Structural Fabrications

! BCI Engineering is highly competitive in structural

fabrication.

! Steel pipe, beam, and plate weldments to AISC

standards using AWS certified welders.

! Manufacture stand-alone facilities and structures

housing mechanical work.

The Structural Process

Detailing

! BCI takes design from concept stage to 3D

models to shop drawings

! Services include:

" 2 Dimensional Drawings

" Isometric Drawings

" 3D Rendering

" 3D Assembly Modeling

Structural Fabrications


5/19


Material Purchasing

! Fabricates from any commercially available

metals.

! Highly experienced in specifying international

material equivalents which allows the use of

local resources thereby lowering costs.

! Rigorously monitors quality and can provide

certification on all materials.


6/19


Sawing, Plate Cutting, and Drilling

- Oxyacetylene cutting

- Plasma cutting

- Laser cutting- Water cutting

- Automated sawing

- Anglemaster

- Autmated drilling

- CNC milling

- CNC beam drill line

Dimensional reports are kept

for all cut pieces.

Fitting and Welding

! BCI uses AWS certified welders on allprojects and has its own Certified WeldInspector (CWI) on staff to ensure that bestwelding practices and all customerspecifications are met.

! All major types of arc welding, as well asmost forms of precision welding areavailable. For beam work, automatedsubmerged arc welding is used.

!Dimensional records of all fit up sectionsare kept.

Weld Inspection

! BCI Production Manager Scott Powrie, with 10years of experience in fit up, welding and

welding management, certifies all critical welds.He is a Certified Weld Inspector (CWI)

! BCI can also arrange 3rd party inspection usingall methods of Destructive and Non DestructiveTesting (NDT) anywhere across Asia, NorthAmerica and Latin America.

Field Installation Support

! BCI can organize support teams for field installations;they can be dropped into any region of the world.

! BCI full-time foreman, Sam Loh, not only supervisesshop teams, but organizes mobile teams for field worksupport.


12/19

Mechanical Fabrications

! Mechanical Fabrications is a keyBCI forte.

! Not only do we work with verycompetitive fabricators, but BCIsnatural advantage in engineering,global components procurement,machining, quality and projectmanagement comes fully together.


13/19


! Mechanical fabrications are similar to structuralfabrications, and follow the same essential process ofmanufacture. However, mechanical fabs are morecomplicated and usually require:

"More design and engineering work

"Additional non-fabricated components

"Heat-treating

"Heavy-duty machining

"More in depth non-destructive testing

Engineering and Design Team

! BCI engineers in Pittsburgh work closely with clients to

design new systems, or to re-engineer systems to fitnew applications.

! BCI engineers work closely with vendors to identifylocal material equivalents that match ASTM materialstandards.

!BCI drafters and detailers are based in Vietnam andChina, and work daily with our US engineers.


15/19


Non-Fabricated Components

! These are usually castings, forgings, gears, pulleys

bearings/bushings, and hydraulics.! BCI can source these items from all over the world;

though mostly we manufacture in China and Korea.

Stand-alone components are a major part of BCIs business. Please see

BCI Castings & Forgings.ppt for more info.


16/19


Heat-treating: stress-relieving and hardening

For castings and forgings BCI can handle many types of heat-treating. Most

of our Mechanical Fabs require the following:

! Stress Relieving

" Reduces internal stresses in welds.

" Occurs after fit-up and welding but before machining.

! Surface Hardening

" Increases surface hardness of wear parts with application of heat! by flame (flame hardening) or,

! by induction coils (induction hardening).

" Usually on isolated parts of fabs,

! e.g. rails, wear plates, wheels, rollers, etc.


17/19


18/19


Non-Destructive Testing

! Mechanical fabs frequently require certified 3rd partiesto perform testing on safety-critical sections. While BCIis equipped to perform most tests, professional 3rdparty agencies provide an extra level of guarantee. BCIworks with many in the region.

In some cases, destructive testing is

required on first article samples.
