Shipbuilding & repair services & solutions
Turnkey solutions that meet strict sector and government regulations, with specialized expertise, and without the CAPEX
Engineered shipyard power, temperature control, & dehumidification solutions
Aggreko delivers engineered temporary utility solutions purpose-built for shipbuilding and repair facilities, naval shipyards, and submarine programs across the U.S.
From shipyard power and temporary chilled water to process heating and desiccant dehumidification, our systems are designed to support critical maritime operations where downtime is not an option. We partner with naval contractors, defense programs, and private shipbuilders to provide resilient infrastructure that performs like permanent plant equipment without the capital expense.
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.
Dedicated shipyard application support & expertise
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
Aggreko provides engineered temporary power solutions designed for marine and naval environments, including redundant generator systems, load matching, and integration with heating, cooling, and chilled water equipment to ensure uninterrupted operations.
Dehumidification is critical in shipyards because coating systems require strict control of humidity and dew point to prevent corrosion, coating failure, and rework. Without proper environmental control, moisture can condense on steel surfaces, leading to poor adhesion and premature coating breakdown.
Aggreko supplies desiccant dehumidification systems that maintain dew point below steel temperature, helping shipbuilding and repair facilities meet coating specifications and quality requirements in fabrication halls, dry docks, and blast-and-paint enclosures.
Temporary chillers are used in shipbuilding and naval facilities to provide reliable chilled water for process cooling, climate control, and equipment protection during construction, repair, or infrastructure outages. They are especially important in submarine programs, where tight temperature tolerances and system redundancy are required.
Aggreko delivers complete temporary chilled water systems engineered to operate as a full utility plant that can scale with project demands and maintain continuous operation.
