Lift & Rotate Tool
With mechanical design done in tandem with a controls team, this tool was designed to lift and manipulate a fully-assembled BE-4 rocket engine.
Hotfire Strut
Transport Tool Upgrades
Lift & Rotate Tool
This strut was designed and analyzed to withstand forces from a 550,000lbf engine hotfire test, as well as survive long term outdoor exposure.
Transport Tool Upgrades
Transport Tool Upgrades
Transport Tool Upgrades
Designed for rigorous ground transport load cases, components of the tool were re-analyzed and redesigned to meet a higher working load limit.
About Us
B.C. Engineering was founded by Chris Weber, a Mechanical Design Engineer in Seattle, Washington. With a degree in Nuclear Engineering, he began work in mechanical design for Toshiba Industrial in Houston, then with Engineers Without Borders in Peru and Sierra Leone before landing in Seattle.
After professionally brewing beer in the PNW for a year and a half, he worked with Blue Origin to design aerospace tooling for their orbital rocket engines, actively growing their research and development programs to full production levels.
