stiffeners used in the ship. In this portion a detailed 3D model is generated a
nd from these the required drawings to be sent to the work sites are generated.
This is an essential process to simplify the production process. Design Work in
CSL The Design department in CSL deals with only Detailed design .The Basic, Pre
liminary design drawings and calculations are obtained from firms such as STX Eu
rope, Rolls Royce, Seds. Then from these production drawings (3D) are generated
by TRIBON. Tribon is a family of programs that create and refer to a common set
of databases containing the design details of the ship. Together, these database
s are used to depict a 3D model of the ship, with embedded information for all o
f the parts of the design, from ship structural elements to pipe segments to equ
ipment. Many common ship design elements, especially equipment, can be downloade
d from databases. The software brings about an increased degree of inter departm
ent cooperation, as each department modifies the same model and we can observe a
ny collisions and route pipes and cables accordingly.

HSD This is the part of the design team that models all the stiffeners, frames,
brackets etc. They provide the structural members that provided strength to the
hull form. The structure is of any ship is always designed for a maximum structu
ral load which is based on the draught which is called a scantling draught. HOD
This is responsible for the equipment, pipe routing and outfitting in the parts
of the ship other than the accommodation and engine room. They majorly have to g
enerate 3 major items to provide to the production yard the schematic, the yard
plan the MLF. The schematics for each system are outsourced from different firms
. The 3D model generated is used to generate the yard plan. These contain the ex
act positioning and length of each type of pipe equipment. These are sent to the
production yard. Along with these a MLF i.e. Material list of fittings is creat
ed. AOD This team in design is responsible for all the outfitting in the accommo
dation section of the ship. The AOD team makes a list of all the requirements of
the accommodation region right from the floors and panels to the bathroom fitti
ngs and piping. They gauge the requirements for the accommodation region and mak
e an indent of these to the materials department. Then there is a call for a bid
. These bids are technically evaluated and then those that are technically certi
fied are selected and the one with the lowest price bid is selected. At times th
e entire accommodation works are outsourced to other companies. MOD It stands fo
r the Machinery Outfit Design. They are responsible for the design of the equipm
ents, pipings, etc, in the engine room and propulsion room. Along with the prelim
inary design, the firms like STX also provide the engine and the type of propuls
ion used. These are provided in the schematics or the key plans. The MOD team mo
dels all the piping and equipment in the engine room and propulsion room. In som
e modern vessels like PSVs which run on electric power, the engine room houses th
e DGs (Diesel Generator). In some cases the basic design firm only specifies the
speculations of the engine, in these cases an indent of all the required Indian

equipments is made and this is forwarded to the materials department, which take
s care of its procurement. EOD The EOD team is responsible for the design of all
the electrical equipment present in the entire ship as well as for all the cabl
ing in the ship. They are responsible for all the electrical systems design, whi
ch constitute almost all the systems in the ship. EOD has to play a coordinated
role with the other design departments. The EOD designs the location and positio
n of the cable trays. The cable trays contain the all the cables attached to it
by a tightening band. The cable trays are designed to minimize the usage of cabl
es. There is a main cable tray which runs from the forward to the aft of the shi
p. This has some trays which branch out and reach all the necessary areas. The c
abling schedule is done manually by the EOD team. The scheduling decides how muc
h length of wire has to be drawn from cylinder and for which connection. This is
done keeping in mind, the aim to have minimum wastage of cable. Functional Desi

Summer Internship Training HULL SHOP

In Cochin Shipyard Limited steel plates are processed and manufactured into pane
ls for building a ship. Also they are called plates, sheets and layers. These pa
nels are prepared in prefabrication chamber by welding elemental sections togeth
er that are being processed in hull shop where in turn steel plates and sections
are processed in hull shop that are being brought from steel stock yards where
all steel plates and sections are being stored. In Steel Stock Yard the steel pl
ates and sections are stored in the form of stacks or piles which further are ta
ken to hull shop and prefabrication chamber for the preparation of ship panels.
Hull Shop In this shop marking, cutting of elements to the various sizes and for
ming them into different shapes as per requirement and marking them unit wise fo
r feeding to the sub assembly and assembly shop is done.. The principle material
used for hull construction is mild steel. For the ship building purpose, the pl
ates and sections are usually made of mild steel containing 0.15 to 0.25 % carbo
n and 0.4 to 0.7 % manganese, phosphorous 0.035 to 0.06 %, sulphur 0.03 to 0.06
% strength of from 26 to 32 tons/Sq.inch with an elongation of 16 to 20 % in 8 i
nches lengths depending upon the thickness of the plate. Generally steel drawing
office will allocate the material as per the schedule. The steel stores will is
sue the material in requisition of Hull Shop. All plates are then mangled, shot
blasted and painted. At This process is being done to prevent corrosion. Markers
will mark the plates and sections with the help of templates and drawings. They
will write complete process on marking, material, type of edge preparation, for
ming, cutting lines, dispatching, destination, etc...Other elements are marked o
n the steel plates using the wooden templates prepared in mould loft and cut in
other gas cutting machines. There are Hydraulic presses with various capacities
and up to maximum 2000Tons forming the plates. Rolling machines, cold frame bend
ing machines, shearing machines, cambering machines, straightening machines, Pla
te preparation plant, section preparation plant etc. are the important machines
in the shop which have the capacity to produce elements up to 2500Tones per mont
h. The elements proceeded in the Hull Processing shop and assembly units inspect
ed for their workmanship of the steel complex, dimensional accuracy by the quali
ty control of the steel complex and presented to the classification society surv
eyor for inspection are lore they dispatched to block storage area or berth for
assembly erection.

