Gilbert Diving - Core sampling & Pipelines

Core Sampling
We do core samples of all types on bridges & structures usually to assist engineers, councils, government departments with their analysis on the bridges & structures integrity. This activity ties in with our bridge inspection and reporting and the need for engineer’s expertise is often discovered during inspections.

We also do bottom sampling and surveys of river beds, sea beds, creek beds & dam beds to test for different bottom types, underwater terrain for pre construction analysis as part of environmental surveys and management.

Water sampling at different depths is sometimes required by government authorities around intakes, discharge pipes & diffusers.

Pipelines
Pipeline inspection is a common service we provide to determine possible leakages of fluids such as sewage into the main waterways or ocean which can be an environmental disaster affecting oyster farms, seagrass, all underwater creatures and the public using the waterways.

We carry out burial of pipelines across rivers & creeks with periodical inspections and maintenance.
