Deck Build-Up Weight Budget Calculator

Enter a deck area and the surface weight of the construction you are considering. The calculator returns the mass that build-up adds to the ship and checks it against the weight budget your naval architect has allowed for that space.

Deck inputs

Deck area (m²) Surface weight of the construction (kg/m²) Take this from the certificate line for the model you are pricing. Additional layers above it (kg/m²) Wearing surface or covering ordered on top. Leave at zero when the certificate figure is the whole build-up. Weight budget for this deck (kg)

Result

Enter your figures and press calculate.

What this calculator assumes

Surface weight is an input, not a constant

The calculator holds no product weights of its own. Whatever surface weight you type is what it uses, so a certificate line, a figure from another supplier or a target value all work the same way.

Area is flat plan area

Coamings, foundations and cut-outs are not deducted. On an accommodation deck that difference is small. On a machinery flat with large foundations it is not, so deduct those areas before you type.

The budget check is arithmetic, not an approval

A build-up that fits the budget still has to satisfy the fire boundary and the noise limit for that space. Weight is one of the three, and it is the one that is quickest to check first.

Send us your deck schedule and we will name the certified construction that fits the budget
