Marine Design and Manufacturing Capabilities
Driving comprehensive marine system capabilities through facility, equipment, and staffing excellence. From machining and fabrication to inspection, program management, and beyond.
In-house Manufacturing Processes and Real-world Testing
Jered facilities providing over 300,000 square feet for in-house fabrication, assembly, and warehousing of our critical marine systems. Located near the waterfront, these facilities house an electronics lab, an elevator test tower, multiple high-capacity cranes, and several manufacturing process machines from mills and lathes to plasma cutting and welding machines.
Our advanced ability to fabricate and assemble on site helps us ensure the highest quality and reduce the risk of supply chain delays. Jered is focused on continual improvement of our facility and manufacturing processes. We have several facility improvements planned through 2025 including adding a new waterjet cutting machine and large bridge mill to our equipment inventory.
Our comprehensive range of capabilities:
- Crane Access
- Electronics Lab
- Elevator Test Tower
- Machining Fabrication
- Welding
- Metal Working
- Quality and Inspection
- Engineering and Design
- Program Management and Scheduling
Crane Access and Elevator Test Tower
By 2025, Jered will have a fleet of fourteen cranes on-site, ranging from two 5 ton, 1-hoist cranes all the way up to three 40 ton, dual-hoist cranes. This advanced lifting capacity allows us to conduct real-world, hands-on testing and inspections of our marine systems, ensuring the highest standards of performance and reliability.
Our on-site elevator test tower is designed for rigorous testing and analysis of our state-of-the-art electric and hydraulic aircraft elevators. Capable of simulating up to 250,000 lbs. of weight, the tower allows Jered to go beyond simulation and perform real-world testing of load, stress, fatigue, reliability, and safety on our latest elevator designs.
Machining and Metalworking Capabilities
Jered’s on-site machining capabilities include four mills and two lathes with a large bridge mill and additional medium-sized mill arriving soon to further enhance our operations. This in-house milling reduces our reliance on outsourcing, fosters better communication, enables design adaptations, and drives quality improvements.
In addition, we have a plasma cutting machine on-site and will introduce a new waterjet cutting machine by mid-2025. Our ability to form, bend, sheet, and cut metal on-site optimizes pre-processing and elevates the quality of our marine systems.
Welding and Fabrication Capabilities
Within our assembly and fabrication facilities, we have over 40 welding machines that cover several welding processes (e.g., MIG, TIG, Fluxcore). Our breadth of welding expertise covers several metal types including steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and several alloys including high strength low alloy steel (HLSA: high 80 and high 100 grade). As experts in particular specialty metals, we write and validate our own procedures and quality processes.
In-house, we also have non-destructive testing (NDT) capabilities for visual inspection (VT), magnetic particle testing (MT), ultrasonic testing (UT), penetrant testing (PT), and radiographic testing (RT). Our procedures have been qualified by our customers including the U.S. Navy for radiographic inspections (RT) on our welds.
Quality Systems and Inspection Capabilities
Quality control is critical for marine equipment reliability and peak operational performance. Our qualified production control, quality control engineers, and technicians have extensive experience in quality systems, processes, and inspections.
Within our facilities, we have portable coordinate measuring machines (CMM), laser tracker, and a structure designed to install any marine door—up to large hull hanger doors—to inspect and test for critical features such as water-tightness. We also employ National Association of Safety Authorities (NAESA) international QEI certified field service technicians and NDT inspectors.
Electrical Development and Testing
As pioneers in electric marine systems, Jered features a state-of-the-art electronics lab within our facilities. In this lab, we outfit, implement, and rigorously test our systems, including variable speed drive (VSD), variable frequency drive (VFD), motor, controller, and software quality testing.
Jered also provides end-to-end assembly of VFD/VSD cabinetry and controls with the flexibility to wire and test pre-fabricated cabinets as well.
Program Management and Scheduling Capabilities
Clear and comprehensive program management is critical to effective marine system projects. Every system design is a different project even if we are on the 15th iteration of a legacy design. Jered teams perform a substantial requirement capture process at the start of every project to best understand assumptions, requirements, risks, and scheduling for project success.
Jered also deploys dedicated scheduling teams to routinely review and analyze processes and scheduling to keep projects on track and understand capacity and risk.
