Russian term or phrase: размах

Что-то такое Arctic Sea вез, не лес и не из Финляндии, что-то, что с размахом, с демонтажем переборок, с искрами от газового резака было погружено на него во время двухнедельных «ремонтных» работ в Калининграде.

I'm not clear what "swing" or "sweep" etc, is being referred to. Clearly something that takes place during refitting operations, but what? Your help appreciated.
