The new dock is one of the largest in the world, its dimensions (480 by 114 meters, depth - 14 meters) allow you to build vessels of any size and complexity.
The dry dock was put into operation three years earlier than the originally designated date, the press service of the Zvezda Shipbuilding Complex told. Together with representatives of Rostechnadzor and Gosexpertiza, the specialists of the SSC "Arrival" checked the dry dock and equipment of the facility for the readiness of all mechanisms for operation.
Earlier, in order to control the filtration of the hydraulic structure, work was carried out on filling the dry dock with water in the normal mode. The floating shutter of the batoport is wound up and installed on the workplace. It separates the dock chamber from the water area, the bottom of which is located below the water level. A technological gate has been delivered to the dock, which will allow dividing the dock area into separate independent compartments for the construction of several vessels at once. 4 tower cranes with a lifting capacity of 60 tons and a gantry crane "Goliath" with a lifting capacity of 1200 tons are installed.
