  2. Shipbuilding Stages of Construction • Fabrication – Cutting of parts from raw material – Forming of parts • Subassembly – Joining of parts by welding to create interim products up to ~20 tonnes • Block Assembly – Assembly of 12m x 12m standard hull blocks • Pre-Outfitting – Installation of outfit on hull blocks • Blast and Paint – Abrasive blasting for surface preparation – Coating of hull structure and outfit items • Pre-Erection – Joining of blocks to create grand blocks • Erection – Erecting and joining of grand blocks to create the vessel 2

  5. Shop and Area Capabilities Subassembly Shop (24m x 168m) • Cranes – (1) 20-tonne with permanent magnet lifting beam for plates – (1) 5-tonne for handling profiles – (3) 10-tonne to support subassembly operations • Robotic profile line – Automatically cuts, bevels, marks and provides Subassembly Shop Cranes layout information from N/C files Robotic Profile Line • Plasma cutting machine – Cuts plates up to 3m x 10m from N/C files • Oxy-Fuel cutting machine – Used for fitting aids and small parts Plasma Cutting Machine 5

  6. Shop and Area Capabilities Forming Shop (14m x 130m) • New 1000T plate press – Forms compound shape in hull plating – Capacity up to 60 mm thick plate • Existing forming equipment – 1000T press brake – 300T press brake – 400T stiffener forming – 500T C-frame press – 8 ft plate rolls 1000T Plate Press 6

  7. Shop and Area Capabilities Panel Shop (28m x 170m) • Panel Line – Automated conveyor line to produce 12m x 12m flat stiffened panels • Single-side plate welding • Panel cutting, layout & marking • Stiffener fitting Stiffener welding • Single-Side Plate Welding – Three manual stations at end of line for installation of web frames, bulkheads, etc. Panel Cutting Stiffener Fitting Gantry 7

  8. Shop and Area Capabilities Block Assembly Shop (30m x 130m) • Cranes • Pin Jigs – (2) 40T bridge cranes each with two – Telescoping pipes adjusted to height 40T trolleys for block turnover to match hull form configuration – (2) 15T cranes for setting of web – Supports accurate assembly of frames, bulkheads, etc. complex curved hull blocks Chip Barge Construction in Block Assembly Pin Jig Upright and Base Pipes 8

  9. Shop and Area Capabilities Blast and Paint Shops (New Const. 30m x 60m & Repair 28m x 76m) • New Construction – Two blast positions • Steel grit vacuum and elevator recovery system • Dedicated dust collection system – Four paint positions Exhaust Ventilation System New Construction Paint • Repair – Building shell relocated to new foundation – New cladding, ventilation and blasting equipment installed – Accommodates vessels up to 75m in length and 22m in height Repair B&P Building Relocation Dust Collection System 9

  10. Shop and Area Capabilities Pre-Outfitting Shop (New Const. 30m x 180m) • Block outfitting – Installation of outfit components on structural hull blocks – 5 bays each 16m x 28m – 10 block outfitting positions • Module construction – Installation of outfit components on a Block Outfitting structural framework – Two bays each 16m X 28m Module Construction Pre-Outfitting Shop 10

  11. Shop and Area Capabilities Pre-Erection and Erection (76m x 230m) • 300T Goliath Crane – Schedule • Order Feb 28, 2013 • Design Mar-June • Manufacture June-Dec • Erection Mar-Apr, 2014 • Test Aug – Capabilities • 300T block lift • 200T block turnovers – Crane specifications • Two trolleys – 2 x 100 T – 1 x 150 T • Hook height 70 m • Bridge span 76 m • Travel speed 30 m/min • Hoist speed 12 m/min 11

  12. Shop and Area Capabilities Pre-Erection and Erection cont. (76m x 230m) • SPMTs • Rolling Mobile Shelters – 32 axles & 2 power units – (3) 30.5 m x 29m x 20m – Grandblock and vessel moves to 960 T • Loadout Pier • Careen Drydock – Provides level vessel transfer to floating drydock – Capable of launching Panamax vessels up to ~200m 12
