Frequently Asked Questions — Washington, DC
How are marine construction and commercial diving projects priced?
Commercial diving work is quoted as a crew/spread day rate plus a separate mobilisation charge; marine construction (seawalls, bulkheads, piles, docks) is usually unit-priced per linear foot or per pile. Inspection work is often quoted per structure or per substructure unit. The mobilisation line explains most large gaps between bids, since a small remote job carries the same travel and setup cost as a larger one near Washington, DC.
Do you service my area, and what goes into mobilisation?
Most marine contractors cover the region within a day's drive of their base, so a job near Washington, DC is typically serviceable, but the cost of moving the dive spread and support vessel is itemised separately. Mobilisation covers crew travel, trucking, fuel, and setup/breakdown; it is not a markup. Ask for a mobilisation quote in writing so you can compare bids fairly.
Should I have the work done in-water or with a haul-out?
In-water work avoids dry-docking costs and keeps your facility operational, but visibility, current, and cold water may limit what can be done. Haul-out gives the crew access to the full surface area and makes welding or concrete repairs easier, but dry-dock charges and downtime add up fast. The right choice depends on the structure, the repair scope, and whether an in-water survey can meet the inspection objective; a commercial dive team will lay out both options with a standby diver on watch either way.
How far ahead should I schedule, and who handles permits?
Scheduling depends on weather windows and the contractor's backlog; in colder regions like DC, most in-water work is booked in the open-water season, so plan well ahead. The contractor typically coordinates Coast Guard, Army Corps of Engineers, and local waterfront permits, but the owner remains responsible for providing the legal access and easements. Ask what permit steps the contractor will manage, because some agencies require a review period that can take weeks to months and that sets your start date.
