Creating Dry Space

Home » Creating Dry Space

Sleipnir Offshore offers advanced solutions for creating dry, open-air working environments underwater through the use of habitats and cofferdams. This specialized service allows for complex and sensitive subsea work to be performed with the precision and quality of a dry-dock environment.

With extensive experience in the design, fabrication, deployment, and operation of these structures, we provide tailored solutions for a wide range of marine and offshore projects. Our expert engineering team can either modify our existing habitats to fit specific client requirements or design and build custom habitats from scratch if necessary.

Our cost-effective cofferdam solutions are used to create a safe and controlled workspace, where water depth and conditions allow. This method is ideal for executing critical subsea tasks that are not feasible with standard diving techniques, including:

  • Underwater Welding: Performing high-quality welds on structural components.
  • Repairs: Mending sheet pile walls, locks, and gates with greater accuracy.
  • Inspections: Conducting detailed visual and non-destructive inspections in a clear environment.
  • Cleaning and Clearing: Maintaining and servicing tunnel boring machine heads.
  • Concreting: Applying and curing concrete in a stable, water-free setting.

By providing a dry, protected space, Sleipnir Offshore enables the highest standards of workmanship for essential underwater repairs and maintenance, ensuring the longevity and integrity of marine and offshore structures.
