Inland River Systems
Dive services on the Lower Mississippi River
The lower Mississippi is the backbone of the U.S. inland barge system, moving enormous tonnage through strong current and heavy sediment. Underwater work here is unforgiving, and it is where careful tending and topside control earn their keep.
Our crews work the river for barge lines, fleeting operations, and riverfront facilities, clearing wrapped running gear, inspecting hulls and structures, replacing anodes, and responding to emergencies day or night.
