CONTAMINATED DIVING
 
East West Dive and Salvage considers contaminated diving to be one of its specialties. We are able to mobilize at short notice to complete works in contaminated environments such as Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTP), Sewage Treatment plants (STP), Polluted waters, or water with questionable quality/contaminates. We would usually have at least one dive team working somewhere in Australia on any given day.
We offer a complete service to conduct works in contaminated environments to strict AS/NZS Standards 2299.1 2009, using Kirby Morgan Superlights and full contamination suits.  All equipment is tested in clean water prior to use and disinfected to strict standards on job completion. 

Contaminated Diving, often dubbed 'Poo Diving' enables us to conduct works in areas that would otherwise required timely isolations, emptying, cleaning and disinfecting. This is a costly, impractical if not impossible approach to works.
Divers are able to enter these environments and complete a multitude of tasks including:
  •  Search and Recovery Dives
  •  Repairs and maintenance to mixers, aerators, diffusers, gates and other TP facilities
  •  Installation and replacement of equipment
  •  Inspections of areas with 'Zero Visibility' that cannot be viewed using ROV's
  •  Measurements and surveys
  •  Airlifting and dredging



Services offered as a part of our contaminated diving service include
  •  All Pre-start safety documentation
  •  Engineering and fabrication
  •  Diving or wet works with specialized equipment to ensure zero contact with contaminants
  •  Confined space certifications
  •  Boating with certified coxswains and surveyed vessels on contaminated waters
  •  Full decontamination of equipment and site
