AN OVERVIEW OF OUR REFRACTORY CAPABILITIES

Sound Engineering Principles
Brahma Group engineers and project managers use sound engineering principles as well as their wealth of experience across a range of industries to analyze each individual refractory problem. If you have a unique challenge, Brahma Group channels the appropriate industry or refractory engineering expertise to help resolve the problem successfully.

Computer Aided Design
Brahma Group’s engineering and design capabilities in Salt Lake City are among the very best. Computer Aided Design (CAD) is essential for design and communication in today’s world, and CAD files can be transmitted electronically to the field and to our customers. Most Brahma Group project managers and engineers can access these drawings electronically from remote sites through our Internet / Intranet Portal.

We use AutoCAD for all of our new and existing plant refractory designs and frequently use CAD to illustrate the constructability of various projects and to present design options. On certain large projects, we can set up websites or FTP sites to allow easy access to CAD drawings for remote offices, customers, and CAD designers. This flexibility allows for real-time changes and comments during ongoing, complex design projects.

Equipment
Brahma Group purchases and uses only the best equipment and the latest, most efficient technology, plus we maintain all of it regularly for optimum performance.

Safety
Safety is a core value at Brahma Group, and we
maintain an excellent safety record. All employees
receive extensive safety training—both general and
site-specific to the area of work. Pre-job and
on-going hazard analysis is maintained at
all job sites.
