The testing facility is designed for comprehensive testing of individual modules and completed vessels, as well as for the training and professional development of specialists in modular shipbuilding. The facility provides quality control at every stage, from individual blocks to the fully assembled vessel.
Specific Features of Modular Construction
Modular shipbuilding requires the phased inspection of every block and the verification of their integration. The testing facility makes it possible to:
test individual modules and integrated structures
identify defects at the early stages of assembly
verify the quality of inter-module connections
reduce risks during final vessel assembly
The facility also serves as a practical training base, enabling specialists to be trained directly under real production conditions.
Main Types of Testing
The Chaika Modular Shipbuilding Center includes a training centre that provides specialist training using the infrastructure of the testing facility.
Inclining Tests
determination of the centre of gravity with consideration for the modular arrangement
analysis of mass distribution between modules
stability calculations
verification of compliance with the approved design
Watertightness Testing
verification of the watertight integrity of module joints
inspection of welded and assembly connections
testing of compartments, tanks, and pipelines
System and Equipment Testing
verification of systems installed within the modules
testing of inter-module connections
verification of integrated equipment operation
Maximum Factory Completion — Saving You Time
The modules arrive at the building berth with the following components already installed:
all pipelines and engineering systems
pre-installed cable routes
fully installed ventilation systems
key equipment and machinery
This reduces final assembly time by 70% and minimises the amount of additional work required.
Our approach — engineering for real-world challenges
We develop solutions for the construction, modernisation, and restoration of hydraulic engineering facilities. For us, innovation is the foundation of industry development.
