Utilizing our expert potable dive crew is a cost-effective alternative to draining the reservoir and possible water service disruption. Using a three-inch trash pump and suction line, we can clean and remove unwanted material with little or no disturbance to the reservoir or its PH and turbidity levels. 

Top Hat Cap Installation

This allows the contractor to tie into existing water facilities without having to drain them. Our dive crew will anchor these caps into the reservoir wall. Once attached, a hole can be cored or drilled behind the cap. A line, valve and link seal are then installed. Once the link seal is tightened, the diver can remove the cap completing this “live” tie in.

Additionally, it’s crucial to document and keep records of all inspections and maintenance activities to demonstrate compliance with regulations and ensure transparency in the management of water resources. Regular assessment of the reservoir’s condition and water quality is essential to make informed decisions about when maintenance is needed.
