials of organisations that deliver successful projects is they are more likely to have formal processes in place around knowledge transfer, project management practices and competency. 66% of those who were identified as delivering successful projects have a formal review process for project managers and 43% of this group have a formal organisational development program. The skills most lacking in project management professionals are not technical project management skills, but rather the wider business skills necessary to navigate complex organisational dynamics – such as communication skills and contract negotiation.

DID YOU KNOW…? - #41 Sapphire and ruby are a natural form of high purity alumina (HPA) formed by Mother Nature - which are nearly as hard as a diamond. Smelter grade alumina (SGA) is used to make synthetic HPA which can be extremely lucrative to sell depending on its purity. For example, HPA at 99.9% purity can sell for $6,000 per tonne. However, HPA at 99.999% purity can sell for a whopping $50,000 per tonne. It’s this HPA that is used to make synthetic sapphire for LED lights and scratch resistant glass used on the latest Smartphones. Global demand for HPA is increasing. The HPA market is expected to reach $4.4 billion by 2022. This is a CAGR of 16.7% during 2016 to 2022. It’s a great time to start capitalising on the rising demand for HPA. Engenium is currently helping our clients with hydrometallurgical processing, including HPA production. Get in touch with Jason Hislop to discuss yours today.
