Plate Area, Thickness, Steel Tonnes, Procurement Waste, Fabrication Labor, Welding, NDT, Coating, Access & Drydock-Day Exposure

Hull Steel Renewal Weight, Plate, Labor & Drydock Cost Tool

Turn a steel-renewal scope into purchased tonnes, fabrication hours and drydock economic exposure. Simple mode sizes plate weight from area and thickness, adds procurement wastage, fabrication labor, coating/staging and incremental dock days. Advanced mode builds the renewal package member by member with weld length, access complexity, NDT share, coating area, transport, scrap and schedule impact.

Advanced also separates purchase steel, net installed steel, scrap, transport and incremental dock-day exposure.

Fast Steel-Renewal Budget Screen

Simple mode assumes flat plate equivalent area and uses 7.85 t/m³ steel density. Fabrication hours should include crop, fit-up, welding and normal handling if those are not priced elsewhere.

Steel-Renewal Register

Each row can represent a plate, strake, insert group, bracket set or other flat-plate-equivalent renewal item. Grade factor is a user-entered purchase-price multiplier, not a class rule.

Steel-Renewal Readiness

Repair-planning screen only: this tool does not determine whether steel must be renewed, establish allowable diminution, approve crop boundaries, select steel grade, qualify welding procedures or define NDT acceptance. Renewal scope must come from the applicable class rules, surveyor findings and approved repair plan.
