Since it's inception in the late 1980's,
bungee jumping has been, and remains, the biggest rush
on the planet! It is still king of the adrenaline participatory
sports. BCI had helped clients in 21 countries establish
bungee jumping operations, and, in many instances, for
the first time in that country.
Whether you are installing a bungee
jump in an existing facility or establishing a bungee
jump site as a stand-alone operation, there are many
stages during your project in which you will need the
help of a professional.
I. Location Assessment.
The client often has a general location in mind, and
often has even chosen a site within a general location.
However, often the client is not sure if the chosen
site within a location is the most suitable. Here
we often do a site visit to assess the following;
a) Whether the site is accessible for construction.
If not, the site may have to be developed to accommodate
the required machinery and vehicle access.
b) Potential environmental impact of a chosen site.
c) Potential market draws.
d) Potential of site for ease of operations, etc.
II. Tower Concept Design. Based
on the chosen site location BCI will develop the appropriate
tower design, including the tower height, mix of activities,
rigging system, etc.
III. Site Layout and Concept Design.
Includes the orientation of the towers or structures,
retrieval area, administration, and video and retail
functions.
For stages 1, 2 and 3, a site visit is often required
to give the best advice. We treat these first three
stages as part of the courting process to determine
if we can work together on the rest of the project.
Therefore we provide this service at minimal cost to
the client, and the cost that the client does incur
in these stages will be deducted from the cost of the
other services if the client chooses to go further.
In most cases a report on this can be provided for under
$2000 + expenses (flights & accommodation).
IV. Tower Design Drawings. Once
the concept design is approved, BCI will create blueprints
and manufacturing plans. The design will consider
the soil conditions, wind conditions, earthquake displacement,
and other climatic factors as per the client's request.
BCI will also design the foundations required for
the tower based on geotechnical reports provided by
your local engineer.
V. Tower Manufacture. Once the design
is chosen and approved by the client, BCI will construct
the tower at our plant in Canada. The tower is assembled
in Canada first and then dismantled and prepared for
shipping. BCI will also arrange for the appropriate
shipping.
VI. Tower Installation. Once the
tower has been manufactured and shipped to your location
BCI will supervise the construction process. For complicated
projects we will bring a crew of experts to do the
installation. For simpler designs we can send one
or two construction supervisors and hire local steel
workers and other contractors to assist in the installation.
Often, the foundation can be installed locally and
be completed before we arrive for the installation.
VII. Equipment Sales. BCI provides
all the equipment associated with the tower type chosen
and can supply all replacement operational needs with
a two week lead time. Initial equipment cost is usually
under $10,000 and operational cost will depend on
volume. Cost per jump for rigging equipment is between
$2-3, depending on jump height.
You may request our assistance in all or just some
of these stages whichever you feel best suit your needs.
