BMC at the A’s game 4

Inside this issue:

Currently we are finish-

ing up a long stretch of

work over the past 18

months which saw us

complete a number of

large high-profile pro-

jects, including the re-

cently completed 1880

Mission, Exploratorium,

SLAC, and Market

Square projects along

with those winding down

at 717 Battery, UCSF

and 10th & Market, Over

these last 18 months

we’ve seen our headcount

reach historic heights,

topping out at 263 union

employees back in August

of 2012.

As we wind down on this

most recent stretch of

projects, we are busy

planning to ramp up

again for our next big

run. With another 9

large projects scheduled

to begin starting in Sep-

tember, we should begin

to see our head count

gradually rise leading up

to our next expected peak

in labor around February/

March of 2014, bringing

our current staffing levels

back to well over 200 un-

ion employees again.

Mike Tobin, Plumbing

and Piping Superinten-

dant expects to see about

100 new plumbing and

piping workers during

this ramp up, while Rick

Hood, HVAC Superinten-

dent, estimates another

additional 40 sheet metal

workers will need to be

brought in during this

time. This includes not

only increases in our need

for new field labor but

also increases in produc-

tion coming out of both

detailing and fabrication

departments as well, as

all of these new projects

will require a full spec-

trum of BMC services.

As we look forward to this

next large wave of activ-

ity for our company, its

important to remember to

welcome the new BMC

family members, teach

them the BMC way of

doing things, and remind

them of our focus on exe-

cution and safety at the

workplace. Thanks eve-

ryone for all that you

have done and are doing

at BMC. We are fortunate

to have a tremendous

amount of work coming

in the near future.

BMC recently completed work on the

fourth bore of the Caldecott Tunnel. When

fully completed, the fourth bore will carry

west-bound traffic through the tunnel, giv-

ing the passage two tunnels permanently

dedicated to east-bound traffic and two tun-

nels permanently dedicated to west-bound

traffic, which will eliminate the twice daily

shifts. The new bore is scheduled to be

open this fall pending final inspections.

As part of the final phase of construction,

BMC completed the installation of nine-

teen (19), 200-horsepower, bi-directional

jet fans. The 19 jet fans run along the en-

tirety of the three-quarter mile bore, which

stretches from Orinda to Oakland. The jet

fans provide ventilation, fresh air to com-

bat carbon monoxide, and will divert

smoke in the event of a fire. They will be

automatically triggered by linear heat de-

tectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and

nitrous oxide detectors inside the tunnel.

Under the supervision of project foreman

Steve Koenig, the 19 fans were fabricated

in house over the course of 8 weeks by Tim

Riley and Chad Pickett. Each fan was as-

sembled in about 5 hours and then stored

onsite until ready for delivery. The fans

were shipped out to the job-site one-by-one

for installation by Steve, Tim, Chad, Josh

Barillas and Dan Miller. Each fan, weigh-

ing 8,700 pounds, was lifted into place

using tandem fork lifts, then bolted into

place with a mounting system embedded

in the final lining concrete of the new

tunnel. All 19 fans were fabricated,

shipped and installed over the course of 4

months. Steve Koenig put together a

fantastic video which shows the various

stages that went into the fan installation

out in the tunnel. Check out the video on
