Incat Company Profile
Assembly
Stage 1 - Continued refinement of the pre-fabrication and module
construction process has seen the stage 1 positions of both the
main assembly halls transform into pre-fabrication areas for large
components such as fuel tanks, engine rooms, jet rooms and
superstructure modules.
-
Stage 2 Modules completed at the various pre-fabrication
locations at Incat are then transported and positioned in stage 2 of
the construction hall applicable to that series of vessel.
Construction begins in the centre of the vessel allowing rapid growth,
in a controlled manner. As the fabrication & welding teams progress
throughout the vessel, our quality assurance/control departments
and survey authorities check and approve the completed structure.
On completion of this process the fitters, fitout electrical and
electronic teams move in and install services and equipment.
The vessel continues to grow in this position until it is approx 70%
of its completed light ship weight, at which time the vessel is rolled
back to the next stage of the production sequence. With stage 2
cleared modules for the next new build are able to fill this spot.
Stage 3 - With the vessel in its final stage before launch the forward
end of the vessel is completed and the unique Incat catamaran
shape becomes recognisable.
At this stage main machinery such as engines, jets, thrusters,
T foils are installed. Once the equipment is carefully positioned and
secured the vessels' structure is closed off for the final time and
painting and livery requirements are addressed.
Fitout
The majority of the fitout work is completed by the yard's highly
skilled tradespersons in the stage 3 position. Fitters, plumbers,
electricians, electronics, fitout, hydraulics, pneumatics, painters and
structural fire protection personnel all set about completing the
various components and systems on board the vessel.
Launch
With engines installed the vessel is ready for launching, once clear
of the shed the radars and aerials are fitted and final commissioning
of systems takes place. Builder's trials and sea trials for the
customer are completed and the vessel is ready for handover and
delivery to her new home.
