Frequently Asked Questions — Elmwood Park, NJ
Why is mobilisation a separate line item, and how does it affect my total bid?
Commercial diving is quoted as a crew/spread day rate plus a separate mobilisation charge. Mobilisation covers moving the dive trailer, equipment, and personnel to your Elmwood Park, NJ site, plus setup and demobilisation. That line is often the biggest reason two bids for the same tank differ—a local shop may have minimal mobilisation while a farther one adds several transit days. Ask for the mobilisation breakdown up front.
What scheduling and permit considerations should I plan for before an inspection?
Tank entry for commercial diving typically requires confined space entry permits, and the owner must coordinate shutdown, isolation, and any disinfection per AWWA C652 before returning to service. The dive team works under OSHA 29 CFR 1910 Subpart T and will need site-specific safety procedures. In many municipalities, permits and scheduling can take weeks, so align the inspection with your operational cycle.
How does pricing work for a potable water tank inspection?
Most commercial dive firms price a potable water tank inspection as a per-structure lump sum or per-substructure unit, based on the crew and equipment spread required. The crew day rate covers divers, surface tenders, supervisor, and equipment, and mobilisation is separate. For larger marine work, pricing may be unit-based (per linear foot or per pile), but tank inspections are usually simpler. Always request a detailed quote that separates dive days, mobilisation, and any disinfection or reporting fees.
Should I drain the tank for inspection, or can the dive team work in-service?
In-water inspection lets you keep the tank in service, saving downtime and avoiding the cost of draining and refilling, but it introduces potable-water-specific precautions. The dive team must use materials that meet NSF/ANSI 61, and the operation must follow strict sanitation protocols. Draining the tank allows a more thorough physical inspection and easier access, but it takes the tank offline and may require the same dive team to work in a confined space. A qualified operator can assess which approach fits your inspection cycle.
