Design and installation of anchoring systems

Deep Dive Systems is a recognized expert in the development of overall concepts of anchoring systems for floating structures at various depths. Our team offers to the clients a detailed, custom-made technical design containing all specifications and parameters. After the approval of the final draft, Deep Dive Systems undertakes the supply, delivery, installation, maintenance and, if needed, the dismantling of the underwater anchoring systems.

 

Manufacture, delivery and installation of modular pontoon systems

Deep Dive Systems performs a broad range of services associated with the production, delivery and installation of modular pontoon systems. The increasing number of their applications accounts for their popularity.

Our company is also a producer of high quality modular systems made from high density polyethylene (HDPE) – a polymer with numerous properties, including chemical resistance, impact resistance and high strength.

The modular HDPE pontoon systems help to avoid the problems encountered with metal, concrete or wooden structures. They are safer because they lack sharp edges and do not have very hard and slippery surface. The pontoon systems are environment-friendly and reliable, with easy maintenance.

Deep Dive Systems assumes responsibility for the development of modular pontoon systems coordinated with each particular client. The company’s activities include transportation of the elements and assembly on the site using the company’s own equipment and technology.

 

Distribution of Poralu Marine floating pontoons

Deep Dive Systems is a supplier of floating pontoons. Our company is the exclusive representative of the French brand Poralu Marine whose floating pontoons, platforms, gangways and paths are used in the construction of ports, worksites, breakwaters, water attractions and others.

That is the reason why the floating pontoons are provided in various sizes and have a different load-bearing capacity (kg / m2).
Upon client’s request, Deep Dive Systems performs the installation and the dismantling of the floating pontoons.

 

Underwater work on hydraulic facilities

Deep Dive Systems has assembled an international team of experienced commercial divers who perform numerous tasks requiring underwater work at great depths and the use of specific diving equipment and gas mixtures.
The high quality equipment for diving and underwater work complies with all national and international safety standards.

Among the sites that often require professional diving operations are:

* Dams and other water reservoirs
* Reservoirs of hydroelectric power plants
* Port facilities needing development and expansion.

 

Underwater inspections

Fully adapted for the local conditions, the underwater inspection is intended to establish the existing needs for the maintenance or repair of underwater structures. The company Deep Dive Systems has gained broad experience in the inspection of vessels and hydro-engineering facilities.

The remoteness of most sites requires transportation of diving gears and equipment for underwater inspection at long distances. The company-owned vehicles transport the necessary equipment and materials to the worksite.
The meticulous planning in advance enables our team to arrive on the site fully equipped which guarantees uninterrupted inspection activities within the shortest time possible even in remote and hard-to-access locations.
Among the most frequent inspections performed by our team are the ones of marinas, floating pontoon facilities, boats, dam walls, valves, cranes, and other underwater structures.

 

Underwater Videography

Videography is an important element of underwater inspection. Deep Dive Systems operates with high-tech systems for photographing and video recording that guarantee good image quality and high resolution even in turbid water conditions and reduced visibility.

The main purpose is to provide the client with accurate records showing the condition of the underwater structure and possible damages.

Most often these video services are needed to inspect dams, exhaust manifolds, ship hulls, and elements of hydroelectric power plants, underwater pipes and cables.

The videography permits establishing, documenting and analyzing the overall condition of the facility including the condition of the paint, the degree of corrosion, existing cracks, leaks and other.

 

Underwater construction and repair works

Deep Dive Systems performs various subsea operations associated with construction works and installation. We work with specialized high-tech hydraulic and pneumatic equipment. Among the expert services offered by us are:

  • Cutting -the technology of thermal cutting allows quick and efficient cutting, piercing and gouging of metal under water. The service is offered for underwater construction works, repairs, planned maintenance, the dismantling and demolition of various underwater structures (pontoons, piers, bridges, dams, etc.).
  • Welding – the technology allows welding of the parts directly underwater, which often saves time, money and efforts. Welding is needed for elements of boat hulls, docks, pipelines, reservoirs, hydropower stations and others.
  • Drilling – special pneumatic and hydraulic tools are used. Our systems are capable of drilling various materials: metal, rock, concrete, and wood, each one requiring different equipment and drilling technique. Subsea drilling can be needed for many purposes such as: installation and repairs of anchors, ropes, securing and fastening the hydro-engineering facilities, etc.
  • Underwater Concreting – it is widely used in marine construction for the purpose of strengthening and stabilizing the coastal and harbor structures. The service requires highly-experienced divers and precise preliminary planning. When pouring the concrete underwater, the visibility is often low, so the method of laying and the content of the concrete mix must be carefully selected before starting the process. Concreting is needed when laying underwater foundations and slabs as well as for coatings of pipelines, strengthening of banks and embankments and others.

 

Bathymetry and 3D scanning of the bottom

Deep Dive Systems activities include bathymetry and 3D scanning of the bottom for a precise hydrographic and topographic survey of the underwater landscape. The company works with certified first-class equipment specialized for scanning the bottom for detailed bathymetry data and 3D models, diving gears, equipment for underwater videography; the company operates its own vessels as well as a specialized barge for performing deep-water work.

The obtained bathymetry data is used mainly to secure the shipping navigation. The comprehensive and detailed 3D recording and surveying of the water facilities and equipment saves time, labor and resources . This technology, on the one hand, significantly improves the quality and efficiency in the study of the hydraulic, geomorphological and ecological processes in the water basins and, on the other hand, it facilitates making the most appropriate business decisions related to the facilities and water resources management.
