Hull renewals, heavy marine fabrication, mechanical intervention and purpose-arranged access-coordinated around the real work front in Cape Town and Saldanha.
Marine work often requires access, removal, workshop intervention, fabrication and controlled reinstatement to move as one practical scope.
Naude Industries supports vessel owners, operators and contractors with responsive project teams backed by workshop capability. The examples below show completed work as well as honest condition-assessment projects where the final scope remained with the client.
Project evidence selected to show the condition found, practical intervention and completed result where available.
Vessel-side scaffolding supplied and erected to provide practical access for hull plating work. Defective sections were cropped, prepared and renewed with welded inserts, followed by cleaning and non-destructive examination of the completed weld areas.
The initial scope called for preparation and reinstatement of the existing 35 mm plate. After edge chamfering and mobilisation, the onsite trial fit confirmed that severe distortion prevented correct alignment. Following the client’s instruction, a complete replacement plate was fabricated with the required profile and attachment details.
Worn and damaged tyres were removed from multiple marine fender units. Replacement tyres were prepared, installed and secured using the fenders’ chain arrangements to restore the assemblies for continued service.
A twin-drum hydraulic anchor windlass was received for workshop dismantling and assessment. Port and starboard components were identified, seized parts were removed using hydraulic equipment, and inspection exposed extensive corrosion, failed brake linings and wear requiring further repair decisions.
This project is presented as dismantling and condition assessment only; no completed overhaul or operational test is claimed.
The exact path depends on the vessel, access, survey requirements and agreed client scope.
Review the condition, access, drawings, measurements and operational constraints.
Arrange scaffolding, lifting, isolation and the practical work front.
Crop, dismantle, identify and transfer components for workshop work where required.
Fabricate, machine, weld, assemble and prepare the item for service.
Complete agreed inspections, testing, installation and handover evidence.
Class attendance, third-party NDT, testing requirements, specialist rigging, removals in way and final acceptance criteria are confirmed for each project.
