Shipyards

There are a number of different technologies available for transferring vessels on-shore. Generally, the rail applications can be identified, starting with the process of lifting the vessel out of the water, by means of either a Shiplift or a Slipway. When the vessels are transferred to the land the carriages are moved using either a single or dual level system.

Those different applications within the shipyard require different rail solutions.

MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS

Marine design covers the Civil design of the various areas, which includes individual load conditions and may involve civil expansion joints to accommodate thermal expansion. Rail systems vary significantly according to the loads and the environment.
