CORES DIVE , was called out to perform a prop cleaning on a tanker, as well as a video inspection. The problem was the port that the ship was in was a 12 hour drive away. The crew was quickly mobilized and made the trip. The work was performed and the ship was able to proceed on schedule.

 

CORES DIVE , recently completed the installation of shock absorbing fender piles in the Port of Saint John. The work involved the lining up of cross braces and installing them. The problem was the large number of one-inch holes that were required to be drilled. Our fabrication shop came up with a design and built a custom made hydraulic drill press that mounted easily to the steel H beams and allowed for the drilling of the necessary holes. This resulted in substantial timesavings for the general contractor, Atlantic Underground Services of Riverview, N.B. and allowed for a much higher quality finished product.

 

CORES DIVE was awarded the contract to supply and install the "insulating jackets" on 210 of the concrete piles under the terminal at Rodney Terminal in Saint John Harbour N.B. Canada. These jackets help to prevent the freezing and thawing that occurs during the high and low tides experienced by the Bay of Fundy. The result is, that piles that would normally have to be concrete encapsulated in a few years time now last for years and years. This is the second year in a row that Cores Dive has been awarded the supply and install contract


CORES DIVE - was called out by a local ferry company to perform a hull cleaning and prop polishing.
A crew with equipment was mobilized and was able to complete the two tasks in one night, while the ship was not running her route. This meant no down time at all for the ferry and the end result is a substantial fuel savings.
