BIM Design Services

Computer-Aided Design (CAD)

BMI's in-house computer drafting department delivers efficient process design and development, optimizing customer service and adhering to tight timeframes. Our experienced team simplifies construction and plan checks. With a comprehensive parts and equipment database, our CAD department ensures precise and easily modifiable designs, fostering seamless collaboration between you and BMI.

3D Modeling

3D modeling transforms concepts into manufacture-ready designs, aiding visualization, optimization, and simulations. It streamlines the process and anticipates structural and spatial obstacles by providing realistic layout of the model within your facility.

BIM Design Services

BIM design services enhance 3D models with real-world data, including parts details, schedules, and maintenance records. This enables predictive maintenance and planning.

A primary benefit of BIM is it allows the plant architecture, mechanical (HVAC), plumbing, fire protection, and the process equipment to cohabitate a virtual space to check for collisions and space issues.

Key Components of Our CAD, 3D, and BIM Design Services

BMI engineers and process designers develop:

We use cutting-edge design tools such as:

BMI engineers and process designers develop:

Piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) drawings
Bill of materials (BOMs)
Process flow diagrams
3D models
Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Reliable and detailed plant layouts
Electrical wiring diagrams
Final line layouts and drawing packages
As-built drawings

We use cutting-edge design tools such as:

Autodesk Inventor
Revit
AutoCAD Plant 3D

Our designers use these collaborative tools to ensure design clarity, prevent collisions and improve project communication. Whether you need a new process system design and/or as-built drawings for a legacy system, BMI will deliver.

Safety is at the core of everything we do

At BMI, prioritizing safety safeguards both our workforce and clients, enhancing productivity and profitability. We integrate food safety into our processes and maintain ongoing worker safety through our dedicated safety management team. Beyond financial gains and improved productivity, this approach fosters a culture of unwavering commitment to safety among our employees.

We have an extensive safety program and an outstanding safety record

Our systems adhere to 3-A sanitary design, FDA, FSMA, USDA, ASME, OSHA and UL regulations. Our project managers and foremen are OSHA 30 certified and conduct daily job hazard analysis (JHA), job safety analysis (JSA) meetings, and weekly team safety meetings. Our skilled journeymen are OSHA 10 certified and trained to adhere to our high safety standards.

Our proactive approach is reflected in our outstanding safety record. In our more than 40 years of operation, our .66 experience modification rate (EMR) has consistently surpassed the industry average of 1.0.
