TST Servicios presents temporary technical solutions for naval maintenance and operations at Navalia
Temporary solutions for naval operations
In naval environments, one of the most common questions from maintenance managers or shipyard supervisors is clear: “How do we ensure power supply, thermal control and safety without interrupting the ship’s or project’s operations?”
In response to this need, TST Servicios Técnicos is participating in Navalia with a focus on critical temporary installations designed to support ship maintenance, repair and refit work on ships, both in port and in shipyard.
With over 50 years’ experience in industrial solutions, TST offers rental, installation and 24/7 technical assistance in power systems, air conditioning, ventilation, drying and water pumping systems.
Real-world applications in ship maintenance and port environments
Temporary power supply: operational continuity in port
Generator sets ranging from 20 to 1,000 kVA enable:
●Power supply during technical stopovers or when the vessel is disconnected from the grid
● Power supply for tools, lighting and auxiliary systems in dry dock
●Support for welding, cutting and structural assembly work
This equipment features electronic regulation and remote control, facilitating continuous monitoring and preventing critical interruptions.
Air conditioning and chillers: temperature control in confined spaces
Water chillers (50 to 1,000 kW) and air-conditioning systems enable:
● Temperature control in engine rooms during maintenance
● Climate control of interior spaces (cabins, technical areas)
● Improved working conditions in enclosed spaces or those with high thermal loads
This type of solution is particularly important when the vessel is at anchor and its own systems are not operational.
Technical ventilation: air exchange and safety
Ventilation units and extraction systems are designed for:
● Air renewal in cellars, tanks or confined spaces
● Extraction of gases, dust or vapours generated during technical work
● Improving workplace safety during prolonged operations
TST offers high-flow equipment and specific models for demanding environments, including soundproofed and high-volume solutions.
Water pumping: drainage and fluid management
Water pumps and motorised water pumps enable the handling of common situations in the maritime sector:
● Baling out flooded bilges, bulkheads or compartments
● Transferring water during cleaning or maintenance operations
● Managing water build-up caused by leaks or hull work
These solutions are supplied as complete systems, including hoses, control panels and accessories, tailored to each operational requirement.
Technical drying: preparation of surfaces and structures
Ventilation and humidity control systems enable:
● Drying of areas affected by damp inside the vessel
● Surface preparation prior to painting or anti-corrosion treatments
● Reduced turnaround times for structural maintenance work
Humidity control is key to preventing defects in coatings and ensuring the durability of the work carried out.
Real-world application in a naval environment
During a technical stop in port, a vessel needs to disconnect its electrical system to carry out work in the engine room.
At the same time, welding work is being carried out on the hull, compartments are being cleaned, and coatings are being applied.
In this context:
● A generator ensures a continuous power supply.
● Ventilation systems ensure safe conditions in confined spaces.
● Pumping equipment manages water accumulation
● Air conditioning improves working conditions for technical staff.
The result is a safe, uninterrupted operation that does not rely on the ship’s own infrastructure.
How does TST meet the needs of the shipbuilding industry?
TST acts as a comprehensive technical partner, offering:
● Design and implementation of complete temporary installations
● In-house logistics and a 24/7 emergency response service
● Assembly, commissioning and technical maintenance
● Equipment inspected after every service to ensure reliability
Our aim is not simply to supply machinery, but to ensure that operations continue uninterrupted.
If you are planning a technical shutdown, dry dock maintenance or port operations, consult our technical team to determine the right solution without compromising on time or safety.
