Waters Marine is a family owned, marine construction company, with a keen focus on underwater construction.

Established in 1996 by Jody Waters, the business concentrated on two key areas, government and film industry needs. Jody wanted to provide a high quality service, with a commitment to compliance with Australian and State regulations.

Projects undertaken by Waters Marine in-volve local councils, water authorities, ma-rine parks, construction companies, and engineering companies. With offices and workshop on the Gold Coast, we are close to the coast, but able to travel anywhere along the East Coast of Australia. We have contracted from Melbourne in Victoria, to Rockhampton in Queensland.

Our services since 1996 have included underwater tasks including cutting, weld-ing, concrete core drilling, pipe inspec-tions, pipe cleaning, salvage, mooring in-stallation, reservoir cleaning, reservoir in-

spections, reservoir maintenance, dredg-ing and airlifting, installation of concrete boat ramp panels, concrete and steel pile maintenance and removal, ship inspec-tions and maintenance, water safety tasks, film animatronics, and film special effects.

We value the commitment of our staff, and keep a team of full time divers available for diving work, as well as casual divers when required. We offer our divers training to ensure the skill set required for our work, is always maintained, including ADAS div-ing and supervisor, confined space, work-ing at heights, first aid, vessel manage-ment, rigging and dogging, and others where required.

Our vessels range from inshore E survey boats and barges to offshore C survey boats. We have four wheel drive vehicles and trailers to access any location.

COMPANY PROFILE



Our mission is to provide underwater services for the marine industry and government departments, with modern approaches so as to find superior solutions to clients needs, offering safer and more cost effective alternatives.

REGULAR PROJECTS

Reservoir Cleaning - Since1996 - Various Councils from Melbourne to Mackay

Waters Marine has extensive experience in cleaning, inspecting and maintaining hundreds of reservoirs. These range from small 30 metre high elevated towers, to larger reservoirs up to 10,000m2 floor area and 138 metres long. Due to our method of cleaning we are not limited to any maximum size. We provide an experienced team of commercially trained divers, with confined space training to carry out the following operations in today's current climate of drought and water restrictions, the process of inspecting, cleaning and maintain-ing reservoirs can all be conducted while the reservoir remains full, thus preventing the waste of water.

• Reservoir can remain online providing minimal downtime and minimal water loss.

• Various vacuums specifically designed for the purpose of cleaning a range of reservoirs and types of sediments.

• Divers wear full face masks and dry suits to prevent any contamination of potable water.

• Equipment used in reservoirs is stored in our custom designed trailer and dedicated to reservoir use only.

• During cleaning, divers look for signs of leaks or abnormalities.

• Upon completion, a comprehensive written report, including photos of faults, is provided in the following formats – (Hard Copy, CD or PDF File)

• After cleaning, the reservoir floor is clean of silt and sediment.

• Sediment removed from the reservoir can be pumped to client designated areas, includ-ing sewer, ponds or tankers.



Underwater Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) - Since 2010

The term ROV means Remotely Operated Vehicle. ROV’s are popularly used for underwa-ter projects, where they are tethered to the surface, and controlled by a ROV pilot. ROV’s are particularly useful because they have far deeper depth capabilities, where divers may have limited bottom times, ability to enter dangerous and small spaces or contaminated water, and very good quality video.

Waters Marine has been using a Video Ray Pro 4 unit since2010, to inspect pipes, water tanks and other structures in dams and rivers throughout Queensland and New South Wales. We can provide a DVD of the inspection as soon as the inspection is complete for the client’s records. Waters Marine’s ROV can reach depths of 300 metres. It has two high quality video cam-eras with still capability, adjustable lighting, two forward thrusters and one depth thruster. A manipulator arm at the front of the ROV can hold small items when found on the sea bed, or attach tools such as probes and metal thickness gauges. Sonar can also be fitted for low visibility water.



Contamination Diving - Since 2005

Diving in contaminated environments requires protection for the diver from harmful sub-stances.

Contaminated diving requires the use of fully enclosed suits and helmets. Waters Marine has contracted to councils and abattoirs for work in sewer treatment plants, river outfalls, ocean outfalls and aeration ponds. We have provided the following services.

• Inspections and repairs of rising mains and pipes

• Plugging pipes for valve isolation

• Recovery of paddles, scrapers, pumps, and pipes

• Repairs or modification to plants

• Fitting new pump brackets in tanks

• Changing broken cables or chains on pumps

• Removing accumulated sediment in water storage tanks

• Leak detection for recycled water storages
