Submerged Constructions

In some applications it is not possible to use divers to conduct inspection, maintenance or repair for underwater applications. One requires to create an underwater working environment/habitat/cofferdam. These types of temporary structures require an engineered sealing solution to ensure the serviceman can work in a dry and safe working environment. The constructions are often designed to be flexible and modular in design. Reliable engineered sealing technology and water tightness is here of great importance. 

The submerged temporary construction can be found in various configurations, the configuration depends on the location where the servicemen needs to conduct their specific tasks. Two commonly used configurations are: open front structure, where the works are at the front wall or very close to the wall. Second is the open bottom configuration, where the works are at the bottom or (river) bed level.

Submerged maintenance at quay or embankment

The construction is open on the front side as a halfe cylinder or rectangular construction. This configuration allows maintenance, inspection or repair on a submerged quay or embankment. 

Submerged maintenance at river bed level

Construction is a hollow cylinderical or rectangular system and requires to be sealed at the bottom of the structure. Giving the servicemen space to conduct maintenance or repair at the base/bottom of the submerged environment.

 

The to be sealing countersurfaces for these structures are quite challenging:

  • Due to the often rough countersurfaces at the quy or river bed making watertightness challenging.
  • The presence of movements in the structure due to wave, waterflow or tidal differences
  • The complex shapes the submerged constructions should adapt to and seal off

We do have the knowledge and expertise for designing proven technology sealing solutions for the habitat sealing applications.
