Nothing public.

Will any of this lead to a measurable increase in throughput?
EDIT:
And will they actually fund it themselves or do they have their hand out already?

I think this a result of some money the Feds gave them to improve the yard. Not sure if it was a straight up grant or a loan.

What's the expected, measurable increase in throughput as a result of this? Is there any or is this just empire building on Irving's part?

You are joking, right?

Or a loan that will inevitably be forgiven and become a de facto grant.

Sadly I wasn't but then you just woke me up from expecting anything in terms of increased efficiency or accountability from giving untold millions to a private company (family) that owns/controls virtually all of the Maritimes.

The previous Government was not super big on insisting on performance standards for money granted…

Infrastructure investment​

On August 8, 2023, Canada announced an investment of $463 million (including taxes) in the CSC project’s infrastructure enhancements at Irving Shipbuilding to improve schedule certainty and project costs. Furthermore, this investment will accelerate delivery of CSC vessels in time to meet the needs of the RCN. It will also create or maintain over 800 jobs annually across various industries in Canada while delivering the best value for Canadians.

The infrastructure enhancements will expand and modify the site and facilities at the Halifax Shipyard and supporting facilities in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, including at Woodside Industries and Marine Fabricators, to enhance capacity and accommodate the requirements of the CSC’s complex ship design.

Not certain, but the previous Liberals were really bad.

Most likely this option is the way it will fall out.
