When marine assets are lost or vessels are grounded along the Gulf Coast, a rapid professional response is critical. UESI is a leading commercial diving, civil marine contractor, and specialty engineering company providing turnkey underwater salvage solutions. Our core values of Safety, Customer Service, Quality and Innovation guide every project, ensuring your assets are recovered efficiently and with the utmost care. We offer a wide range of services uniquely applicable to the needs of customers from heavy marine construction companies to nuclear power plant operators.

Our Approach to Underwater Salvage Solutions

Effective salvage operations require a combination of advanced technology, specialized equipment and highly skilled personnel. The specific approach depends on the vessel’s condition, size, and location, but our methodology is always rooted in precision and safety. We begin with a thorough underwater inspection to assess the situation and develop the most effective salvage plan. This ensures we provide the best submerged asset recovery services possible for every unique scenario. Our team is equipped to handle everything from raising sunken vessels with lift bags to removing obstructive debris and sediment with jetting or dredging.

Specialized Marine Equipment Retrieval

Recovering submerged assets involves more than just lifting. Our services are designed to address every aspect of the challenge. For vessels with hull damage, we perform intricate underwater repairs using cofferdams to create a dry work environment or apply temporary patches for immediate flotation. 

In situations where our underwater salvage solutions require environmental protection, we meticulously contain and pump out contaminants like fuel, preventing damage to the Gulf Coast’s delicate marine ecosystem. This commitment to environmental conservation is a cornerstone of our operations, making us a trusted partner for wreck removal that clears navigation channels and protects aquatic life.
