Grandweld services customers needing to do drydocking or afloat repairs and also provides workshop repair services for equipment removed from ships and sent to our shipyard.
Grandweld repairs a wide variety of ships via DMC’s UAE-based drydock. This drydocking facility offers extraordinary flexibility due to the combination of synchro-lifts and a rail with drydocking cradle system that can transport ships on the drydock to up to 30 different dry berth locations. Our workshops are based adjacent to the dry berth allowing highly efficient repairs to be completed.
Grandweld’s riding teams will mobilize from our Dubai shipyard to your vessel in other ports in the UAE. We understand that speed, planning and flexibility are key to afloat repairs. We routinely work in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Jebel Ali, Sharjah, Hamriyah and Ras Al Khaimah so contact us for your next afloat repair.
Our extensive in-house expertise includes repair of machinery & marine engine overhauls, electrical troubleshooting, electrical rewinding, steel fabrication, corrosion repairs and coatings, interior fit-out & carpentry, propeller repairs, various machining services, alignment work, and many others. Many customers rely on us because our focus on in-house services ensures that we are accountable for our performance and delivery.
Grandweld has spent years developing our engineering and planning departments to reach a world-class standard in pre-planning and preparation. This is particularly important for ship conversion projects or vessel upgrades where our Dubai shipyard is able to ensure fast and high-quality work is completed on time and according to budget requirements.
Grandweld’s shipyard in the UAE has completed many deck upgrades for our customers including installations of new helidecks, accommodation modules and other deck equipment. These upgrades require a shipyard with the resources, engineering team and experience to manage these complex projects. Our UAE-based shipyard also has the advantage of being located in Dubai, which is an international logistics hub, making deliveries of components and materials to our Dubai drydock smooth and fast.
Our shipyard is extremely experienced in upgrading propulsion systems for ships. The offshore industry is known for operating high-specification OSVs, and with oil majors requiring increasingly complex ships it is often necessary to upgrade the existing fleets to meet current standards. Our shipyard in the UAE has done many DP2 and DP3 upgrades, installing thrusters and more advanced propulsion engines.
Hull upgrades completed by Grandweld include hull extensions, bow & stern remodeling, and appendage installations. DMC’s synchro-lift system with its rail transport is very efficient at lifting a variety of vessels and maneuvering them into suitable positions to complete these complex projects. Plus the location of our fabrication halls in our Dubai shipyard ensures that hull blocks can be pre-fabricated and shifted to the site quickly and easily.
Whether it is for Ballast Water Treatment Systems, hybrid propulsion or more efficient hull forms and ship design, we have the experience to help you. Grandweld is well known for our engineering design capability which differentiates us from our competitors. Our Dubai-based shipyard’s in-house team can work with you to prepare the Greentech installation’s design in advance and prefabricate different components prior to the vessel arriving, ensuring fast and efficient installation.
