ABC Diving SERVICES:

• MARINE SALVAGE (sunken or aground vessels, barges or any sunken objects)
• SHIP WORK (rudder, stock and bearing /propeller, shafting, hull inspection and cleaning)
• CONTROL & INSPECTION reports (general survey, corrosion...) + Hight definition u/w digital VIDEO and u/w digital PHOTOGRAPHS footage (records on CD/DVD, also avaible through the web).
  
• GROUND & CONCRETE ANCHOR SYSTEMS (including hight capacity systems): all solutions for anchor bolt installation
• MOORING and BERTHING solutions with Manta Ray & Sting Ray Anchoring
• Underwater CUTTING (BR-22 Torch, HVR-4401 Regulator, UW/KS Knife Switch, and Ultrathermic Cutting Rods), the Broco® Underwater system provides the fastest, most efficient and cost effective means of completing underwater tasks involving cutting, piercing, or gouging.
  Ultrathermic Cutting Rod produces a temperature in excess of 10,000° F - hot enough to quickly cut or melt through almost anything including cast iron, stainless steel, brass, other ferrous and non-ferrous metals and concrete.
• Underwater WELDING (broco systems including mild steel, nickel and stainless steel electrodes).
  Nickel electrode produces welds with less porosity and allows deeper welding in the overhead position. Ni-Touch™ electrode is appropriate for all position groove and fillet welds.
• Surface and U/W CLEANING on marine structure (high pressure water jets - until 6000 psi)
• CORROSION prevention (protective coatings, cathodic protection, corrosion inhibitors, insulation, reference electrodes)
• Use of submarine bolt driving gun for rapid attachment of steel plate patches, wooden patches, security bolts, lifting bolts, spinter boxes, etc., and cofferdam work, or salvage purpses.
  This is an explosively actuated gun, which instaneously and without previous preparation of the plate (Mild Steel, H.T. or D. Quality Steel), drives at high velocity, special steel alloy threaded bolts into steel plate up to 1 inch thick. The bolt is of special 100-ton tensile steel with shearing strength of 10 tons per bolt.
  Two Cox's bolts have been driven through a solid brass plate over. 5 inches thick (Photo courtesy of Trinity Marine).
