Ocean Liner Bow Mockup

K-zell Metals worked with Fire Training Structures to fabricate a mockup of the bow of an Ocean going Freighter.  This added a more realistic feel to the firefighting simulator that Fire Training Structures built for a Fuel Terminal.

K-zell Metals transformed the customer’s Solidworks model into panels that could be press brake formed into the vertical plates of the bow and other panels that could be rolled into the bulbous bow.  The panels were laser cut, either rolled or press brake formed and then welded to a structural skeleton that could be dis assembled and shipped to the final job site and quickly re assembled.

K-zell Metals has fabricated bow sections for two different ships.
