Underwater welding is a skill which all diving companies offer, but the separation begins to widen where diving companies are required to write Welding Procedures and qualify diving welders to them.
We provide one of our proven and tested Underwater Welding Procedures for all projects. We select a procedure which fits the application at the moment.
Where new procedures must be written, we write a procedure and test it in one of our three underwater test tanks in Jacksonville. If the procedure works well, and is qualified, the task to qualify welders to the procedure is undertaken. The Diver-Welders assigned to the job, and whom have qualified to the procedure can then practice in the welding test tank.
We designed and developed Dry Habitat Welding procedures using a dry hyperbaric welding habitat. The habitat can be used to seal around the object to be welded, the water is removed, and diver-welders conduct the repairs in the “dry”.
Wet welding procedures are available to meet American Welding Society AWS D3.6-93 standards for Class welds.
We meet certain welding codes for the American Bureau of Shipping, Det Norske Veritas, Lloyds Registry of Shipping, Bureau Veritas, etc.
The diving school here trains divers in underwater welding and certifies them to AWS D3.6M-1999 standards.
