Technical & Design Support

Coastal Workboats have a vast amount of experience and knowledge of bringing new vessels, retrofits, modifications, general fabrications and outfitting proposals & designs to life through our powerful in-house CAD skills combined with our highly experienced team of engineers & skilled workforce.

As a shipyard we have developed a broad range of effective in-house support capabilities catering for a large range of processes including Metal Fabrication, Outfitting Joinery, Installation of Ship Systems and Equipment.

Focussed on efficiently structured and modelled designs driven by an understanding of the work processes and the operations involved to achieve a well thought out, fit for purpose and robust end product.  We specialise in the marine sector, specifically small commercial workboats and the industries they serve and support.

Our Technical & Design Support service offers a professional service supported by 3D modelling, Visual Design Renderings, Technical Drawings and Accurate Cutting Files.   Ranging from small to large scale assemblies or projects. 

CAD Support can be provided to

  • In-house projects

  • Bespoke fabrication projects

  • Vessel owners 

  • Naval architects

We also build on our in-house design capabilities through our well-established working partnership with naval architects, engineers, electrical engineers and classification societies to effectively project manage.   We can support taking basic designs through to a tight developed job construction/manufacture pack, refinement and control of existing designs and design & classification approval support.

Previous design & engineering projects include;

  • Widening Exeter canal basin boardwalk. 

  • Clyst cycle bridge installation. 

  • Goosemoor Nature Reserve boardwalk.
