Refashioning ship design methodologies to rake in the moolah
In a landscape where most Indian shipbuilders employ traditional method of executing ship design by in-situ construction, Vedam revolutionized the industry by introducing Block Building methodology that delivers significant time and cost savings. One of the first companies to start the practice of complete 3-D modeling of the whole ship in a virtual environment including its pipes, HVAC and cable trays before even the first plate of steel has been cut, Vedam’s detail designs offer better ergonomics in the engine room.
