Construction of a dry dock is nearing completion at SSK Zvezda

In Primorye, at the Zvezda shipyard in Bolshoy Kamen, the construction of one of the largest dry docks in the world is nearing completion. According to the press service of SSK "Zvezda", the dock will be commissioned four years earlier than the originally announced terms.

The construction of the dry dock is nearing completion, commissioning is currently underway at the facility, and the dock itself and facility equipment are being checked for readiness of machines and mechanisms for operation. Previously, the dock was filled with water to check and control the filtration, and a 114 meter long and 12 meter high bathoport floating gate was installed and installed on the workplace, separating the dock chamber from the water area. A technological gate was installed, which allows dividing the dock area into separate independent compartments for the construction of several ships at once, if necessary.

4 tower cranes with a lifting capacity of 60 tons and a gantry crane "Goliath" with a lifting capacity of 1200 tons were installed.

The dry dock itself is one of the largest of its kind in the world. Its dimensions are 485 meters long, 114 meters wide, and its depth is 14 meters. The dimensions of the dock make it possible to build ships and ships without limiting the tonnage and launching weight of the hulls.

This dry dock is a key element of the second phase of the Zvezda shipyard construction.

4 years EARLIER!
One of the largest dry docks in the world!

[Orange bigg]

Zvezda will be able to become a complete replacement for the Black Sea shipyard in the city of Nikolaev during the USSR?

[Eldorado]

The destroyer definitely can. Avik, too, I think, will be able to master it when it reaches 100% power.
On September 28, the laying of the largest and most powerful icebreaker in the world "Russia" of the "Leader" project will take place at "Zvezda".

I think that neither destroyers nor aircraft carriers will be laid here. Icebreakers, gas carriers, bulk carriers and tankers, yes. Therefore, I believe that one or two more similar docks will be built, specifically for the construction of warships of large displacement.

[Eldorado]

On the "Zvezda", in fact, they are already building a covered floating dock of project 23380 for the SSBN of project 955 Borey. It will go to the Pacific people in Vilyuchinsk.

And is that bad? There the Chinese are building, here are ours. The main word is BUILD! They do not drag them apart by cogs like in the 90s, they do not freeze construction, but give work, develop the industry and are not going to stop.
I’m looking at this and come to one idea - we build shipyards for civil shipbuilding no less than for military needs. Civilian shipbuilding is not abandoned. And these are jobs, and money in the country and not small, plus technology.
For example, speaking not about large ships, but not at all outstanding hydrofoils ... Valdai, Meteora, Comets ...

And what about cruise ships? Who has heard of this? However, this event is not inferior in importance to the adoption of the frigate Gorshkov.

[donavi49]

PV300 (Karim) and brother PV300VD (Peter the Great - who still needs Chinese import substitution and got involved in 10-12 months of construction) are clearly superfluous here. This is a very problematic steamer, very expensive. He now has an actual refusal of project support (the Odessa IIB - they have tightened the screws on this project too). With this there will be problems in operation and, in general, all operation is very conditional.

Although it seems to be running around with passengers.

And Petr is still waiting for the package from Alieksrpess, and this is also a problem, because the IIB does not provide project support. And it is not clear how to arrange it.

What a horror, what are you talking about ... Now the local liberals will peck you, in their opinion, Putin plundered Russia, destroyed everything, and so on, we do not build or produce anything !!! Shhh, take it easy friend

[Rubi0]

All people want here and now and not many want to get rich together with the state by building such mega-projects, factories and ports for 5-10 years, and here Putin is definitely to blame for making them wait for the drain

[Vladimir Mashkov]

Great news! No, in the world, of course, there are many large dry docks (especially in Southeast Asia), there are docks and maybe more. But in Russia there has not yet been such a large dock. And the fact that it is being built at such a rapid pace and ahead of schedule is great!

The project is being implemented by a consortium of Rosneftegaz, Rosneft and Gazprombank. Pay money, you can build a destroyer and a cruiser, you can also build tankers and dry cargo ships. But it will not work with gas carriers.

[koramax81]

Another dock of the same kind is good. Both for working months and for building ships

[voyaka uh]

Zvezda - for LNG carriers, tankers. Not for warships.

Quite possible. But to transfer the built ships from the Pacific Fleet to the Black Sea Fleet across all enemy straits is problematic. So the Crimean Shipyard "Zaliv" is needed like air. And only he can replace Nikolaev with the Black Sea Fleet

[Dart2027]

Quote: Piramidon

But to transfer the built ships from the Pacific Fleet to the Black Sea Fleet

I doubt that this will be necessary. With the return of Crimea, Russia received an ideal site for the deployment of coastal missile systems there, so ships of the 1st rank are not particularly needed there.

