ABSTRACT
Most of the graving docks in the United States (US) were constructed in the first half of the 20th century or before, with only two new graving docks constructed in the last 55 years. The navy has a comprehensive, 20-year plan to modernize its four naval shipyards in the US through the Naval Sea Systems Command’s (NAVSEA) Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program (SIOP). Replacing aging graving dry docks is part of the SIOP program and fulfills a vital role in the national defense. A new graving dry dock is being designed at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH), Hawaii, based primarily on United Facilities Criteria (UFC) for graving dry docks (UFC 4-213-10). The authors identified numerous opportunities for improvement in the criteria for design. This paper will examine challenges associated with graving dock design and identify gaps in design guidance with particular emphasis on solutions implemented for this project.
