NSWLC Shipyard Modernization Project Bob Hillstrom, SMP Project Manager October 16, 2014 Shipbuilding Stages of Construction Fabrication Cutting of parts from raw material Forming of parts Subassembly Joining of parts
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
