The BD Nuclear team have been as busy as ever! Check out just some of our top jobs
since the last newsletter...

West Sussex Fire Station and

Training Centre...
On this job, we were approached by a
company to assist with installing fireproof
tiles for the new state-of-the-art training
facility at Horsham Fire Station.

This fantastic new facility provides a
highly modern training centre, working
environment for staff members, and a
24-hour operational fire station.

Diamond Wire Sawing for

Northwest Galvanizing...
With this job, the metal finishing company
Northwest Galvanizing had an issue with
one of their galvanising baths that had
started to leak, leaving an abnormally
high amount of material to solidify at the
bottom. When the old bath was removed
and replaced, 110 tonnes of material
was left!

BD Nuclear’s team were tasked with
cutting 46 sections of 1.2m x 1.2m x
0.350mm, each weighing approximately
2 tonnes. They used the portal diamond
wire saw for this process, which saw cuts
vertically and horizontally.

The material in the bath was steel-zinc-
lead, which proved to be very difficult
to cut due to the softness of the lead.

This was overcome by using past
experiences in nuclear power stations
cutting lead. The job was a great
success, resulting in a very happy client!

There is alot going on behind the scenes at BD Nuclear and we have BIG news
coming soon! You can stay updated by following us on LinkedIn
