We now have a wetbell, which offers maximum safety and enables us to work quickly.
We operate a wet diving bell to ensure diving safety and efficient work at great depths. This state-of-the-art system is stationed on a pontoon and monitors all diving operations, including breathing gas changes, from the surface.
The Wetbell system is built in accordance with international diving regulations and is operated in accordance with SUVA regulations. All important system components are redundant. In particular, these are the cable winches for raising and lowering the system, the hydraulic circuits, the hot water heaters and the breathing gas systems. Three powerful 60kVA generators are used for the power requirements.
The wet diving bell is used exclusively in combination with our decompression chamber. This life-saving emergency system guarantees first aid in the event of a diving accident. All our divers are regularly trained in the use of the decompression chamber. At the same time, a strong rescue concept with on-call diving doctors, ambulances and helicopters is in place for such deep dives.
Functional concept
The divers equip themselves in the changing room for the upcoming dive. They then enter the wetbell, which at this point is firmly positioned on the pontoon. The breathing gas system is connected to the
Diving helmet and the hot water heater are connected to the diving suit. All system components are checked. A swivel arm then moves the diving bell over the edge of the pontoon into the water. The Wetbell dives to the desired working depth. The divers leave the diving bell and carry out the work to be done under high time pressure. Once the depth-dependent diving time has been reached, the divers climb back into the wetbell and return to the surface.
