Working with Industry

SRC's RD&D in pipe flow technology helps resource industries expand the horizons of how and where they operate. We conduct commercial-scale studies of clients' concepts for safe, cost-effective:

• Extraction
• Transportation
• Processing
• Waste disposal of mineral and oil resources

Our clients, large and small, understand how the power of pipe flow technology can transform the way they do business. Since 1967, we have collaborated with Canada's resource industries on a range of ground-breaking pipeline and fluid mechanics applications. A few examples are:

• Hydrotransport of oil sand slurries to enable remote mining
• Horizontal well recovery and production of heavy oil
• Paste backfill disposal of industrial tailings
