High-tech hull blocks made possible by Leica Industrial Theodolites

Measure & analyse ship blocks with Theodolites
 
Modern shipbuilders have widely adopted the concept of modular construction and are realising the benefits associated with these methods. Further improvements in productivity can be achieved if these modules are accurately built, avoiding the traditional excess material normally trimmed during the erection process.
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.
