In 2019 BMD expanded operations into the Leinster region of Ireland.
Very soon after, BMD worked closely with Meptagon, especially Dedi Mezare, to secure a project on a new high technology facility in the area. The project was in a facility building that contained over 200 pieces of equipment and pipework up to 42”. The building required a large amount of re-design at project commencement without schedule push. This necessitated a large amount of BIM design development , which was new to BMD.
This was ably led by Ian Connell and his new team. The BIM re-design was in parallel to commencing workshop activities in Cork so work prioritization was key in keeping the workflow going. The project team was led by Paul O Sullivan with Brian Walsh acting as GF. Paul and Brian’s planning of the project was instrumental in delivering a successful and safe execution.
The building construction was complicated so sequential planning of the rigging element of the job was required. Due to the large bore nature of the project a temporary facility was acquired for the project duration. This workshop produced close to 250000 Weld Inches over the course of the project in Carbon Steel. The site and workshop teams delivered a fantastic result for both the client and the business. The client was very pleased with the professionalism that BMD demonstrated throughout the project. We expect that the project will be completed in this quarter, almost 3 years after initial engagement.
