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. |

| 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.
