About the Company
History
The initial concept for AggFlow was born in 1989, after company founder and AggFlow inventor,
Bryan R. Lewis realized manual plant flow calculations were time consuming, inefficient and often
simple mistakes could lead to costly production errors. Mr. Lewis understood that knowing exactly
what was happening at any point in the flow process was critical to the overall production and
profitability of any aggregate operation. After several years of research and development including
live operation testing, the AggFlow program was brought to fruition.
Mr. Lewis holds a Bachelors degree and a Masters degree in Nuclear Engineering from Oregon
State University. He has worked as an engineer for Portland General Electric where he performed
safety analysis for the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant and for Impell Corporation where he analyzed
nuclear power plants in the US and the United Kingdom. He also served as the Senior Nuclear
Engineer in the Space Power Division at General Atomics before founding BedRock Software, LLC.
