HYDRO POWER PLANTS & DAMS

HYDRO POWER PLANTS & DAMS

As the name suggests, 'Hydro' underwater diving services are essential for hydroelectric power plants and dams, often contracted for specialized tasks. Penstocks in hydroelectric installations are typically equipped with gate systems and surge tanks, with water flow regulated by turbine operations. When turbines are inactive, water flow is stopped entirely. Maintenance tasks in these environments include underwater inspections, surveys, repairs, manual cleaning, de-silting, and desiccation.

Underwater diving at hydro power plants and dams involves significant risk, as divers often need to inspect and repair outfalls, which may require penetrations ranging from 10 meters to over 500 meters. These operations demand stringent safety protocols and specialized equipment to ensure diver safety while delivering high-quality results.
