Services Provided: Whiskey Island Marina salvage and break wall recovery

ES-Divers has worked with the City of Cleveland, Ohio and its marinas in many different capacities over the years.  ES-Divers was tasked with recovering the steel break wall after its moorings broke.  Its location was mapped and all shackles and mooring chains where located and salvaged.  The entire break wall was then brought back to shore for crane recovery.  Additionally, ES-Divers has been involved with both small- and large-scale boat salvage operations ranging from simple crane recovery to complex lift bag flotation, pump out, and towing.

Westview Water Authority

Project Numbers: 6207, 5983, 7460

Services Provided:  Sluice gate and stem guide inspection and repair; clarifier wheel replacement

ES-Divers inspected all portions of the sluice gate, stem, guides, and operator visually and with live feed in water video to allow both ES top side dive supervisor and client maintenance personnel to determine why the gate would not open fully.  It was found that two of the stem guides had failed and allowed one section of stem to become bent.  The damaged stem guides where replaced and the bent section of stem was removed and replaced. 

ES-Divers also regularly replaces worn or out of date wheels and casters on clarifier pool arms, saving the client from unnecessary and costly down time associated with draining the pool.

Washington Pennsylvania

Project Numbers: 3884, 5672

Services Provided: Cross Creek Dam bypass valve and main gate replacement

ES-Divers was tasked with replacing the original gate at Cross Creek Dam as it could no longer be adjusted to acceptable leak by standards.  A custom cofferdam for the intake was fabricated and installed by ES-Divers.  After sealing and dewatering, the existing gate was disassembled and removed from the bottom of the 75’ deep riser.  After lowering the new style gate into place with a custom-built winch system, ES-Divers installed the new gate and had it inspected by an engineer from the manufacturer company.  Finally, a new mid water bypass valve was installed and a custom stem and guide system was fabricated and installed by ES-Divers.
