BS 1090 CE Welding In The Humber
We are currently working on a project to fabricate a Pipe Thruster Frame that will carry a pipe line under the river Humber from the South Bank to the North. This has been a magnificent achievement for our coded welders who have worked to our BS 1090 CE standard to create a complex structure that weighs in excess of 20 tonnes.
Our team have worked to very tight tolerances with all welding performed at the highest level. We have non-destructive tests performed on our welding so we know that they conform to a very high standard and are 100% solid.
”Bacon Engineering undertook the fabrication of a bespoke support frame for HPT JV, as part of the World’s Longest Pipeline Insertion. This frame provided support to the main piece of equipment for the Insertion process, a 750t pipe thruster. During the pipeline insertion process the frame was subject lateral loads up to 500t. It performed exceptionally well and is a testament to the quality of the fabrication works carried out by team at Bacon Engineering.
Throughout the procurement and manufacturing process, the HPT JV received a fantastic service from those at Bacon Engineering and will continue to utilise them in the future.
