1. Project Background
A leading shipyard in Singapore is upgrading its module pre-assembly workshop, where crews fit large steel sections before moving them to the dry dock. This area stays busy all day, and the gantry cranes handle oversized modules in every shift. The gantry crane rail system must stay stable and vibration-controlled under constant heavy-duty cycles. The client operates the cranes with frequent starts, stops, and directional changes, so they needed an A100 crane rail setup that keeps alignment steady during long operating hours. They also required a solution that minimizes vibration on the concrete floor and keeps the runway geometry accurate.
2. Client Requirements
The shipyard listed several clear requirements. They needed a durable crane rail system that handles repeated high-load movement during peak production. They also wanted a support structure that keeps vibration away from the concrete base and protects the crane components. The system had to maintain alignment over time, even with continuous movement. In addition, the client preferred low-maintenance parts that work reliably in harsh workshop conditions.
3. Our Solution
Glory Track supplied a complete gantry crane rail system using A100 crane rails in standard 12-meter lengths. Each rail sits on an individual steel soleplate that forms a rigid and uniform support base. We also provided individual crane rail pads to absorb impact and reduce long-term wear on the rails and the concrete foundation. Alongside the materials, our team shared technical recommendations on alignment control, pad placement, and rail stability. These details helped the client keep crane movement smooth across the full runway.
4. On-Site Results
The shipyard shared installation photos that showed the alignment checks and pad placement. Their team followed the recommended layout throughout the process. After the new gantry crane rail system went into service, the crane operators reported smoother travel and noticeably lower vibration on the floor slab. They also saw better stability during module handling. As a result, the workflow became more predictable and more efficient across the workshop.
5. Why It Matters
This project shows how the right gantry crane rail system can improve safety and productivity in shipyard module assembly work. With A100 rails, steel soleplates, and vibration-reducing rail pads, the workshop gained a stable and long-lasting runway. The upgraded setup now supports reliable crane operations and helps the shipyard maintain performance in a demanding industrial environment.
