BNC Engineering Solutions
BNC Engineering Solutions is a mechanical engineering consultancy with over 70 years industry experience.
News
Newcastle University
BNC have delivered new testing facility for Newcastle University ( Biological Engineering: Wastewater Innovation at Scale)
Finite Element analysis ( FEA )
Detailed analysis of components and structures using SolidWorks Simulation.
Includes contact analysis of assemblies, non-linear materials and thermal studies.
Fatigue, non-linear static, non-linear dynamic and linear dynamics studies are possible.
Sea Fastening Design
Design or Third Party Checking
BNC’s engineers have extensive experience of sea fastenings design including load calculation and sea fastening steelwork or rigging specification. We have gained approval for low-cost single-use cargo sea fastenings, long-term installation of deck equipment and reusable bolted designs for heavy mobile machinery.
We can carry out vessel or platform deck strength analysis to optimize the stowage arrangement and grillage alignment.
We have also carried out finite element and hand calculations to verify design proposals from shipping contractors.
Structural analysis
Structural calculations and Third-Party design reviews carried out to code requirements.
Includes reviews of mechanical and structural equipment for various applications including building access, offshore structures, renewables and marine equipment.
We have PTC Mathcad Prime 5.0 and 15 for hand calculations.
Component Optimization
We work with clients to identify design improvements:
• weight reduction
• failure investigation
• fatigue studies
• improving manufacturing processes
proof of concept development
We work with our clients to develop their concepts into detailed designs including CAD modelling, supporting calculations and documents or drawings required to justify the design. We can arrange manufacture of one-off or small batch prototypes, including rapid prototyping or machining.
