Projects / Pipe & Outfitting / PNS Babur (F-280)

Pipe fabrication, outfitting and steel fabrication works on a Pakistan Navy frigate under DGS.

On the PNS Babur (F-280) project, CMS AS carried out block fabrication and assembly to naval shipbuilding standards at DGS. With an experienced engineering team and certified welders, CMS AS safeguarded dimensional accuracy and weld quality across every work item. The zero-defect mindset expected in naval shipbuilding was reflected in every step of production.

Scope of Work

The engineering and fabrication items undertaken:

Outfitting: Outfitting works: fabrication and installation of piping, HVAC, deck equipment and accommodation systems.
Piping: Pipe-spool fabrication, prefabrication to isometric drawings and onboard installation.
Steel Fabrication: Industrial steel-structure fabrication, machining and welded assembly.

Engineering & Execution

Engineering, planning and site teams worked in coordination, synchronising the block and outfitting workflow with the shipyard’s master build schedule. The traceability and quality-documentation requirements specific to naval projects were fully met. Coordination between workshop and site teams kept the work items progressing without interruption and safely.

Standards & Quality Assurance

All fabrication processes were performed under approved procedures and class-society survey. Welding was performed to WPS/WPQR-approved procedures and verified by NDT (UT/RT and visual inspection). Piping and outfitting systems were handed over after pressure testing and functional checks.

As a result, CMS AS served as a reliable supply partner in producing a platform that contributes to our national defence capability. The project was thus supported on schedule and to defence-industry quality expectations. The experience CMS AS has accumulated in shipbuilding and industrial steel since 1990 makes it a trusted solution partner for shipyards.
