It is by no means an easy task to achieve this goal. The construction of neat hull blocks requires rigorous dimensional control at each of the production phases. Hull erection is the most critical assembly phase. The huge 3D block structures assembled during this phase should be accurate enough to be positioned and aligned efficiently.
This application report describes how the DCA-TC system is used to measure and to analyse the 3D block structures assembled during hull erection. An example of such a structure is the double bottom of an “ecobox” type of carrier.
