Underwater propeller polishing and maintaining smooth propeller surfaces are now fully appreciated, but propellers do foul up and for this we use our multigrade non abrasive polishing system. This system can polish blades' surface down to and better than one micron C.L.A. which equates to a Rupert 'A' on the Rupert Comparator. | |

| 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 communication with the attending Surveyors/Superintendent. Apart from these surveys, we are regularly employed by shipowners and marine paint companies to carry out fouling, paint, pre-purchase and sale inspections. |  |

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. | |
