Description
MATPOL specialises in underwater works such inspections of the technical condition of underwater parts of bridges, weirs, breakwaters, etc.; repairs to ship hulls; repairs in sewage treatment plant reactors, surveys of seabed structures, and underwater welding. We are internationally certified to carry out periodic inspections of ships. Recently, we have expanded our business to include the service of bathymetric surveys and other hydrographic work using rented and leased mid-range equipment. The project will allow us to improve these services and conduct them on our own modern equipment with high sensitivity and resolution. A multibeam probe head, along with sensors, will be used for bottom and depth surveys. The side-scanning marine sonar providing images with the best resolution available, will enable bathymetric and hydrographic surveys at the highest standards, precise diver monitoring and vertical surveys of wharves. In addition, we will purchase a boat which may fit small bays and an autonomous surface vehicle for conducting surveys in tight marinas or very small bodies of water. Both units will be additionally equipped with electric motors to reduce the environmental impact of exhaust fumes and noise.
MATPOL will then be able to carry out work regardless of visibility or currents in the water. This will allow for continuity of work on given orders and the development of detailed data that will speed up the work performed by the diver underwater. We will also be able to offer customers the results of our work presented in digital and graphic form (e.g., images of the technical condition of underwater port structures before and after the work was carried out), which will let the customer better understand what the process itself looked like. Our improved services will be primarily delivered to managers and owners of water reservoirs. In the Baltic region, these are usually large companies responsible for the maintenance of waterways, and port managers.
