Services: Underwater Inspections

Pickering Corts & Summerson, Inc. provides underwater inspection services to state, local, and private agencies. Our divers and engineers conduct the visual and hands-on inspection of the underwater portions of a bridge or other structure and document their findings in a technical report. Our dive teams utilize hardhat diving with constant communication, several underwater color cameras, video cameras, and our newly acquired high resolution Sonar Imaging System. All of our divers are certified bridge inspectors, adding to their ability to identify areas of concern. Each substructure element is individually assessed for existing and for potential scour conditions in addition to the inspection for the physical condition of the units. PC&S has designed underpinning repairs for bridge substructures along with routinely providing specifications and estimates for underwater repairs and rehabilitation of substructure elements.
