Subsea Pipeline Inspection, Installation & Repair

On an annual basis, Divecon routinely completes several hundred miles of subsea external pipeline inspections utilizing in-house owned & operated Remote Operated Vehicles (ROV) as well as diver assisted inspections. These projects are completed in accordance with the Technical Guidelines mandated by the Mineral Management Service (MMS). Divecon’s Diving & ROV Personnel are trained for all tasks in accordance with the Operator Qualification (OQ Rule) as mandated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) Pipeline water depths for projects completed to date range from 40 to 1200 feet. At the completion of each project formal reports are compiled documenting the findings of each inspection.

During our history, Divecon has completed numerous pipeline repairs in different water depths utilizing manned & unmanned diving techniques on the West Coast; offshore California and Central America, as well as in the Gulf of Mexico. Pipelines have ranged in size from 6-inch to 24-inch in diameter. These repairs have been completed using pipeline end connectors and split clamps manufactured by Quality Connectors Systems (QCS), Oil States, PLIDCO and others.
