Dredging

Dredging promotes efficiency as much as a well-functioning terminal does. Brennan can provide both mechanical and hydraulic dredging options that will maintain the needed depths for efficient navigation. From mass removal to surgical dredging, we have the ability to right-size our operation for your project needs. This includes projects that may involve rapid dewatering and disposal in offsite locations.

Underwater Inspections & Survey

We can provide several choices to help you understand the conditions of your structure below the waterline. These options include high quality dive inspections with experienced certified commercial divers, underwater acoustic imaging, and high-resolution multi-beam hydrographic surveys. Each one uses the latest technologies to collect data and create the detailed information that you need to monitor your structures.

Underwater Construction

Brennan divers can place concrete, weld, cut, grout, dredge, and accomplish whatever else may be required to keep your structure in good condition. Using divers will eliminate the added cost of an expensive cofferdam structure, and can often truncate the project schedule. Our divers specialize in zero-visibility conditions and use state-of-the-art equipment to carry out quality repairs safely.
