History

The construction of floating facilities of reinforced concrete hulls in Varna dates back to 1940, when a joint Bulgarian-German enterprise was established. This enterprise builds the first production facilities for this specific activity and implements the first projects. These assets were later transferred to Ship Machine – Building AD and the company continued the active development of this specific activity. Some of the projects implemented in the period 1943

Floating workshop

Over the years, more than 350 floating facilities for various purposes have been manufactured and delivered. The facilities of the "floating workshop" type predominated, which were supplied mainly to the then USSR, and their main purpose was to serve the valleys of the Siberian rivers. The floating workshops were performed according to the rules of the Russian Maritime Register. Thanks to the unique advantages provided by manufacturing technology

Floating pumping station

Another project implemented by Ship Machine - Building AD is the floating pumping station. The company has designed such facilities equipped with 4 pump units with a capacity of 800kW each, providing a total flow rate of 3.74 m3/s. One such facility is located in the Kozloduy NPP and its purpose is to use emergency cases for cooling the reactors with water from the Danube River Floating pumping stations can be included in meliorative systems where
