The Industrial Department is the heart of the YARD, managing a spectrum of activities covering shipbuilding, ship repair, overhaul, renovation and modernization. The shipyard's expertise includes shafting, DC propulsion systems, hull repairs, sheetmetal fabrication and Navy-certified ordnance repairs and overhauls. Other YARD capabilities include completion of all shipboard piping, custom machining and manufacturing with specialties in diesel engine and reduction gear overhauls, and in shaft alignment, electrical and electronics installation including radar, communications and navigational equipment. The YARD has complete blast and paint facilities. It has the capability of cutting ferrous and nonferrous metals up to 6 inches thick.
All welders are ABS and AWS qualified.
At the YARD, virtually any marine application can be designed, manufactured and installed on or off-site. Despite the convenience of doing work here, some jobs are better done at the customer's location. Nearly all shops prefabricate or manufacture items for shipment for remote installation. All of this is followed up by customer service and quality assurance second to none. Safety and environmental protection regulations are top priorities.
