Current Project - CVF
Client:- BAE Systems, Babcock
The Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers are a two ship class of Aircraft Carrier being built for the Royal Navy. HMS Queen Elizabeth is expected to enter service in late 2015, with the second of class in 2018.
The vessels will displace approximately 65,600 tonnes each, over three times the displacement of the current Invincible class. They will be the largest warships ever built in the UK and the most capable aircraft carriers outside of the U.S. Navy.
The design features two small island structures, one devoted to ship navigation, and the other to air operations. This allows optimal placement for both
tasks: navigation calls for a bridge placed forward, while air operations are made easier with a bridge placed abaft. Two deck lifts will be used, both on the starboard side.
Since January 2009, MBOTT Design has supplied its services to both BAE Systems and Babcocks.
Project - Bio-diesel Plant
Client - V-Fuels
In 2008, MBOTT Design supplied its services to V-Fuels Ltd, Cambois, Blyth, Northumberland. The projects detail was to convert an existing Pharmaceutical Plant into a Bio-Diesel production plant.
The work involved included a full site survey, the utilisation of existing pipework and the design of new pipework, to ensure the functionality of the proposed plant was met.
Project - Astute
Client - BAE Systems
The Royal Navy's Astute Class submarine is a nuclear-powered attack submarine which is to replace the five Swiftsure Class submarines.
BAE Systems is prime contractor for the project and the submarines are being built at BAE Systems Marine Barrow shipyard. The Astute ships are to be named Astute, Ambush and Artful.
It is planned that the three submarines will enter service in 2009, 2010 and 2011. The keel for the first-of-class Astute was laid in January 2001 and it was launched on 8 June 2007.
Project - Type 45 Destroyers
Client - BAE Systems
The Type 45 destroyers (Daring class) is an air defence destroyer programme of the Royal Navy which will replace its Type 42 destroyers. The first ship in the class, HMS Daring, was launched on 1 February 2006 and commissioned on 23 July 2009.The ships are built by BAE Systems Surface Ships.
The first three ships were assembled by BAE Systems Surface Fleet Solutions from partially prefabricated "blocks" built by BAE Systems itself and VT Group.
The Type 45 destroyers are 152.4 m in length, with a beam of 21.2 m and a draught of 7.4 m. This makes
them significantly larger than the Type 42 they replace, displacing about
7350 tonnes compared to 5200 tonnes of the Type 42. The Type 45 destroyers are the first British warships built to meet the hull requirements of Lloyd's Register's Naval Rules.
Project - LPD
Client - BAE Systems
The two ships are named HMS Albion (L14) and HMS Bulwark (L15) and were built at BAE Systems Marine dockyard at Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria. HMS Albion was launched in March 2001, commissioned in June 2003 and declared fully operational in April 2004. HMS Bulwark was launched in November 2001 and entered service in December 2004.
Each landing platform dock can operate eight landing craft, four of which can transport and land main battle tanks. The docking system is located at the stern of the ship.
The standard displacement (fully manned and stored) is 13,000t.
Project - Slab Caster
Client - Siemens VAI
The Chinese market for Steel Production Plants is an ever expanding market. MBOTT Design has been involved in the design of Continuous Casting plants for this market.
Full integration of pipework and equipment, relevent to specific standards set out by the client was undertook on a 3D Cad system
Project - Haewine Brim
Client - McNulty Offshore
The FPSO, Haewine Brim which is operated by Bluewater, undertook an upgrade at McNulty Offshore, Tyneside. 1000te topsides were added, plus an upgrade of its filtration, Water Injection and Chemical Injection packages.
The whole project was complete in 30 days.
Project - Pulau Serya Power Station
Client - McNulty Offshore
PowerSeraya’s plant on Jurong Island built in 1986, was Singapore’s first offshore power station with nine units of 250 MW oil-fired steam generating units and two units of 20 MW gas turbines; an installed capacity of 2290 MW. To further strengthen the position as a top energy supplier, two units of 370 MW Combined Cycle Gas Turbines were added boosting the installed capacity to 3240 MW.
