Philadelphia Naval Shipyard's application of zone logic to ship overhaul is neither small nor isolated. PNSY started its implementation of zone logic in the late fall of 1986, targeting the Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) for USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) as the initial application. The technical services of Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (IHI), Japan were contracted to assist in this transition. This implementation on the Kitty Hawk is not a trial effort but involves about one third of the production man-days and covers over one half of the compartments on the ship. The actual SLEP production work on Kitty Hawk began in January 1988. Even though it is early in the three-year SLEP, zone logic already is proving its worth. This paper explains the zone logic methods and methodology applied at PNSY on Kitty Hawk. It also discusses the future of zone logic at PNSY and its continued application.

Phase I implementation of zone technology at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard (PNSY) began with the planning of the Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) of the USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) in 1986 with the assistance of Japanese engineers from Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (IHI). Phase II of zone technology implementation included the continuing work on the USS Kitty Hawk, extensive planning efforts for the USS Constellation (CV-64) SLEP, and the execution of a number of smaller availabilities. Phase III of zone technology consists of the completion of the Kitty Hawk SLEP, the final planning and commencement of the Constellation SLEP utilizing 100 percent zone technology, and the planning and execution of all future availabilities utilizing the concepts of zone technology. Significant lessons learned from prior availabilities, particularly the Kitty Hawk, have been identified and implemented on the Constellation SLEP. Encouraging results from smaller availabilities are presented. Initial comparisons between the Kitty Hawk and the Constellation SLEP work performance in cost and schedule are reviewed.

Service Life Extension

This paper presents sensitivity of service life extension and CO2 emission due to silane (alkyltriethoxysilane) treatment on concrete structures under time-dependent chloride attack. The service life is predicted by the Crank–Nicolson-based finite difference approach for avoiding the complexity in solving Fick’s second law. The complexity occurs due to time-dependent chloride attack and nonconstant diffusion coefficient of concrete with silane treatment. At the application time of silane treatment, the cumulative CO2 emission is assessed. The effectiveness of silane treatment is defined as the ratio of the service life extension to the cumulative CO2 emission assessed within the corrosion-free service life. The service life extension is defined as the difference between corrosion-free service life of concrete structures without and with time-based application of silane treatment. From the study, the diffusion of chlorides in concrete with silane treatment is found to be retarded. In comparison, the strategy without deterioration of silanes during effective duration is more suitable for service life extension but less effective than that with deterioration. In the sensitivity analysis, there are up to eight parameters to be determined. The service life of concrete structures without silane treatment is most sensitive to the water-to-cement ratio and the threshold depth of concrete structures. Considering only five parameters in silane treatment strategies, the service life is most sensitive to the first application time of silane treatment. The cumulative CO2 emission is most sensitive to either the first application time of silane treatment or the amount of CO2 emission per application.

Service Life Extension

This study presents assessment of the environmental impact in terms of the CO2 due to silane treatment for extending corrosion-free service life of concrete structures under chloride attack. To achieve this, there are two issues to be addressed; prediction of corrosion-free service life extension, and assessment of the amount of CO2 emission. In predicting the corrosion-free service life extension, the behaviors of chloride diffusion before and after time-based silane treatment are considered. Then, the cumulative CO2 due to silane treatment is accordingly calculated. The ratio of the corrosion-free service life extension to the cumulative CO2 is defined as the effectiveness of silane treatment, and used to compare different silane treatment strategies.
