Frequently Asked Questions — Woodhaven, MI
Your service area includes Woodhaven, MI – how does mobilisation actually affect my survey pricing?
Mobilisation is the cost of getting the dive team, equipment, and support vessel to your location, and it is quoted separately from the daily crew/spread rate. It generally covers travel, setup, and sometimes permit or coordination time, so two bids can look very different even when the daily rates are similar. A survey in Woodhaven may also require a longer river or coastline transit, which directly increases that line item.
How far ahead do you need to schedule a survey and what permits or approvals should I have ready?
Scheduling depends on tide, weather, and facility availability; we typically need enough lead time to plan around those windows and to assemble a compliant dive team per OSHA 29 CFR 1910 Subpart T. If the work is in navigable waters under Corps jurisdiction, a USACE permit or approval may be required, and the owner is responsible for providing access and any operational isolation. Always ask whether your site needs isolated intake or discharge lines before we mobilise.
What will the survey report include and how soon after the dive will I have it?
A standard condition or damage survey report includes a narrative of findings, digital photos, dimensional measurements, and a clear recommendation with reference to applicable standards such as 46 CFR 71.50-3 for an in-water hull exam. Preliminary findings are usually provided by phone or email immediately after the dive, with the full report delivered as a searchable PDF within a few business days. If the report is needed for an insurance claim, ask whether it includes a chain-of-custody log for any samples.
Can you do a full survey while the vessel stays in the water, or should I plan a haul-out?
In-water surveys are a proven alternative to dry-docking for many hull exams, but the trade-off is that underwater visibility, hull cleanliness, and the area above the waterline are not fully inspected. A hauled survey allows the dry-dock side and exterior to be examined directly, but it costs more and may be unnecessary if the underwater portion is well-documented with video and thickness gauging. We will recommend the minimum necessary to answer your insurer’s or buyer’s question without over-spending on haul-out fees.
