The baseline hatch/scuttle on a Navy ship measures 30”x 60” and weighs approximately 265 lbs. Its weight can be a safety hazard during rough weather and emergency egress like the USS COLE experience. Changing crew demographics and other maintenance-related issues such as corrosion prevention were elements that considered in the design of a new hatch. KaZaK designed a lightweight replacement hatch that weighs just 69 lbs, has a low-corrosion design and the same approximate cost as using steel. The new hatch eliminates safety and operational concerns. Modular Deck Tracking
KaZaK also has worked on a rapid reconfiguration system for ship internal spaces. The Navy needed a modular deck and shock-certified mounts for rapid reconfiguration of ship compartment equipment layouts for improved ergonomics. KaZaK was able to design and develop shock-qualified decking with a low profile adapter. KaZaK also developed and tested composite inner-track panels and pultruded panel systems that reduce both weight and cost.
