PURPOSE:To carry out assembling in a short time without need for providing any particular scaffolding by joining the side boards of ship-side upper and lower blocks to each other with said side boards as a base, connecting each of said upper and lower blocks via a temporarily provided reinforcing pillar, and carrying out transfer to a defined position by means of a crane. CONSTITUTION:A bilge hopper block 2 is joined to a top side tank block 3 on a horizontal surface with their respective side boards 2c, 3c as a base. A temporarily provided reinforcing pillar 5 is connected to both top surface 2a of a hopper plate and the bottom surface 3a of a tank bottom board via eye plates 2b, 3b which are temporarily provided on these surfaces. Transfer to a defined block part is carried out by means of a crane, etc. Thereby, it is not necessary to provide any particular scaffolding, every welding work etc. can be performed looking downward, and the whole work can be carried out safely and simply.
