Here we go folks, some great pics coming now.
I have failed to get good pics here on this project.
But good news is I have a good collection for other projects in the past, so here we go.
The first pic shows a diver and above him are the 2 x diving bells are depth.
Here a diver is standing on some concrete matresses, which they are currentlly laying on the sea bed as I type.
Now the 3 divers are posing for the photo. The 3rd guy would normally not be in the water, he is the bellman but does act as the recovery diver should something go wrong.
I know the following pics look fake, but these are real I can assure you, I am not that clever with computers.
They are take from when I was on a job in Trinidad about 4 years ago.
What you see here is a gas pipe lying on the sea bed, the task was to alter the set up.
The divers had to raise the pipe up of the sea bed, this is done with left bags, the balloon looking things, they are just filled with air and lift what they are attached to. Behind the lift bags is a temporary cradle with hydraulic lifting hoists in it, such as engine removing equipment in a truck repair place.
This next pic below shows the flange they are working on, the divers had to align the 2 pipes to ensure the flanges align perfectly prior to bolting it closed.
To the left of them is the tool basket which is lowered to the sea bed.
Here is a parts of the hydraulics for the lifting frame. The frame has a large fott print so it wont sink into the sea bed when the weight is on it from the pipe.
Now for the local Barracuda which did laps of the Bells the whole 3 months of the project.
