Construction
Diving

Waters Marine is based on the Gold Coast, where we have been operating since 1996. We are well situated, for coastal and inland diving throughout eastern Australia, and regularly travel inland.

Our underwater work regularly includes:
- Underwater Maintenance
- Underwater Cutting, Welding, Cleaning
- Construction & Repairs
- Underwater Inspections
- Rigging & Marine Installations
- Pile Repairs
- Marine Salvage
- Pipe Repairs & Pigging
- Deep Diving

Contamination
Diving

Diving in contaminated environments requiring protection of the diver from harmful substances.

Contaminated diving requires the use of fully enclosed suits and helmets. Waters Marine has contracted to councils water authorities and abattoirs for work in sewer treatment plants and aeration ponds.

We can provide:

• Inspections and repairs of rising mains and pipes
• Plugging pipes for valve isolation
• Recovery of mixer paddles and pipes
• Repairs or modification to plants
• Removing accumulated sediment in recycled water storage tanks
• Leak detection for recycled water storages
• Fitting of pump rails or mounting brackets
• Inspections of outfalls or diffusers

Reservoir
Maintenance

Our companies beginnings were created with our work involving Reservoir Preventative and Corrective Maintenance.

We clean reservoirs, using diver controlled vacuums, to remove sediment waste and silt from the reservoir floors. We perfected this system when it was a new concept. The reservoir can remain online providing minimal downtime and minimal water loss.

Our divers utilise our various vacuums, specifically designed for the purpose of cleaning a range of reservoirs, and types of sediments. We also fit ladders cages and mixers in reservoirs.

Reservoir hygiene is an important part of our role in potable water facilities.

Confined Space
Solutions

We regularly enter confined spaces for diving and non diving situations. We are a unique skill set, where our background occupation has seen us enter many environments where breathing is not possible.

Our core dive staff are trained for diving under the internationally recognised ADAS diving system. We are also trained and certified for confined space entry, confined space supervision, confined space rescue, and working at heights. Our equipment is often used for entering water reservoirs, pipework, river intakes, sewerage structures, weirs.

Our service can provide confined space supervision for engineers, or other specialty services, or we have divers, fitters and welders, who are proficient at carrying out repairs on equipment in the confined space.

We specialise in entering those confined space places which are a bit out of the ordinary for most occupations, and with a diving background, we are experts at figuring out solutions in hazardous environments.

ROV Inspections

The term ROV refers to Remotely Operated Vehicle. ROV’s are popularly used for underwater projects, where they are tethered to the surface, and controlled by a ROV pilot. ROV’s are particularly useful because they have no depth restrictions which may limit divers, no depth time limitations, ability to enter dangerous and small spaces or contaminated water, and very good quality video.

Waters Marine’s own Video Ray Pro 5 ROV, has been operating as part of our sevices for the past five years to inspect – pipes, water tanks and other structures in dams and rivers throughout Queensland and New South Wales. We also provide a DVD or thumb drive copy of the inspection, as soon as the inspection is complete for the client’s records.

Waters Marine’s ROV can reach depths of 300 metres. It has two high quality video cameras with still capability, adjustable lighting, two forward thrusters and one depth thruster. A manipulator arm at the front of the ROV can hold small items when found on the sea bed, or attach tools such as probes and metal thickness gauges. Sonar can also be fitted for low visibility water.

Moorings

With mooring experience dating back to 1990, there are not too many companies with our knowledge of what does and doesn’t work with moorings. We offer mooring installations from new, upgrades to older moorings, and offer routine programmed mooring inspections.

We can install environmental moorings with a helix screw or clump weight anchor. The in water section is usually a custom made rope section with an elastic core, which offers a superior shock absorber under water. We can then fit this to the surface float of your choice.

Our vessels are set up to make mooring work a lot easier. We have winches, small cranes, and stable work platforms for the job. We can install one mooring for the average swing mooring, or a large mooring field for yacht clubs or marinas. Our mobile drill equipment can even work off other boats, meaning we can travel to anywhere in the world if required.
