3 Our Fabrication Capabilities
3.1 Bulk Material Handling (BMH)
In BMH domain, our diversified expertise includes Design and Fabrication of sheet metals and steel
structures falling in light, medium and heavy structural fabrication categories.
Our value addition lies in our capability to supply items in a pre-assembled shop tested condition for
Mechanical bought-out components that are assembled with the structures, so our customers can save
considerable time and cost during erection and installation. This means our customers can deploy less site
man-hours during execution.
Our approach improves quality of the assembly significantly and eliminates human installation errors and
re-works at site. In a project, by planning well ahead we can also offer to co-ordinate and supervise the site
team and help them install the supplied components in a professional manner. The following are the major
components in bulk material handling domain which we can design, fabricate and deliver.

Our value addition lies in our ability to control smoke and dust well within Pollution Control Board norms
and ensuring our client the emissions control with less CAPEX and OPEX. We supply pollution control
equipment that are integrated with dust or smoke source in all major industries.
Our presence in this field is well acclaimed since 2007 and been a quite a journey in establishing a pioneering
company in the field of Structural Engineering emerged its roots from Mechanical and Civil disciplines. Over the
years we have gained rich experience in helping clients to achieve their dreams in quality and precision with high
cost effectiveness in implementing structural buildings. We have track record in design and delivering the
following structural buildings

4 Our Differentiators
4.1 Execute quality work with minimum inputs
We understand the cruciality of our customer’s time and purpose. Our team is structured and organized to
support our clients in design and fabrication assignments in fully integrated manner with close coordination
within our design and execution teams.
As we have our in-house design capability our clients could save considerable time in detailed engineering
by just offloading us the basic engineering drawings, technical specifications and quality specifications of
the project. If the quality specifications are not set, our client can just overlook our standard Quality
Assurance Plan (QAP) and add or remove their additional inputs during order finalization specifically for
material handling systems. We can also offer to develop basic engineering documents from the finalized
concept and get the approval done from our clients for detailed Engineering. This approach is highly
beneficial for our EPC clients to shoulder schedule bound projects.
In times, we work parallel with our client’s planning team to attain achievable results by diligent project
scheduling and therefore plan and synchronize our activities to streamline with the project goal.
Our team can use powerful softwares such as Helix, Beltstat, Simulation X etc., in-order to achieve the
dynamic analysis for long belt conveyors. In past we have executed belt conveyors having the length of 3
km.

Ficus got access to various papers pertaining to the Discrete Element Modelling and access to powerful
software resources like EDEM on assignment basis to simulate the transfer chute’s design. Together with
these resources we analyse the flow path of materials, behaviours and three-dimensional material
trajectories. With the real-time simulation capabilities, our designer can arrive at a best possible geometry
and alternatives and produce user-level video outputs for better understanding and prompt design of
chutes resulting in optimized chute geometry.
Our team having access to various field experts paper, the ROM hoppers are designed in an integrated
manner where the hopper’s geometrical parameters are interlinked and simulated numerically with belt
feeder to design the hopper’s optimum geometry and power requirements. The hoppers are provided with
V-shedder plates and drafted openings to reduce the residual tension on the bottom belt.
Having a hold down pulley in the system will increases belt resistance
and power consumption whereas it reduces belt life due to the belt is being constantly wearing out due to
the contact with hold down pulley.
On the other hand, the drawings are highly accurate, the design objectives are clear to all team members
even with limited drawing reading exposure. We possess experience in operating powerful softwares like
Tekla, Revit, AutoCAD 2D/3D and Solidworks.
