Norfolk Naval Shipyard’s (NNSY) Shipfitter Shop (Shop 11) installed waterjets back in September, and they are used every day. The team uses them to cut flanges and different types of foundations. Normally, the shop outsources their work, but the new waterjets allow them to keep the work in-house and not have to rely on other codes, which saves time and improves workflow. Each waterjet is a six-foot wide by 17-foot-long table that uses 55,000 pounds per square inch (PSI) water and garnet to cut materials up to nine inches thick.
