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
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.

The Structural Process
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.

The Structural Process
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.

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.

Mechanical Fabrications
! 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.

Mechanical Fabrications
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.

Mechanical Fabrications
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.

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.
