| Underwater Inspections |
 |
Downeast Diving has a staff of professional divers which provide comprehensive condition evaluations of marine vessels,
underwater structures including piers, wharves, dry docks, breakwaters, revetments, and many other in-water structures.
These divers are capable of evaluating the structural significance of observed damage and making on-site assessments of structural condition. Having trained inspection divers in the water, doing the
inspection, is the most appropriate method for getting an accurate assessment of the structure’s condition and providing
effective maintenance and repair strategies.
All Underwater Services are performed in accordance with OSHA and
USCG requirements as well as Association of Diving Contractors International (ADC) recommendations. Downeast
Diving has also adopted the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) “Underwater Investigations: Standard Practice Manual”.
