Shipboard Installations

Anytime, Anywhere Installations
Continually building on our shipboard installation work for the past 75 years, CRCI travels around the world to meet our nation's fleet service requirements.

Our Alteration Installation Team (AIT) technicians provide all facets of TempAlt, ShipAlt, and engineering change installations. This capability is evident through extensive installation execution on board many ship classes. CRCI personnel are specifically trained in shipboard maintenance and work control procedures to include Tag-out and Work Authorization Forms, CP and Marine Chemist services. Our expert installation services include—

Equipment removal
Cabling
Connectorization
Power panel wiring
Electrical equipment installation
Power plant overhauls
Antenna overhauls
Antenna tilt group overhauls
Waveguide targeting, fabrication and installation
Sonar dome overhauls
ALLSS Surveillance System installation and groom
CIWS installation and cabling
Foundation fabrication and modification
Complete shipboard welding services

We plan, procure, fabricate, remove, install, and complete all equipment and electrical aspects of every alteration package, including cable way inspections, fabrication, installation and finishing work.

In addition,CRCI installation personnel have a strong working relationship with planning yards and provide on site analysis and resolution pertaining to installation issues, Liaison Action Requests (LAR), Departure From Specification (DFS), and redline drawings. We rapidly resolve problems in accordance with published Naval procedures and requirements—a vital component of cost saving in shipboard installations.

Fiber Optic Cable Installation & Connector Construction

CRCI maintains fiber optic cable installation and connector termination capabilities unmatched in the shipboard installation industry. With documented termination failure rates of less than 1 percent, we provide first-time fiber optic installation and termination of shipboard cable assemblies without the added cost of rework.

Our fiber optic installation and termination processes and procedures, coupled with our detailed knowledge of MIL-STD-2042B─Fiber Optic Cable Topology Installation Standard Methods for Naval Ships, ensures post termination light loss values of typically less than 0.5 db per mated pair, exceeding the 0.75 db per mated pair NAVSEA specification for acceptable termination light loss. These high-quality terminations ensure optical power budgets are maximized to the fullest extent, providing improved connectivity, integrity, and reliability for shipboard systems.

CRCI's fiber optic technicians maintain the highest levels of proficiency in fiber optic termination capabilities through continued training and shipboard application. Our technicians receive NAVSEA-approved training from KITCO meeting the requirements of MIL-STD-2042B for shipboard fiber applications, and are certified Fiber Optic Installers (FOI). Our knowledge level and understanding of fiber optic principles, Military Standards, and shipboard requirements enable us to perform fiber optic cabling installation and connector termination with unmatched quality, precision, and speed.
