Products of block assembly
Products of block assembly
stage (before hull erections
stage) are:
Blocks, grand blocks and
section blocks
Blocks
Double bottom
Side structure
Deck and bulkhead below of
it
Fore peak
Bilge
Bulkhead in cargo area
Products of block assembly
Grand block
Ship part composed of the shell
structure, bilge/wing tank
Multilayer part of superstructure
Larger part of ships stern or
bow
Section block
Slice of ship including the whole
cross-section
Requires usually special
transmission equipment
Assembly of block with curved-shapes
Decks and panels from panel production
line or main
Assembly in the production line is alternative
Assembly of curved block parts in jig
Web frames and T-bar from their
production line
Part production next to production line is
alternative
Assembly of block and welding
Installation, welding, protection of outfit
parts
Dimensional accuracy
Measuring tape
Leveling (vaaituskone),
theodolite, total station
(takymetri), calculators
Margin for shrinkage, oversize
Margin for fabrication
Quality Systems, ISO9000,
etc.
