The challenge

The challenge

Initial situation: Several build sections were running in parallel and had to be delivered in a tightly scheduled shipyard sequence.

Bottleneck: The existing workforce could not carry the extra load alone during the peak weeks.

Quality requirement: Robust execution and clean approvals under shipyard standards were required.

Project risk: Backlogs in section fabrication would have impacted follow-on trades and dock windows.

Our approach

Detailed intake: Before deployment, build sections, weld types, shift demand and priorities per section were aligned.

Targeted qualification match: MAG welders with experience in heavy steel and section fabrication were selected.

Shift and release planning: The team was integrated in line with yard takt, sequence and release logic.

Operational coordination: Production management, work preparation and quality teams were synchronised on a daily basis.
