-------PRE ENGINEERING CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND PROMOTION SERVICES--------     VISUAL DOCUMENTATION OF PROJECTS       From the moment you call we can help start the process of documentation.  We are one of the few companies that don't mind telling you how to do it. With todays digital technology the process is easy.   Visual documentation can cover a lot of venues. From simply keeping a chronological history of where you've been - to using the material in other projects.     Within 5 minutes (or 5 years) of an event you can have your images posted on a web site and still be able to use them for magazine ads or video productions... if you do it right.  This is just one of many projects we documented and a few of the thousands of pictures taken for Kennedy that helped continue bringing in projects over the years. Between each picture there might be as many as a few dozen, to hundreds more to use without concern for copyright infringement.  We can do the same for you. Below are two brief samples of documentation stories that allowed us to cross over from one to the other CLEAR CREEK ENVIRONMENTAL FOUNDATION GETS NEW BARGE - April 08, 2002 - Having grown up in the same region of Southeast Texas shipyard owner Chris Kennedy (Kennedy Ship and Repair, LP) and Rex Ward (co-founder of CCEF) have many of the same interests in mind.  Keeping our waterways and fishing industry healthy for the next generation.   Looking at the damage to their own boats created by trying to keep Clear Creek, an estuary of Galveston Bay clean and healthy, CCEF co-founder Rex Ward approached long-time friend Chris Kennedy for help. Building a tough, bayou size barge for the foundation proved to be a worthwhile endeavor. Each year the foundation organizes a community wide clean-up effort to remove trash and debris from the winding waterway resulting in the involvement of more than 400 volunteers and the removal of almost 40 tons of trash that has accumulated over the previous year.   While the foundation works to keep Clear Creek, an estuary of Galveston Bay, clean and healthy by hosting an annual cleanup and year-round seeding and planting of grasses to protect the shores, Kennedy is tasked to build a barge of sufficient size and strength to endure the rugged environment. See more by visiting the associated sites at www.clearcreekcleanup.org.   Watson Enterprises, MarineImaging developed the foundations logo, produced their first brochures, followed the events for two years documenting the cleanup efforts and made a video production chronicling the events for the local access televion station.   KENNEDY CLOSES CONTRACTS ON FIVE 105' GULF TRAWLERS    July 27, 2004 - After almost four years of practically living in a Galveston shipyard documenting the construction and repairs of numerous vessels, following the process with still photos and videography from contract discussions to sea trials, Watson Enterprises has included some of their photos on this page. Much of this work was used to develop marketing videos, web sites, magazine ads, and sales brochures for the shipyard. Constructing The Jigs Begins     Construction On Hulls 01 and 02 Begins & Adding One More Jig To Start Three More Boats       Setting The Props and Kort Nozzles       Flipping The Hulls   Rather than go through a sequence of photos, this animation shows the process used to flip the boats that were constructed in inverted fashion.  Built watertight, the dock was flooded and the boats were floated upside down to the side of the graving dock. Holes were cut into the bottom and one side was partially flooded. A crawler crane was then used to flip the boat. This was known as a "soft-flip" which allowed bottom construction to proceed further than if it had to be flipped on dry land.     Adding The Bulwarks and Cap Rails       Setting Of The Engines, Generators, and Hydraulics       Constructing And Adding The Deckhouse       Interior Views       Additional Rigging Topside       Painting And Finishing       Flooding The Dock - Ready To Test Systems       Outfitting And Making Ready       Underway Sea Trials       © 1997-2016 c.r. watson - all rights reserved The use of any trademarks, trademarked names, and/or copyrighted information is stated as a fact of record and is not intended to imply endorsement of any kind.
