Bangladesh engineer urges reliability engineering in every engineering university, September 2026
A Views Bangladesh opinion column published on 28 September 2026 argues that every engineering university in Bangladesh should teach reliability engineering, citing water and wastewater systems, pump stations, power infrastructure and data centres as assets that fail under heat, flooding and salinity. The author frames reliability as a working culture of alarm checks, calibrated sensors, ranked risks, accurate maintenance records and root-cause studies, and links it to public health, economic productivity and climate resilience. No plant capacity, contract value, university, course module or implementation timeline is reported, so the procurement takeaway for plant managers and utility engineers is that the discipline of operations and maintenance, not the choice of biological reactor, is what the piece is asking universities to professionalise.
Ahipara wastewater project earns 2026 Ronald Hicks Memorial Award, October 2026
On 1 October 2026 the NZ Herald reported that the Ahipara Takiwā working group had won the 2026 Ronald Hicks Memorial Award from Water New Zealand for work on the Ahipara Wastewater Treatment Plant, which serves about 500 properties in the Far North District. The group worked with Far North District Council and technical specialists to improve discharge quality. A 2022 Te Ao Māori News report had previously documented faecal coliforms and harmful metals including arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead and zinc in the nearby Wairoa Stream, and recorded that consent conditions for the plant and landfill had not been met on several occasions. For plant operators and procurement leads, the award signals a recognised discharge-quality turnaround at a small coastal municipal works and sits alongside a separate multimillion-dollar Far North water and wastewater upgrade programme starting in Kawakawa.
