Shape fabrication line. Panel line

SHIP AND BARGE FABRICATION SYSTEMS

TTS concepts and production systems are being employed worldwide to significantly reduce overall costs in the marine construction industries.

Our panel and section assembly line concepts have the flexibility to build any kind of ship, and are suited for shipyards of all sizes. Depending upon scantlings, two to ten manhours per ton are realistic production figures.

TTS emphasis is placed on improved material hand- ling, flexible fixturing, and improved working con- ditions as opposed to cumbersome and costly equip- ment.

Our shape fabrication concepts have proven them- selves as a cost effective adjunct to traditional ship fabrication processes.

All our systems are engineered to be compatible with each builder's requirements and capabilities and are designed to be installed on existing shop floors. These systems are both practical and econo- mical. Increases in productivity are real and immed- iate.

TTS know-how and experience can assist you in pre- paring for the 80's and beyond; we have done so for others the world over, again and again.
