Fabrication of modular steel and polyethylene components for ice impact testing facility.
The National Research Council of Canada's Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering Research Centre (NRC-OCRE) requires fabrication and delivery of mechanical components for its Heavy Impact Test Theater (HITT), a facility for full-scale ice impact testing. The scope includes manufacturing a modular Hammer Assembly (welded steel cubes and plates), an Anvil Assembly (machined LDPE and aluminum), a Free Sway System (steel frame with guide rails), and a Surge Restraint System (structural frame with shock absorber integration). All components must be fabricated per NRC engineering drawings and specifications, with strict dimensional tolerances and load requirements. The contractor must deliver the primary structural assemblies; no specific certifications or set-asides are mentioned. The contract value is not disclosed.
