Underwater Concrete Placement Services
Hibbard inshore has the capability to monitor and control accurate concrete pours and placement in underwater locations. In addition to directing the equipment, Hibbard Inshore’s vehicles can also use sonar to monitor the pour in real-time to accurately signal to the operator when to cut off flow at the surface. This can be performed in areas where low visibility, deep water or restricted access make it difficult for the pours to be monitored by commercial dive teams. Using sonar, Hibbard Inshore can direct the operators on the surface and provide information on the pour elevation and grade to allow stakeholders to determine that specifications are met.
ROV Controlled Dredging Services
Hibbard Inshore understands that dredging and debris removal in low visibility or deep water can be challenging and at times, unsafe for commercial dive teams. Often, there are buildups of debris or sediment in places such as power plant intake tunnels, pump intakes or rock traps that need to be cleaned but are confined in nature. Through the use of ROVs, specialized pumping equipment and multiple forms of sonar, Hibbard Inshore is able to monitor and control the dredging, jetting, and debris removal processes in some of the most difficult areas. Often times, the vehicles and methods used by Hibbard Inshore will allow adjacent generating units or pumps to remain in service while only the unit where the Hibbard team is actively cleaning will require outage.
