Quest Underwater Services

Risk assessment of underwater cutting and demolition tasks shows that the safest and cheapest method is for a professionally calculated charge to be positioned and blown remotely. This technique is especially valid when cutting piles and bridge supports. Instead of a costly crane being employed for hours to support the weight whilst a diver working in difficult and dangerous conditions cuts around the circumference using up expensive oxygen and ultra-thermic cutting rods, it can be cut from a safe distance with one charge. The amount of explosives can be so small that fish are not killed and anyone off site is unaware that a charge has gone off.

These techniques can be used both above and below water.

Quest has the necessary expertise, licences, permits and insurance for this work.
