ENGINEERING DIVISION
The Engineering Division has acquired wide experience in heavy fabrication and associated manufacturing activities connected with aluminium smelter refineries & other major companies in BAHRAIN and around the Gulf.
Our facility has been accredited to ISO 9002 by DNV. Every activity affecting the quality of company’s products is controlled by documented procedures to ensure that the customer requirements are satisfied. BAHRAIN WORKSHOP COMPANY is a well-established and reputable company offering a superbly equipped facility and a diverse range of services such as:
- Fabrication & Welding
- Precision Machining
- Foundry (Casting)
- Blasting & Painting
- Galvanising
- Rotating Equipments Division
- Site Operations
The Engineering Division was further diversified with the addition of CNC wire cut and CNC milling machine forming Die Division. The Die Division concentrates on the manufacture of extrusion Dies used in the aluminium industry. In conjunction, a foundry is at this time functioning with an induction furnace with high capacity.
Our manufacturing facilities include 150,000-sq. ft. covered area, which houses the Machine shop, heavy fabrication shop and light fabrication shop. EOT cranes varying from five tonnes to twenty tonnes lifting capacity cover the entire production area.
DIE DIVISION
The Die Division is equipped with the following:
- CNC Wire cut EDM
- CNC Milling machine
FOUNDRY
In our Foundry, we manufacture casting of steel, heat resistance cast iron and non-ferrous casting. We have the capacity of producing up to 1200Kg. Single castings using our induction furnace.
Spectrometer manufactured by M/s. Applied Research Laboratory in Switzerland. This is used for the analysis of the cast iron moulds produced.
GALVANISING PLANT
Applying the appropriate protective coating reduces or eliminates maintenance and defers the replacement date of the structure. Galvanising is an economic means of coating steel against corrosion. It combines low initial cost, low mechanical damage to the structure, and most of all long term resistance to corrosion.
BWC hot dip galvanising plant produces coating in accordance with BS 729.
ROTATING EQUIPMENTS DIVISION
The rotating equipments division is operated by a well trained group of qualified and flexible experienced technicians.
A wide range of tools and equipment are on hand in this department these include.
- Portable pumps.
- Portable generators.
- Portable compressors.
- Bench drills and portable hand drills.
- Various hands tool electric and pneumatic.
- Bench grinders and portable and grinders.
- One dynamic balancing machine for rotary equipment.
- Five lapping machines for disc and gate preparation up to forty-two inch.
- Hydraulic and pneumatic test equipment for low and high-pressure applications.
- Overhead crane facilities included at this time are a five tonne crane and recently added to the workshop facility a new crane with a lifting capacity of ten tonne.
These provide the entire necessary infrastructure required for a modern maintenance shop. We are already approved by the Bahrain Petroleum Company (Refinery) for pump and valve repair maintenance. Our existing contract with Bahrain Petroleum Company covers all repair and testing of refinery valves in accordance to API 598. Additional shut downs with boiler and utility valves for inspection and repair have been carried out during the last four year period for annual shutdowns, at Aluminium Bahrain power plant. (Alba) The Bahrain National Gas Co. (Banagas) and Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company (GPIC) have also supplied valves for inspection, repair and testing.
Other government bodies who have supplied pumps and valves for repair are the water distribution Directorate and also the sewerage Directorate. Recently this division has carried out several functions on repairs to pumps, pipes and valves on board ships for the US Navy.
HOSE DIVISION
The hydraulic hose division manufactures and repairs hydraulic hose assemblies. The hoses and fittings we use are manufactured by M/s. Gates Hydraulics (UK and USA) and Dunlop Hiflex, UK. We have a fully equipped mobile unit, which is available around the clock to attend to emergency hose repair services at site.
For the past years we have maintained the contract with aluminium smelter plant to repair and manufacture hydraulic for various applications.
