Submersible welding
Submersible welding is a specialized welding process performed underwater using a welding apparatus that is fully submerged and operated remotely or by a diver within a waterproof enclosure. It allows welds to be made on structures such as ships, oil rigs, or pipelines beneath the water surface. The process uses electric arcs and protective gases to create strong, durable welds despite the challenging underwater conditions. This technique is essential for repairs and construction in marine environments, ensuring structural integrity while minimizing risk and environmental impact.
