Commercial Diving

Overview & Capabilities

We deliver comprehensive commercial diving, subsea engineering, and marine support services for nearshore, coastal & inland assets. As a fully registered HSE Diving Contractor and Full Member of the Association of Diving Contractors (ADC), we operate to the highest UK safety standards using certified personnel, surface-supplied air systems, and real-time surface-monitored video. From planned civil engineering projects to emergency response, our teams provide turnkey underwater solutions designed to minimize facility downtime and maximize asset lifespan.

Core Capabilities

Inspection, Survey & NDT We conduct Close Visual (CVI) and General Visual (GVI) inspections supported by live HD surface monitoring and time-stamped video recording. Our Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) capabilities include Ultrasonic Thickness (UT) gauging, Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI), and Cathodic Protection (CP) surveys. We regularly perform pier scour assessments, caisson inspections, intake and outfall pipe inspections, dock wall integrity checks, and UWILD (Underwater Inspection in Lieu of Dry-docking) class surveys for commercial vessels.

Subsea Construction & Civil Engineering Our dive teams handle underwater concrete formwork, tremie pours, grout bag placement, and structural underpinning. We provide full support for scour protection, subsea drilling, cofferdam installation, and pile positioning. For heavy modification or removal, we utilize oxy-arc cutting, specialized wet welding, Pnuematic breaking, and mechanical demolition techniques.

Maintenance, Servicing & Utilities We maintain critical marine infrastructure through high-pressure hydro-jetting, airlift/dredging and pipe plugging or blanking. Our dive teams service subsea valves, replace seals and structural bolts, and retrofit sacrificial anode systems. We also provide vessel maintenance, including emergency propeller entanglement clearing and underwater coating applications.

Emergency Response & Salvage Operating a 24/7 emergency call-out team, we deploy rapidly for structural failures, critical pipe blockages, vessel entanglements, and marine salvage operations, offering full rigging and heavy-lift support for asset recovery.

Quayside & Civil Marine Repairs

We provide specialized marine civil engineering and structural repair services for ports, harbours, jetties, and industrial berths. Our experienced civils teams deliver comprehensive structural restoration, fender replacements, and concrete rehabilitation along the splash zone, intertidal areas, and deck levels to extend asset lifespan, preserve load capacity, and keep berths operational.

Core Capabilities

Concrete Cap & Cope Beam Restoration We repair spalling, cracked, and degraded quay wall concrete caps, cope beams, and deck edges damaged by marine salt exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, or heavy vessel impacts.

Steel Pile & Sheet Pile Repair We reinforce and restore corroded or structurally compromised steel H-piles, and sheet pile retaining walls across tidal and splash zones.

Timber Fendering Systems (Greenheart & Ekki) We supply, craft, and fit heavy-duty timber fendering systems designed to absorb vessel kinetic energy and protect primary quay structures. We specialize in working with dense, high-durability marine hardwoods including Greenheart and Ekki (Lophira alata).

Rubber Fender Systems (300mm Section D-Fenders) We install, realign, and service commercial rubber fendering configurations, including continuous 300mm section D-fenders across extensive berth lengths (300m+ sections), as well as arch, cone, and cylindrical profiles.

Structural & Steel Fabrication

We deliver high-precision structural steel fabrication and welding services for harsh marine, civil, and industrial environments. Operating from fully equipped workshops with mobile site deployment, our team builds robust steelwork engineered to resist severe coastal corrosion and heavy dynamic loads.

Core Capabilities

Marine & Primary Structural Steelwork

We manufacture heavy-duty steel infrastructure including tubular piles, waling beams, pile caps, mooring bollard plates, walkway gantries, and access ladders tailored for port facilities and coastal developments.

Custom Platework & Fender Systems

Our team builds bespoke steel backing plates, mounting brackets, transition pieces, wear plates, spud poles, and tie-back assemblies designed to integrate directly with concrete, timber, or sheet-pile quay structures.

Coded Welding & Site Installation

Supported by mobile site teams, our certified welders provide field modifications, structural erection, and rapid repairs using MIG/MAG and MMA welding techniques backed by crane and barge logistics.

Marine Surface Preparation & Coatings

All steelwork undergoes rigorous surface protection to handle extreme salinity, including Sa 2.5 grit blasting, hot-dip galvanizing, and multi-coat C5-M marine epoxy paint systems built for long-term splash zone protection.

Buoy & Navigation Aid Maintenance

We deliver full-lifecycle maintenance, inspection, and deployment services for navigational aids, swim lane markers, and commercial marine buoys. Backed by over 20 years of continuous service managing seasonal buoyage systems for local authorities and harbour managers, our experienced dive and vessel crews handle everything from routine servicing to heavy mooring overhauls and emergency buoy recoveries.

Core Capabilities

Mooring Chain, Weight Block & Lighting Servicing

Our team performs complete submerged and topside component maintenance to keep navigation markers fully operational and secure. We inspect, service, and replace heavy ground tackle—including sinker weight blocks, marine swivel shackles, and high-tensile mooring chains—alongside servicing or replacing top-side navigation lanterns, solar battery systems, and radar reflectors.

Seasonal Deployment, Storage & Refurbishment

We provide complete seasonal management programs for coastal local authorities, ports, and beach operations. Having placed, recovered, and stored out-of-season swim and boat lane marker buoys for Brighton and Hove for over 15 years, we offer a turn-key solution covering autumn recovery, secure winter shore-storage, full blast-cleaning and re-painting, and precise spring re-deployment.

Buoy Recovery, Refurbishment & Heavy Handling

Utilizing specialized work vessels like the M.V. Valkyrie with onboard crane and A-frame handling capabilities, we recover damaged, adrift, or degraded buoys directly from marine sites. We handle large-scale marker buoys standing up to 4–5 meters in height with 4–5 meter diameters and unit weights reaching up to 2 tonnes—offering complete workshop structural overhaul and re-commissioning or the installation and precision positioning of brand-new replacement systems.
