Shipbuilding and heavy steel structures

Shipbuilding and heavy steel structures

The division focuses on

  1. Shipbuilding:
    • Shipbuilding activities are conducted under the supervision of classification organisations including BureauVeritas, DNV.GL, the Russian Maritime Register and others. Ships are primarily built under cover in production halls equipped with cranes rated for up to 50 t. Finished ships are then launched using a shiplift rated for up to 3,000 tonnes. Production facilities are sufficient to support the parallel construction of 9 hulls with maximum dimensions of up to 120 m long and 20 m wide.
    • Design documentation is largely secured externally in cooperation with division technicians. Division technicians also secure the creation of cutting programs for cutting out ship components and components for steel structures.
  2. Heavy steel structures:
    • welded bridge structures for roadway bridges
    • welded load-bearing structures for manufacturing and assembly halls
    • structures for water works
