THE MARINE TECHNOLOGY REPORTER 100Global Diving & Salvage, Inc. was founded in 1979 as a full-service marine contractor in Seattle, WA. At the time of its founding, it was envisioned that the scope of operations would extend only to ship husbandry, under- water construction, salvage, and marine oil spill cleanup. Global has grown from the original owner/operator company to a major marine-service provider in the civil engineering, and energy, markets. Globals corporate office remains in Seattle, WA, but four regional offices in Anchorage, AK, Rio Vista, CA, Richmond, CA, and Houston, TX support both domestic and international operations. In-house operations can provide project man- agement, technical, and engineering support in additional to the day-to-day operations for a myriad of projects. Global has experience in all forms of diving, ranging from surface air/mixed gas to saturation diving operations. In addition to standard diving equipment, the company owns and operates four saturation diving systems as well as a variety remotely operated vehicles. Global also performs 24 hr on-call preven- tative booming operations and can maintain a standby labor pool of 230 vessel operators and deckhands in support of MSRC, Marine Spill Response Corporation, during spill events. Technology Profile:Global recently purchased a SAAB Cougar XT ROV as well as Mesotch 1000 and BlueView sonars. All of the companys dive stations and systems are regularly inspected and tested according to industry requirements.