Treatment Line Steel plates are first transferred to heat treatment line to de-s
cale the plates from rust, dust and impurities. It is the first step for any pla
te before it used for any process in the hull shop. The de-scaling process also
includes a hydro leveler and spray painting section. In plate treatment line ste
el plates are processed under various machineries to make them fit for productio
n of ship panels. The following are the various machinery sections that are pres
ent in the plate treatment line. The complete step to step procedure is shown al
ongside.

Hydro-Leveler A hydro-leveler is an 80 ton capacity hydraulic powered machine to
level the plates and free them from any curves, bends and distortions so as to
make the plate perfectly flat. Specifications Hydraulic pressure Hydraulic mediu
m Working pressure Test pressure centre beam Working pressure centre beam Test p
ressure Working pressure Test pressure Down/Up Speed Heat Chamber The plates are
then moved into a heating chamber where they are heated so as to remove moistur
e content and other liquid material such as oils from the surface of the plates.
Blasting Chamber Blasting is an important step in the heat treatment line. It r
emoves all the impurities on the surface and makes the surface clean and pure. I
t consists of 8 roto blasts, four on top and four on bottom. Small spherical gri
ts made of mild steel are made to incident on plates with great force and high v
elocity. This will result in the removal of rust and mill scales. The grit is fe
d from overhead tank then into motor (impeller). It has axial entry and radial e
xit. Its equipment is used for the purpose of removal of rust and dust particles
from the plate. Spray Painting Unit The blast is equipped with micro computer w
hich enables paint spray in both directions i.e. top and bottom after cleaning.
This has 8 numbers airless spray film thickness of 25 microns can be achieved. T
he treatment line is also provided with the pre heater before shot blasting and
drying chambers after painting. Painting is done to avoid corrosion of plates. U
sing two nozzles on the top and two on the bottom, spray painting is done. Paint
to the nozzle is supplied by the pump. There are two pumps one will supply pain
t to the top nozzle and the other will supply to : : : : : : : : : 315 Bars and

Gas Cutting Machines
Hydraulic press
Plate and Structural Rolls Machine
EOT Cranes Conclusion Plates coming from the steel complex [assed to hull shop
through automatic system by using sensors in conveyor rollers]. The plates are p
rocessed and they are transferred to the fabrication department for the making o
f panels and frames etc. Generally Hull shop acts as the BACKBONE OF SHIPYARD. Su
b-Assembly & Assembly Fabrication is the primary stage of work. The material tha
t is processed in the bays of the hull shop is transported with help of EOT cran
es to the prefabrication chamber. Initially the elemental sections that are bein
g transported are marked individually, these marked products are segregated acco
rding to the marking and they are kept aside. Now using different EOT cranes the
se parts are supported so that welding can be done upon them so that these panel
s can be together as a complete ship panel.
Working Process The shaped and cut sheets from the hull shop are obtained by thi
s division and subassemblies are done for a desired panel. Further all these sub
-assemblies are combined together and are aligned together according to the pane
l drawings. Quality checks and surveys are done at each stage to ensure good qua
lity and integrity of the sub-assemblies and assemblies. After getting clearance
for full welding (i.e., after fit up survey) the assemblies are welded together
and again are inspected for integrity surfaces. Advanced outfitting is also per
formed after this process. In pre-fabrication department small sections and some
times block will be constructed as per the working drawings (WDS) issued by draw
ing office (through PP & PM). The real construction works starts here only. In p
re-fabrication department the major work is drawing related welding process and
other joining process after construction of small sections in term big panels sh
ifted to erection department sometimes to ships birth will be done. In pre-fabri
cation shifting of

