This workshop is equipped with a 500-ton careening grid, which consists of five steel wagons and four lines of rails. Each wagon is 6 m in length and 7 m in width; the slip way is 14 m in net width. Any vessel under 35 m (inclusive) LOA, 8 m (inclusive) in width, and 3.5 m of stern draft can be mounted on the grid for repair.
The peripheral facility of the careening grid includes an AC 440V- 80HP winch. On both sides of the rear of the grid, an AC 220V - 5-ton winch is disposed. Also, there are two stationary 2-stage water-cooled, 100 HP electric compressors, each with a nozzle pressure at 10Kg/cm2, and the fresh water system.
This sector is presently servicing the work ships, careening grid and machinery and equipment of the Bureau. We will also carry out maintenance and repair of outsider vessels upon commissioning, if time is available. |
