Sarnia-Lambton is the third largest manufacturing sector in Ontario with $24 billion economic output (2014) from its petrochemical and refining cluster. This cluster has been the major source behind the establishment of many small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) specializing in fabrication, engineering and environmental services. However, over the last twenty years there has been a decline and stagnation in manufacturing projects initiated by these large companies. Several initiatives have addressed this problem - economic diversification, building innovative companies, and establishment of industry clusters. ****In 2013, Lambton College established the Bluewater Technology Centre (BTAC), an Advanced Manufacturing Centre, to provide manufacturing applied research, technical services and specialized training activities to new companies, existing SMEs, and large manufacturing industries. Since its establishment, BTAC has been very successful, engaging 357 companies (301 SMEs) and providing 85 applied research projects and 389 technical services. BTAC has been very well received and continues to grow; however, there are infrastructure gaps that limit BTAC's ability to effectively carry out current projects and establish new ones. The biggest limitation involves manufacturing equipment. The requested equipment listed in this proposal, aims to fill this infrastructure gap by adding and updating equipment for applied research that is complimentary to the existing infrastructure. Initially, the requested equipment will be initially utilized by eight (8) local and regional companies and will be used by Lambton College researchers through the Bluewater Technology Access Centre.****

Sarnia-Lambton是安大略的第三大制造业，其石化和炼油集群的经济产出为240亿美元（2014年）。这一集群是许多专门从事制造、工程和环境服务的中小型企业的主要来源。然而，在过去的二十年里，这些大公司发起的制造项目出现了下降和停滞。有几项举措解决了这一问题-经济多样化、建立创新公司和建立产业集群。* 在2013年，兰顿学院成立了蓝水技术中心（BTAC），先进的制造中心，提供制造应用研究，技术服务和专门的培训活动，以新公司，现有的中小企业和大型制造业。自成立以来，BTAC一直非常成功，吸引了357家公司（301家中小企业），提供了85个应用研究项目和389项技术服务。BTAC一直深受欢迎，并继续增长;然而，基础设施方面的差距限制了BTAC有效开展现有项目和建立新项目的能力。最大的限制涉及制造设备。本建议书中所列的所需设备旨在通过增加和更新补充现有基础设施的应用研究设备来填补这一基础设施缺口。最初，所要求的设备最初将由八（8）家当地和区域公司使用，并将通过蓝水技术访问中心由兰顿学院的研究人员使用。*
