Location:
California
AME completed a structural inspection of the floors, walls, and seat of a large commercial shipbuilding basin at a shipyard facility in California. The purpose of the inspection was to document the existing conditions of the graving dock in support of AME’s design of the modified seat and also to identify deterioration to the dock’s floors, walls, and seat to support the client’s coordination with the ship owner to recertify the dock. Following the structural inspection and evaluation of the graving dock, AME was tasked with completing the design of replacement and modernization of the caisson gate and seat of the graving dock and providing onsite construction support. AME also worked with the owner to get the new graving dock recertified. The design and construction phases of this project were successfully completed meeting very stringent time restrictions due to shipbuilding operations and schedules.
