Clemco Blast Rooms For Ship Sections
Ship blocks and hull sections require abrasive preparation on large fabricated structures with stiffeners, edges, welds and complex access needs. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services blast rooms, media reclaim systems, large paint booths, exhaust ductwork, make-up air equipment, lighting and utility connections for marine fabrication finishing areas.

Marine Section Clearance Planning
Ship blocks can include deep profiles, protruding stiffeners and awkward lifting points. A Clemco style blast room should be reviewed around the actual section envelope, handling method, work platforms, door openings and clearance needed to inspect edges and welds.
Recovery Paths Under Large Structures
Abrasive recovery needs to work even when a hull section covers much of the floor. Reclaim zones, grating, pits, collection points and separator access should be placed so media can return without creating hard-to-clean dead spots.
Ventilation For Deep Profiles
Tall and complex marine sections can interrupt airflow. Exhaust placement, dust collector routing, make-up air direction and booth pressure should be evaluated with the workpiece position in mind, not just the empty room.
Site Inputs For Mechanical Scope
Before installation, repair or relocation planning, gather section dimensions, handling routes, roof and wall penetration options, utility locations, floor information, equipment drawings and photos of current blast and coating operations.
Frequently asked questions
What dimensions matter for ship section prep?
Overall height, width, length, lifting points, support stands, platform needs and protruding stiffeners all affect room layout.
Why is airflow difficult around hull sections?
Deep profiles and internal corners can shield areas from clean air movement and allow dust to settle where operators need visibility.
How is reclaim access planned?
Reclaim access is planned around grating, pits, screws or pneumatic recovery, separator location and service aisles that remain reachable with large sections in place.
What should be ready for a relocation review?
Current drawings, photos, utility routes, duct paths, equipment dimensions, rigging routes and the destination layout are useful starting points.
