Penetration Diving

Allen Marine has vast experience with penetration diving and tunnel inspections, up to 1100 feet. Longer ranges can be accomplished through our ROV inspections.

Water Intake Pipes

Allen Marine provides installation, repairs, and maintenance of water intake pipes. Other services of water intake pipes include zebra mussel control feed lines, intake screens and cribs. See Photos.

Water Intake Structures

Zebra mussels adhere to intake structures and multiply to the point where they close off the openings between the gratings. This may result in extensive and/or possible complete loss of water flow through the intake pipe . AMS provides zebra mussel removal from water intake structures via high-pressure water blasting, hand scraping, and vacuuming. See Photos.

Trash Racks

Hydrothane trash racks are widely used in cold weather regions throughout the United States. Frazzle or anchor ice adhering to conventional steel racks were eliminated with the use of non-metallic racks. These racks also deter Zebra mussel growth. See Photos.

Traveling Water Screens

Over time, your traveling water screen may collect large quantities of zebra mussels or debris which can lessen work capacitation. AMS rebuilds, repairs, and services traveling water screens to insure that they are working at maximum capacity. See Photos.

Sediment Removal

AMS designs and constructs sediment containment basins to house sediment debris. Divers utilize submersible hydraulic pumps and hoses to vacuum sediments. See Photos.

We can meet your needs for bridge diving inspections with experienced, NBIS certified diving personnel and state-of-the-art diving equipment. Since 1987, AMS has inspected over three hundred bridges throughout New York State for the Department of Transportation.

Inspection services include color video documentation with real-time monitoring of the entire substructure for each bridge. Still Photography, using a 35mm camera, can be made of any located defects. See Photos.
