Underwater Intervention 2008 Expo
Wow..this is right up old Kevin’s alley, by accident we stumbled upon the Underwater Intervention 2008 website and the amazement in this technology really intriqued our little mississippi map. Taking place in New Orleans, January 29-31st, at the Morial Convention Center.
I honestly have to say, I never even realized there was such a convention. Kevin got a bit of an education in welding when he investigated the FABTech trade show coming to McCormick Place later this year. Can you imagine welding structures underwater? This is the job of what they call a commercial diver, getting paid to work underwater. (No Kevin - we are not increasing your exhibit house salary)
ROV’s = Remotely Operated Vehicles, are used for various tasks for diving contractors as well as some various programs that have gone on in the past. EPA funded project for the environmental education, what a great opportunity for those wishing to be in this field.
The conference will cover many topics, concrete rehabilitation, marine construction, workshops and discussions. Commercial divers have to work in a variety of conditions, not only in water that is drinkable, but wastewater as well.
