How do they deal with the wiring Gulfspan?
Take Care

Unless its a cable that relies on resistance it can be cut anywhere
Generally
its just tagged ,flagged ,pulled back from the nearest junction..then pulled ahead and reconnected after the join.. Hence the term "pulling wire" and "fishing"..If its allowed excess wire can be neatly coiled and secured in the event the ship gets lengthened.
Or they cut it all in the middle of the section thats getting removed,,and then spliced back via junctions ..
Job analysis will dedicate whats cut ,whats pulled ,whats moved,
pipes,duct, such will be strategically cut..Measurements taken can allow prefabrication of the short-end pipe's/duct while the ship is still being cut down..then rolled aboard test and final fits done,set the Hi/Low tack preheat,root,fill,cap,welder puts his ID number on and QC checks it out.
The whole idea to making this work is every system will be just ahead or in sync with the hull surgery..There will be systems that can be worked as the hull is being cut and re-welded..
so it falls like a domino foot by foot as the hull is being worked ..
To make it profitable a shipyard must to be timed perfectly,and firing on all cylinders..
