Chemical Facility

Our certified dive teams handle underwater work in chemical and industrial plants with a strong focus on safety, contamination control, and compliance with environmental regulations.

What we offer

Our certified dive teams handle underwater work in chemical and industrial plants with a strong focus on safety, contamination control, and compliance with environmental regulations. We are experienced in working in high-risk environments where precision and strict adherence to safety protocols are essential.

Services Include

Inspection and cleaning of submerged structures and tanks

We assess and clean underwater sections of tanks, reservoirs, and industrial basins to remove deposits, ensure hygiene, and maintain operational capacity.


Key Services

  • Targeted removal of deposits for hygiene and throughput
  • Inspection of linings, welds, and interfaces to prevent failure
  • Documented findings that support QA/QC and compliance
  • Work windows planned around production schedules

Maintenance of intake and discharge systems

Our divers service and repair intake grates, screens, and discharge points to maintain optimal water flow and prevent downtime in production processes.


Key Services

  • Service screens, grates, and outfalls to stabilize process flows
  • Rapid sealing of defects; replacement of worn parts
  • Preventive programs to reduce unplanned shutdowns
  • Traceable records for audits and stakeholder reporting

Debris removal from cooling water channels

We remove sediment, biological growth, and foreign objects from cooling water channels to protect equipment and maintain efficient thermal exchange.


Key Services

  • Eliminate sediment, biofouling, and foreign objects
  • Protect heat-exchanger efficiency and lower energy draw
  • Safe operations in tight, low-visibility sections
  • Post-service verification with temperature/flow improvement notes

Underwater welding and cutting for repairs or modifications

Certified welders perform precise underwater fabrication and cutting to restore or adapt metal components in plant systems.


Key Services

  • Structural crack repair, anode replacement, bracket installs
  • Precision fabrication in situ to minimize outages
  • NDT and weld logs aligned to plant QA standards
  • Corrosion-protection measures for longevity

Pipeline inspection and rehabilitation

We inspect submerged pipelines for leaks, blockages, and corrosion, and carry out repairs or lining work to restore performance and extend lifespan.


Key Services

  • Locate leaks, corrosion, and internal obstructions
  • Execute sectional repairs, sleeves, or lining solutions
  • Pigging/cleaning and flushing to restore capacity
  • Deliver GIS/video evidence for asset integrity teams

Confined space diving in industrial systems

Our team is trained to operate in tight, restricted areas such as tanks, shafts, and process vessels, with full adherence to safety protocols.


Key Services

  • Safe operations in tanks, shafts, culverts, and process vessels
  • Full HSE procedures, gas monitoring, and rescue readiness
  • Minimal disruption to surrounding plant operations
  • Detailed entry permits and close-out documentation

Diving in contaminated or hazardous environments (HSE compliant)

We follow strict safety measures when working in chemically or biologically hazardous waters, using specialized equipment and decontamination procedures.


Key Services

  • Specialized PPE, decontamination, and waste handling
  • Chemical compatibility planning and exposure control
  • Environmental safeguards to protect site and personnel
  • Comprehensive compliance documentation

24/7 incident support & compliance reporting

We respond around the clock to stabilize operations and protect people, assets, and the environment. Teams mobilize rapidly to contain incidents, implement temporary bypasses, and reduce losses while root-cause specialists define corrective actions—documented in audit-ready reports for management and regulators.


Key Services

  • Rapid mobilization to contain and resolve issues
  • Temporary bypass and stabilization to reduce losses
  • Root-cause insights with corrective actions
  • Audit-ready reports for management and regulators
