ENVIRONMENTAL

Supavac pumps transfer hazardous sludge, hard solids, slurries and even dry sand as an alternative to submersible, centrifugal and diaghragm pumps. The pumps use advanced vacuum loading pressure discharge, a patented technology from Australia. They have no rotating parts, no electricity and no moving parts in contact with the flow. They can vacuum load from 200 feet away and discharge up to 2,900 feet away for on-site transfers. www.SupavacCanada.com

COMPUTERS

Autodesk has unveiled Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2008 and Autodesk Topobase 2008. The geospatial software tools provide a platform for sharing information across departments at every stage of infrastructure design, construction and management. www.autodesk.com
