UNDERWATER CRACK INSPECTION IN LOME

Cracks in underwater steel structures can require prompt investigation, particularly when discovered following impact, grounding or corrosion. Our underwater crack inspection service in Lome provides diving support for vessels requiring visual assessment of submerged structures.

Divers can inspect accessible hull plates, rudders, sea chests, pipe sections and other underwater steel components for visible cracks and associated damage.

Crack inspection can be useful after suspected contact with a berth, submerged object or seabed. It can also be arranged when corrosion or structural deterioration has been identified during previous inspections.

The affected area is cleaned where necessary to improve visibility and allow a more accurate visual assessment. Underwater photographs and video can be used to document the observed condition.

Where a crack is confirmed, additional underwater repair options such as welding may be considered depending on the location, material and technical requirements.

Our service can also be combined with hull survey, underwater welding and structural inspection during the same port call.

For vessels calling at Lome Port, underwater crack inspection provides a practical first step toward understanding the condition of a submerged structural defect and determining the appropriate next stage of repair.
