October 9-10, 2019
Bath, ME
Approved for Distribution A

2. Panel Projects – Completed
Horizontal Access Lifting System (CTC, BIW, EB)
Equalizing Load Lifting Bar (NASSCO)

3. Panel Projects – In Work
Quick-deploy Scaffolding (ElectraWatch)
Applications of Targetless Photogrammetry (Newport News)
Shipboard Pipe Insulation Tape (BIW)

4. Quick-Deploy Scaffold for Improved Safety and Lower Cost
Delivered to the job-site pre-assembled but in a stowed configuration and which can be rapidly deployed by a pier crane.
Reduced labor cost and reduced assembly/disassembly time.
Common benefit across new construction and ship repair.

5. Applications of Targetless Photogrammetry for Facilities and Close Range Metrology
Technician can operate from stationary location, rather than walking/climbing around structure.
Provides higher clarity to the environment and structures surrounding measured points.
Reduces time and cost per survey (no placement of physical targets, codes, scale bars, etc.).

6. Shipboard Pipe Insulation Tape
Identify potential tape solutions that would have a high likelihood of being qualified for securing pipe insulation.
The use of tape (vs. wire) for securing pipe insulation is projected to reduce shipboard installation cost by 10-15%.
Develop proposed spec changes.

7. Panel Projects – Proposed
