Once fabrication was complete, the shelter system was shipped overseas to Gibraltar, where Big Top Manufacturing's technical representatives assisted an untrained crew to install the rail system and structure.

Big Top consultants performed an on-site analysis of the Cammell Laird location prior to structure design to ensure the structure would be a perfect fit and allow free movement on the rail system.
Malta Dry Docks
 
Location: Malta, Malta


Malta Dry Docks is located in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea just south of Italy. This area is home to some of the world's largest and most prestigious yachts. Malta's location is prime to draw these boats in for annual maintenance.

Malta Dry Docks saw the need to improve the repair facilities of No. 3 Dry Dock to accommodate mega-yachts in the 100+ meter range. There are a limited number of covered facilities in the area to keep up with increasing demand for such facilities. This new covered facility will be able to house yachts up to 150 meters.
