Submarine Work

Submarine Work

 

construction work conducted underwater when building slipways and berths and laying pipelines or performing other similar operations.

Most submarine work operations are carried out directly by divers. They inspect and clear the bottom, take soil samples, do drilling and blasting work, assemble structures, and do underwater welding and cutting. Diving equipment for submarine work is located in the divers’ work stations on the shore, on the ice, or on special vessels, such as diving boats, barges, or dredges.