You, apparently, did not get into our dialogue with OrangeBigg (Alexander) and stuck into our correspondence. He said that Zvezda could replace the Zaliv with the Black Sea Fleet. Be more attentive. Read ALL of the previous correspondence before diving in with your objections.

And the Mediterranean squadron with the ships of which fleet should we form? To drive from the Northern Fleet and the Baltic?
And building ships on the Black Sea is much more convenient in terms of climatic conditions and logistics.
"Zaliv" is capable of building large surface ships, and not only UDC, but also destroyers, cruisers, frigates and even aircraft carriers - production areas, slipways and a huge dock allow this.

And even with ease, unlike Nikolaev, nuclear ships were built on the Gulf, but not in Nikolaev, and there is a dry dock there, not to mention the climate. Helicopter carriers, I think this is a step for replenishing competence, the USSR also started this way

[IC]

At the Black Sea plant they built on the slipway. The plant prepared and built the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk.
The dry dock for the construction of ships with a deadweight of more than 100 thousand tons remained at the Okean plant in Nikolaev, where 110 thousand tons of OBO type B. Butoma were serially built

I am not a builder, but ... this "4 years ahead of schedule" confuses me a little: the construction of such a large structure is a complicated and troublesome thing, it consists of a lot of operations. Each operation requires ITS PROCESS TIME.
If it was built ahead of time, then somewhere the corresponding technological time was reduced ???
4 years is a lot !!! Lots of!!! Will this not affect the quality of the finished product?

Where can the danger lie?
1. Laying the base of the dock (the so-called sole) should be strictly according to the schedule with all the consequences.
2. Concreting of the base - only by exposure time, and by continuous casting! A candy bar must be!
3. Embedded parts ... Yes, it is also important, all the hardware will fit on them.
High quality welding, ultrasonic tested. Otherwise, it may turn out like with a bridle of Kiev ...

But - **** In 2016-2017, the first stage of capacities was launched at the shipyard. These are more than 80 cranes of various lifting capacities ... mostly made in China. For example, the state corporation of the Celestial Empire China Heavy Industry Corporation Nantong delivered 2017 cranes to Zvezda in March 5, including the Goliath with a lifting capacity of 1,2 thousand tons. The one that adorns all the photos from the factory.

The pride of the shipyard and of the entire domestic shipbuilding - the largest dry dock in the CIS, 485 meters long and 114 meters wide, is being built by the China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) ***
So draw conclusions ...

The average Chinese builder, by a strange coincidence, for some reason earns 120 krubles (formworker) against 45 krubles of our workers.
go collect brushwood, you are allowed.

[carstorm 11]

don't talk nonsense that's the truth. I live in the Far East and the Chinese know this life. probably because they earn so much at home until the age of 14, they drove here in droves to work. because they earn less here. there has always been an oversaturation of the labor market. rural residents migrate in huge numbers to large cities. also probably run away from big salaries. a good carpenter-concrete worker who works with formwork gets very well with us. at least I know exactly what he gets from fifty dollars. which is quite normal.

[pl675]

listen, it’s purple for me where and how you live, there are dry figures, they are facts - a Chinese worker at this construction site earns almost twice as much as a Russian. all.
and in order not to get up twice, open the "stars" job site, you will probably be surprised that Sechin is looking for 60 thousand engineers there.
no need to shaggy grandma.

[carstorm 11]

on this one maybe. I should have said a little more concretely about it right away. but they proceed from their grids and tariffs. which shouldn't be compared with ours at all. all the same, watch work and even in another country a priori is better paid. build our something in China, too, would receive more.

[pl675]

what to "say right away about it?"
what kind of kindergarten? there is a discussion about the dry dock that the Chinese are building, what is wrong?
comrade, our people in China are not building anything, there is no one to build. drink some water already, well, or collect algae, they say you can.

[carstorm 11]

tell me. not for you. in China they do not build? you're right. there is a lot of work, but mostly it is not connected with construction. there are thousands of our specialists in other fields. I will decide what to do myself. stop sticking out your rudeness.

What does the salary have to do with it. The main organization of labor and production discipline. But how money is spent on large construction sites, the deadlines are met, everything is known. Remember the new spaceport.

I don't understand why are you unhappy? Countries around the world are cooperating, Russia is building nuclear power plants, China is building the world's best cranes. And that's okay.

And as soon as Russia cooperates for its development, it is "grief for industrialists". I have never heard anything dumber .. You are either a fool or a manipulator.

In the Far East there has long been such a dock at the shipyard in the Danube settlement. There is also a dry dock on the Gulf on the Black Sea in Novorossiysk, where the cruiser docked 30 years ago. True, their condition is not satisfactory, just like the PD 50. But towing such a ship is a very difficult and expensive operation.
