PRINCIPLE ACTIVITIES
Hull Cleaning
|
Most of our work is carried out using the scamper
system. This system has been specially developed for vessels coated with a SPC or silicone type anti-fouling and we can guarantee that we
can remove the marine growth without damaging the all important paint surfaces underneath. This cleaning system has been
approved by all the major paint companies. |

PROPELLER POLISHING
|
|
|
Underwater propeller
polishing and maintaining smooth propeller surfaces are now fully
appreciated, but propellers do foul up and for this we use our new
improved THREE-STAGE reconditioning system to achieve
a Rubert finish better than a Rubert 'A' on the Rubert Comparator. |

UNDERWATER SURVEYS
|
UWSC is formally approved by all the leading
classification societies for carrying out in-water surveys. During the course
of the surveys, the divers are in constant voice communication with
the attending Surveyors/Superintendent. Apart from these surveys, we are regularly
employed by shipowners and marine paint companies to carry out fouling, and paint inspections and also pre-purchase and sale inspections. |

UNDERWATER BLANKING
|
|
|
From time to time, sea valves give trouble
and when it does happen, it is not always convenient to wait until the next
drydocking. It is therefore, essential that sea valves can be opened while
the vessel remains afloat. For this, we use our own specially made to measure
blanks that fit over the sea chests and overboard discharges. When the blanks
are secured in place, this then enables the inboard crew to maintain or
replace the sea valves as necessary. |

|

COFFERDAM INSERT REPAIR

Societies for carrying out insert renewal repairs. |
