BMW Constructors, Inc. Honored with Multiple Awards at The Northwest Indiana Construction Banquet
The Northwest Indiana Business Roundtable (NWIBRT) and Construction Advancement Foundation (CAF) presents BMW Constructors, Inc. with three (3) awards at the annual banquet.
BMW Constructors, Inc. (BMW) once again is the recipient of the “Safety Recognition Award” from the Northwest Indiana Business Roundtable (NWIBRT). The award is in recognition of BMW’s continuing improvements in safety for the past three years.
Additionally, BMW’s own, Doug Patton, received a special safety award from NWIBRT. The “Roger Walters Memorial Safety Award” went to Doug because he exemplifies the slogan “Never give Safety a Day Off.” BMW is proud to have an employee so dedicated to safety.
Finally, the Construction Advancement Foundation (CAF), presented BMW and NIPSCO with the joint award “Industrial Project of the Year” for the C8 Coal Conveyor Replacement Project at the Michigan City Generating Station. The project, as a result of a serious fire in the coal conveyor, required BMW’s crew to work quickly and accurately in harsh winter conditions. In just three short months, the entire conveyor was removed and replaced with a new coal conveyor system redesigned to meet new code requirements. Most importantly, the project was accident-free.

BMWC Constructors last Saturday lifted several pieces of mechanical equipment to the top of the H Wing of the Magnuson Health Sciences Center at the University of Washington. The mechanical contractor is expected to make a second series of lifts tomorrow.
BMWC last week used a Grove 300-ton hydraulic crane to lift a 20,000-pound air-handling unit to the top of the building's north side. Crews also lifted two chillers (weighing 6,000 and 8,000 pounds) and some smaller components, such as heat-recovery coils, an exhaust fan and duct sections. The crane had a 198-foot boom with a 70-foot jib. The materials were moved in six picks.
Tomorrow, BMWC will use a 360-ton hydraulic crane with a 184-foot boom and 160-foot luffing jib. Crews will move similar mechanical equipment to the top of the building's south side in eight picks.
BMWC project manager Kevin Flannery said they will start setting up the crane at 4 a.m. and should finish the lifts in the late afternoon.
Ness Cranes is supplying the cranes and operators. PSF is doing sheet metal work as a subcontractor to BMWC.
BMWC is a subcontractor to Skanska USA Building for the $35 million H Wing renovation, which includes a gut and renovation of five floors. BMWC's $10 million subcontract includes mechanical, plumbing, HVAC and controls.
The renovated H Wing is expected to be commissioned and tested this summer, then turned over to the university in October.
