FAQs
Our Contaminated Water Work
MDS has the capability and experience to dive in all types of liquid environments and gas spaces. Often we are called on to dive in sewerage plants and mine tailing dams. For this work we have our own internal procedure which complies with the US Navy Contaminated Water Diving Code of Practice. Some of the specialist tasks we have performed in contaminated water are: - Construction of double isolation barriers in the live flow - Removal and replacement of penstocks - Recovery of agitator
Broco Cutting
MDS have many years of experience in cutting all types of steel and non-ferrous metals underwater. We maintain two 50m long Broco set ups ready for immediate use. Our most challenging Broco job to date has been the connection of the North Head STP hydro-generating pipeline into the noose outfall tunnel. This required us to cut a 2.5m diameter oval shaped hole into the main sewerage pipeline for the northern half of Sydney. The cut was made through 1 inch steel.
Potable Water Work
MDS maintain two full sets of âœcleanâ dive gear. By clean we mean, the gear has only ever been used in potable water. Our clients can be assured that if MDS dives in a drinking water reservoir that there will be no contamination introduced to the water supply. Examples of potable water work include: -Installation of chlorination dosing points in reservoirs -Replacement of agitator pumps in reservoirs -Dredging of silt from reservoirs -Installation of valves and gauging systems
ROV Operations
MDS owns and operated an Ocean Modules V4 ROV. This is an inspection class ROV which can be rapidly deployed for inspections of assets where diver intervention is not required or the situation presents dangers that we do not wish to expose the diver to. It is especially suited for inspection of intake and outlet pipelines, live reservoirs and hazardous environments such as collapsed structures and shipwrecks.
