Kelly Klosure Units

Used By General Ship In

Navy Renovation Work

General Ship Corporation of Bos- ton, Mass., which specializes in shipbuilding, diesel and steam en- gines, conversions, overhauls, renov- ations, and repairs in both the pri- vate and commercial shipping in- dustries, was contracted by the U.S.

Government to perform modifica- tions that would update and enlarge the capabilities of both the U.S.

Steven W. Gross and the USS

Tripp.

In performing the necessary re- pairs, System 2 panels from Kelly

Klosure Systems of Fremont, Neb., were used for on-board and on-dock protection of employees and instru- ments.

Kelly is one of the leading manu- facturers of weather protection sys- tems and semi-permanent relocata- ble buildings. Kelly's modular pan- els are available in a variety of fin- ishes from fiberglass to galvanized steel and are used primarily for weather protection of both people and equipment.

In order to enlarge the U.S. Stev- en W. Gross, decks had to be re- moved to allow access to the struc- tural steel of the ship's frame. Kel- ly's System 2 panels were used for deck replacements during this pro- cedure to create a self-framing building that could be reconfigured on the same site quickly and easily.

When General Ship finished one section, the System 2 structure was reconfigured and moved to the next.

Another System 2 semiperma- nent relocatable building was used to protect the sonar equipment of the USS Tripp. While renovations were being performed on-board, the sonar equipment was removed and placed on the pier and protected by the System 2, which features a side- lapping edge that ensures a water- tight, weatherproof seal.

According to the manufacturer, shipyards throughout the U.S. have found Kelly's weather protection panels to be invaluable aids, and

Naval and commercial shipyards on both coasts use and reuse Kelly units as dockside storage, fabrica- tion, training and lunchroom facili- ties, etc.
