In marine engineering, divers are often required to perform a variety of tasks, including salvaging items that have sunk to the bottom of the sea. This article will cover how divers salvage cars, especially when cutting underwater using sheet piles.
1. Preparations.
Divers need to be well prepared before performing a salvage mission. First, they need to know the type, size, weight, and specific location of the car to sink to the bottom of the sea. In addition, they need to have a comprehensive understanding of the topography, water depth, currents, and other conditions of the seabed.
In preparation, divers also need to check the required equipment and tools, including sheet piles, cutting equipment, wetsuits, communication equipment, etc. Make sure that these devices and tools are working properly and that there are no issues during the execution of the task.
2. Perform tasks.
When performing salvage tasks, divers need to first locate the location of the car. They can determine the location of the car through sonar scans or manual searches by divers. Once they found the car, they needed to insert the steel sheet piles into the seabed and secure the car to it.
The diver then needs to use a cutting device to cut the car into small pieces. In the process, they need to be very careful to avoid damaging other parts of the car. Once the cutting is complete, the diver needs to slowly lift the cut small piece of the car to the surface.
3. Follow-up work.
After the salvage mission is completed, divers need to clean up the site and ensure that all equipment and tools are brought back to shore. They also need to perform a detailed inspection of the small pieces of the car that have been cut out to determine if there are other problems. If there are problems, they need to report them to the appropriate personnel so that they can be dealt with in a timely manner.
In conclusion, the salvage of a car by a diver is a very difficult task, especially if it is cut underwater using sheet piles. When performing this task, divers need to be well prepared and strictly follow operating procedures and safety regulations. Only in this way can they ensure the successful completion of their tasks and their own safety.
