Our shipbuilding technology solutions are engineered to integrate seamlessly into complex marine environments, helping facilities maintain compliance, protect production schedules, and uphold the strict military and environmental standards that govern naval shipbuilding technology programs.

Maritime operations operate under unique pressures:

• Zero tolerance for downtime
• Strict military, safety, and environmental codes
• Complex thermal and moisture control requirements
• Temporary or transitional infrastructure gaps

Aggreko supports shipbuilding engineering teams with turnkey temporary power, heating, cooling, and dehumidification systems that preserve momentum during construction, repair, commissioning, and infrastructure upgrades.

• Maintain critical process temperatures, not just ambient comfort, with engineered cooling and heating solutions essential for welding tolerances, coatings, and dimensional stability in submarine builds and advanced shipbuilding engineering programs.
• Preserve sensitive submarine systems during construction pauses, testing, or commissioning with expertly designed hydrogen lay-ups. Ensure controlled flow and stay on top of critical systems throughout naval shipbuilding operations with active remote monitoring, available 24/7 with your rental.
• Secure ample chiller volume to satisfy multiple temperature zones, high redundancy, and extremely tight control tolerances. Fully engineered distribution ensures performance across complex shipyard technology environments.
• Provide code-compliant pre-heating solutions and stable ambient temperatures for welding across various zones using code-compliant heaters, eliminating the need for ad hoc sources.
• Prevent freezing in new construction buildings and pier-side environments using indirect-fired heating and temporary hot water loops with built-in redundancy.
• Deliver reliable shipyard power for seamless lighting and ventilation, welding, HVAC, and outfitting of auxiliary equipment during new construction or overhaul projects.
• Meet stringent coating specifications with high-capacity desiccant dehumidification for coatings, fabrication halls, and blast-and-paint enclosures.
• Adhere to confined space compliance standards with engineered temporary ventilation systems for welding and coating operations.
• Supply portable compressed air for sandblasting operations at dry dock or pier-side locations.
• Execute load testing with dependable temporary power systems during construction, commissioning, or major overhaul operations. 
   

Aggreko understands that shipbuilding and naval yards operate under strict regulatory, operational, and military standards, and our sector experts do not take those lightly. 

With more than 60 years of experience delivering temporary utilities across complex industrial sectors, we support naval shipbuilding technology programs, submarine construction halls, dry docks, and pier-side facilities with engineered solutions designed for performance and compliance.
