Project Overview
Removal and renewal of deteriorated hull steel in accordance with approved repair boundaries, including fabrication, fitting, welding, inspection and surface preparation.
Operational Challenge
Local steel wastage and corrosion were identified during inspection. The affected section required renewal to restore structural continuity while maintaining safe control of hot work, access and dimensional accuracy.
Technical Assessment
The damaged area was visually examined and repair boundaries were agreed based on available thickness measurements and structural condition. Adjacent framing, internal access and potential interference with piping or outfitting were reviewed before cutting commenced.
Detailed Scope of Work
- Marking and confirmation of repair boundaries
- Removal of coatings around the work area
- Controlled cutting and removal of wasted steel
- Inspection and preparation of supporting structure
- Template preparation and fabrication of replacement plate
- Edge preparation, fit-up and alignment
- Tack welding and dimensional verification
- Full welding to approved sequence
- Visual inspection and applicable NDT
- Grinding, cleaning and preparation for coating
Execution Methodology
The defective steel was removed in manageable sections to control distortion. Replacement material was cut and formed to match the existing hull profile. Fit-up gaps and alignment were checked before welding. Welding was performed using a balanced sequence to reduce heat distortion, followed by cleaning and inspection of completed joints.
HSE Controls
Hot-work permits, fire watch, gas checks, ventilation and protection of adjacent spaces were maintained. Cutting and lifting activities were coordinated to prevent uncontrolled movement of removed plate sections.
Quality Assurance and Inspection
Material identification, fit-up condition, weld appearance and inspection results were recorded. Where specified by the repair plan, non-destructive testing was completed before final surface preparation.
Project Outcome
The deteriorated hull area was renewed and structural continuity restored. The repair area was left ready for the specified coating system after inspection and acceptance.
