Our Process

The Underwater Dredging & Exploratory Diving Process

Our professional team of expert divers operate the hose similarly to a vacuum cleaner, using it to extract sediment or unwanted materials. Suction dredging is particularly useful for selectively removing invasive plant species and for clearing sediment buildup in smaller areas, such as around intake systems and underwater pumps.

Benefits

Benefits of Underwater Dredging & Exploratory Diving

Sediment can quickly accumulate in bays, harbors, and at river and stream mouths where they merge with larger bodies of water, potentially leading to flooding, navigation challenges, and water quality concerns. Underwater Dredging is a widely used method for removing or reducing accumulated sediment buildup in both freshwater and saltwater environments.

Exploratory dives are tailored to the unique requirements of each job and location, ensuring a customized approach for every project. APS’s diving services emphasize safety and environmental responsibility. Whether for routine inspections, emergency assessments, or pre-construction evaluations, exploratory diving services play a vital role in maintaining the longevity and reliability of underwater infrastructure.
