VR SOP Training for Shipbuilding & Repair

Safer lifts, better sequencing and faster turnarounds

Yards manage heavy lifts, confined spaces and complex trades. Spark designs bespoke VR training that mirrors your block assembly, outfitting, welding, coating, dry-dock work and harbour tests—so teams rehearse the right steps safely.

Typical issues we fix

  • Lifting & staging: sling plans, banksman roles and exclusion zones.
  • Confined spaces: permits, gas tests and rescue readiness.
  • Systems: piping/electrical installs, pressure tests and leak control.
  • Coating/finishing: surface prep, film build and cure checks.

How the custom build helps

  1. Capture SOPs & RAMS: yard rules, test limits and sign-off steps.
  2. Create scenarios: block lifts, compartment entry, pressure tests and harbour trials prep.
  3. Coach in VR: simple prompts and hold points that match your forms.
  4. Assess: right-first-time, missed checks and safety behaviours.

Benefits

  • Fewer incidents and rework.
  • More predictable schedules and handovers.
  • Clear training evidence for clients and inspectors.
