Matt Willson makes the case for modular chip plants

Matt Willson makes the case for modular chip plants

Holland Construction’s Matt Willson argues for modular chip and battery plants. ABC’s updated 2026 workforce estimate is 349,000 net new workers.

  • 0145% of contractors say a project ran late because they couldn’t staff it, making crew availability a bid-time question for owners planning a new plant.
  • 02Once modules are fabricated, design changes generally can’t be made, pushing decisions and costs earlier in the project.

Why a clean-looking aerospace part can still fail a residue test

Why a clean-looking aerospace part can still fail a residue test

Element Materials Technology explains NVR and gravimetric cleanliness testing for aerospace, defense and medical parts in a webinar featuring its Hartford and Los Angeles labs. Joe Moore and Katie Legowski show how a blank analysis, a solvent rinse and a weighed filter patch turn invisible residue into a number against IEST-STD-CC1246 levels, and how AMS 2700 F changed the passivation acid default in 2018.

  • 01Nonvolatile residue testing weighs what a solvent rinse removes from a part, so a film the eye cannot see becomes a pass or fail figure against the drawing.
  • 02IEST-STD-CC1246E, the document that replaced MIL-STD-1246 in 2002, sets residue limits from 10 nanograms to 25 milligrams per 0.1 square meter, and its particle levels count down to 5 microns, far below the 100 micron width of a hair.
