underwater excavation

Underwater excavation involves removing soil, sediment, or debris from beneath water bodies like lakes, rivers, or seas. This process is essential for construction projects such as bridges, ports, or tunnels. It typically uses specialized equipment like submerged excavators, dredgers, or pumps that operate underwater, either remotely or with divers. The goal is to create a stable foundation or clear the area for infrastructure development. Safety, environmental protection, and precision are key considerations, as the process must minimize disruption to aquatic ecosystems while ensuring the stability and integrity of the construction site.
