Detailed engineering is the backbone of UBM Marine, where proven experience, engineering know-how, and industry best practices are translated into production-ready design packages. Our engineering is executed in full alignment with U.S. shipyard standards and workflows, enabling shipyards to build faster, more accurately, and with greater schedule certainty.
During the detailed design phase, we deliver fully integrated 3D production models that provide shipyards and owners with real-time visibility into design progress. These models directly support shop-floor execution by automatically generating production data, while all 2D and 3D assembly drawings are continuously updated to reflect the latest model revisions—eliminating inconsistencies and minimizing rework.
Advanced clash detection and constructability checks are embedded in our 3D modeling process to ensure installation-ready, error-free drawings. Resolving interferences at the design stage—rather than after steel, piping, or equipment has reached the yard—significantly reduces change orders, field modifications, and schedule delays.
As digital shipbuilding continues to evolve, we anticipate that classification societies will increasingly accept 3D models as approval deliverables. In response, UBM Marine continuously upgrades its digital engineering tools and workflows to remain fully aligned with next-generation class approval and U.S. shipyard execution requirements
Scope of Detail Design
- Detailed review of class-approved drawings to translate regulatory requirements into yard-ready, production documentation.
- Evaluation of owner-driven and operational requirements, ensuring smooth incorporation without impacting build schedule or fabrication flow.
- Assessment of U.S. shipyard construction practices, including block construction, steel and pipe shop workflows, and erection sequences, to ensure maximum constructability.
- Preparation of fabrication and installation drawings, including specifications, system schematics, outfit plans, and shop-ready assembly drawings to support yard execution.
- Development of optimized erection, outfitting, and installation sequences, reducing hot work, rehandling, and rework during construction.
Generation of nesting plans and CNC cutting files to support efficient steel fabrication and material utilization.
