Project Scope

As the prime contractor for this multi-trade capital project, BMWC direct-hired and successfully delivered the boilermaker, pipefitter, and ironworker scopes of work. The construction of the new Naphtha Desulfurization Unit (NDU) was a highly complex endeavor. It included the receipt, offloading, and installation of 58 pieces of mechanical equipment (including furnaces), 34 pipe racks, process modules, and the pre-assembly and installation of 550 tons of structural steel. Additionally, BMWC installed platforms, piping, and electrical systems on towers and reactors, completed 596 module-to-module connections, and installed 7,200 linear feet of piping.

Before field construction, BMWC, the client, and their engineering partner collaborated as an integrated project planning team. This team worked off-site for several months to develop efficient constructability plans, which were critical to the project’s success. Their efforts minimized safety risks, provided accurate project estimates, and established a detailed project schedule. The team reduced waste by implementing an optimized construction sequencing plan and compressed the project timeline.

BMWC’s in-house virtual design team was pivotal, offering surveying and BIM support throughout the planning and execution phases. This approach ensured precision and contributed to the seamless delivery of this complex project.
