July, 2005 - October, 2005 Diving Services at the San Elijo Ocean Outfall Cardiff-by-the-Sea, CA
C&W completed pre-construction survey of the San Elijo Water Treatment Plant outfall pipe, which runs on the ocean floor for about 8,000' away from the shore. After it was determined that existing zinc anodes
attached to the pipe were extremely deteriorated, C&W replaced them with new ones at eight separate stations underwater. C&W performed the tasks of an independent underwater inspector for Kennedy / Jenks during the full course of pipe reballasting work in the fall of 2005.

June and August 2005 Diving Services at Green Mountain Dam and Powerplant - Phases I & II Kremmling, CO
In June, 2005 C&W mobilized on-site and set up a marine work platform from which hoisting and dive operations were conducted. C&W utilized its ROV to verify positioning and preliminary inspection of a 21' diameter, 52,000 lb. bulkhead gate and related components.
Divers cleaned and inspected affected vent lines on the bulkhead gate and determined that no repairs were necessary. Air dives to depths of 140' at an altitude of 8000' were performed. The bulkhead gate sealing surfaces were also cleaned and inspected. The bulkhead gate was removed
from the stored position and lowered onto the vertical shaft. C&W returned in August 2005 to raise the bulkhead back into the storage position after all interior repairs were complete. C&W will return in 2006 for phase III of this project.
