BCMT strives to be a partner of choice for the most challenging projects worldwide, like this quadrupole for the High-Luminosity LHC upgrade underway at CERN.

BCMT’s technology research and development is typically focused on scientific needs within a project that has specific deliverables, a budget, and a schedule. Our team has experience in helping to plan and deliver projects of all sizes, from single specialty magnets to collaborations with multiple U.S. and international partners.

Scientific end users are key members of these project teams. We collaborate closely with them to understand their needs, choose technical options and solutions that maximize the facility’s scientific potential, and then develop the scope, cost, and schedule based on our extensive experience. BCMT benefits from a wide range of supporting strengths at Berkeley Lab, including project controls, financial management expertise, and diverse engineering and fabrication capabilities.

Magnet for an electron-beam ion trap, a project in collaboration with LLNL and NASA, exemplifies responsiveness to projects across a wide range of scope.

We possess broad knowledge and a deep understanding of industry capabilities—primarily in the U.S., but also internationally when necessary—that we can rely on for cost-effective and timely delivery. Our approach is to leverage these industrial capabilities whenever possible, consistently overseeing vendor activities while focusing our technical efforts on areas that require specialized expertise within BCMT.

We strive to be the preferred partners in applying these capabilities, with a proven track record of team science and meeting our commitments.
