At Bulk Material Equipment, the design-build, or EPC (engineering, procurement, construction), project delivery method is one in which the EPC contractor works under a single contract with a project owner, executing all project phases from start to finish. The EPC contractor is held accountable for capital project schedules, costs, and overall results, moving the risk from the project owner to the contractor.

What an EPC Contractor Does

Selecting and EPC firm allows for faster project completion, as all project phases are completed by a single company under a single contract. Many project owners choose to hire EPC contractors to highly execute schedule-driven projects because of this. The bonded flow of work completed by a single team from front-end engineering through construction allows EPC firms to develop project stages concurrently and optimize the staging of the project.

Front-End Engineering

Front-End Engineering, or FEE, service is an industry accepted and successfully used approach for the conceptual development of process and industrial projects. FEE is the work required to produce quality processes and engineering documentations of sufficient depth that defines an industrial project’s requirements for detailed engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction of an industrial facility or integration project. A FEE design and basic engineering focuses the technical requirements as well as capital budget cost for a specific industrial project.

Bulk Material Equipment has over 200 combined years of first-hand industrial designing, engineering, and construction experience. By being a designer, engineer, and general contractor, BME offers turn-key packages, which means a single point of contact for you.

Detail Engineering and Design

Once all Front-End Engineering and scope parameters have been established and agreed upon by all parties, the BME team can begin the detailed engineering and design phase. All disciplines and departments work together to produce the optimal design for project success balanced between budget, efficiency, and durability. Once the design has been developed, the BME engineering team provides a set of highly detailed drawings that will be issued for construction.

Procurement

This plan creates the framework for a strategic procurement schedule that ensures on-time deliveries to help maintain construction timeline. This plan determines the timeline for purchasing each item and identifies critical procurement milestones that should be updated as the plan progresses to assess any impacts on the project. Procurement management plans help the procurement team organize and prioritize all procurement activities at a commodity level while determining the optimal sequencing of activities. This plan should be shared with all involved parties to provide full transparency regarding critical procurement-related activities.

BME achieves remarkable procurement results for our clients in two ways. First, as an exclusive principal manufacturer’s representative. Next, our combined centuries of relationships with manufacturers and vendors for equipment, parts and components are guaranteed to be expeditious and ensure our procurement teams put their in-depth knowledge of suppliers and product specifications to ensure only the best-in-class and best-for-the-operation products are purchased and delivered to the job site on schedule.

Fabrication and Construction

As part of our extensive EPC services, BME offers its clients high quality, reliable full-service fabrication & construction services. We are licensed and insured to perform Heavy Industrial & Commercial Construction. We employ an extensive labor and craft pool that features highly trained and vigilant on-staff supervisors and craftsmen nationwide. Our EPC services include support for commissioning/start-up, operating, and facility shutdowns for integration. We offer resources in Civil/Structural, Piping/Mechanical, Instrumentation/Electrical/Automation, Quality Assurance & Control and Heavy Equipment Operators.

Selecting BME for your EPC needs comes with an internal communication advantage that allows our engineering and construction personnel to collaborate in internal constructability reviews. These reviews allow for prompt resolution of Requests For Information (RFIs) as well as the quality advantage that comes with our access to engineering resources that provide oversight of fabrication and field installation.
