Commercial Diving
Our certified divers perform comprehensive underwater operations including structural inspections, thickness readings, and confined space entry. Specialising in challenging environments, we deliver precise solutions for marine infrastructure maintenance and repair. With advanced training and equipment, our team ensures safe and efficient project execution across diverse maritime settings.
Underwater Welding
Specialist welding services meeting AWS D3.6 and BS 4872-1 standards for underwater structural repairs. Our coded divers perform cathodic protection installations and steel repairs using advanced techniques. This critical service maintains maritime infrastructure integrity while adhering to strict quality assurance protocols.
Hydro Demolition
High-pressure water jetting solutions for precise underwater concrete removal and surface preparation. Our 15,000psi equipment creates accurate toe trenches and removes marine growth without damaging structures. This technique enables subsequent construction work while preserving environmental integrity.
Boat Recovery
Emergency recovery of submerged vessels using lift bags and specialist marine equipment. Our experienced team safely retrieves small craft and objects from seabeds, supported by local industry partnerships for efficient operations. This service minimises environmental impact during recovery processes.
Pile Wrapping
Durable HDPE jacket systems that extend pile lifespan by preventing water and oxygen ingress. Our certified installation of HCL Fasteners' protection systems suits timber, steel, and concrete structures. This cost-effective solution reduces maintenance requirements for marine infrastructure.
