Having successfully completed this scope previously Bowhill Engineering were ideally suited to help WGA deliver this important scope successfully for the upcoming HMAS Coonawarra docking. This time around however it was a completely new package of steelwork to be delivered rather than modifications. We supplied a new full set of support cradles, bogies and linking beams to allow the docking of the HMAS Coonawarra in Darwin.

Project Details

Project Description: To ensure accuracy across the whole assembled ship lifter and to control the risk of a combined error in length, we fabricated but only welded one end of each link beam, and only welded the second end once a trial erection was completed and accuracy confirmed.