completed blocks can be done with overhead sliding crane in assistance with KMAG t
railers. The term sub assembly means the assembling of different elements of the
panel for main assembly stage, usually to high state of completion. These can b
e described into two groups such as large sub-assemblies and light subassemblies
. Examples
Large sub-assemblies
Double bottom
Deck Fore peak units
After peak un
its Side shell
Bulk heads etc.
Light sub-assemblies
Auxiliary stools Girders
Pil
lars Accommodation bulk heads etc. Advantages of the sub assembly method Allocat
ion of work on over hanging staging. Welds normally over head or horizontal may
be made in the down hand or vertical position giving increased speed of welding
and better quality. Easy access obtained to sub parts as could bottom, fore peak
, cruiser stern etc.Work on the units can be commenced and progress before the s
hip would normally be ready for such work. Welding in sub assembly The processes
which are being followed in CSL, they are as follows
CO2
TIG
Manual arc welding
In the sub-assemblies, plates are generally laid on skids and plate ends are cl
amped or dogged down to skids after setting to the correct position to prevent d
istortion, generally without interfering with shrinkage.

The process of construction and assembling of panels in the building dock or bui
lding berth is called as erection. Usually pre-fabrication is followed by erecti
on. Steps involved in erection process

Summer Internship Training OUTFITTING

They are three types of outfitting methods
UNIT OUTFITTING
ON-BLOCK OUTFITTING
O
N-BOARD OUTFITTING UNIT OUTFITTING Unit outfitting are modules which can be asse
mbled separately in workshop skids and are independent of block construction. Un
it outfitting is carried to reduce the On-board outfitting works. Efficiency of
unit outfitting is almost 5 times as that of on-block outfitting is term of manhours. Necessity to divide outfitting works into smaller Modules Lack of materia
l or too many material supplied at a time shall lead to production delay.
Hence
it is necessary to divide the outfitting work in suitable lots by the stage and
zone into on-unit, on-block, and on-board modules. Consequently, it is required
that the fitting drawings and their material lists (mlfs) are separated in accord
ance with the stage and zone work packages (modules). ON-BLOCK OUTFITTING Outfit
ting carried out during fabrication of hull blocks. ON-BOARD OUTFITTING Outfitti
ng work carried out to complete the outfitting works after erection of hull bloc
k in dock. Material Control during Outfitting The most important thing for outfi
tting work is that the Only Necessary Quantity of the Correct Materials be supplied
to the Required place at the Right Time. Material List of Fittings (MLF) is a list o
f all outfit components required for a particular stage/zone outfitting. The typ
es of MLF as follows UNIT MLF
BLOCK MLF
ON-BOARD MLF Block MLF Block MLF contain
s items which can be fitted in block stage like manholes, hatches, ladders, equi
pment seats, anodes, gratings, cable trays; pipe pieces vent ducts, supports, pe
netration pieces, valves etc.

PALLETISATION Process of grouping Outfitting materials required for a particular
stage/zone outfitting as per the respective MLF is called Palletisation. For a
ship, outfitting is done in different areas.
Engine room outfitting
Deck and hul
l Outfitting Machinery Outfitting
Accommodation Outfitting For various outfittin
g we have different mlfs for example engine room outfitting requires engine room
document etc. The major inputs are from pipe shop and sheet metal shop. Pipe Sho
p In pipe shop various types of pipes are fabricated, welded, painted and galvan
ized according to utility and need. Pipes are cut as per the drawings. In cuttin
g acetylene is used for ferrous materials and plasma for non ferrous materials.
We use CNC cutters mostly. We have pipe bending machines to achieve 2D, 3D, 4D b
end etc. Sheet Metal Shop In sheet metal shop we have shearing machines for cutt
ing plates of different dimensions. Press break machine for sheet bending. Rolli
ng machine to roll the metal plates into pipes. Drilling machine for drilling.

Summer Internship Training TRAINING SUMMARY

Industrial training started on 1st June 2012. Main objective of industrial train
ing was to co-relate theory learned in the institution to the practical work und
ergoing in the shipyard. This training exposed us to an industrial environment,
which we cannot stimulate in our campus. We got the experience of work in the ya
rd premises under the guidelines of professionals and engineers. We tried to ass
ociate ourselves to workers and engineers in the yard to understand their psycho
logy through their work, attitude and approach to problems. We got a good chance
to understand various procedures in shipyard. We got familiarized with various
materials, processes, their applications, products and site problems management
problems and difficulties an engineer has to face while working. We got an oppor
tunity to apply knowledge gathered in classrooms and solving problems faced at t
he site. Training made us understand the scope/ functioning and job responsibili
