Aqua Underwater Engineering is a specialized maritime service provider headquartered in Navi Mumbai, India, dedicated to delivering comprehensive commercial diving and subsea engineering solutions. Operating within the dynamic Indian maritime sector, the company functions as a critical support entity for the shipping, offshore, and civil marine infrastructure industries. Its primary identity is that of a technical diving contractor, deploying skilled personnel and specialized equipment to execute complex tasks beneath the water's surface, eliminating the need for vessels or structures to be dry-docked or dewatered for maintenance.
A central pillar of the company’s operations is underwater ship husbandry, specifically hull cleaning and propeller polishing. Recognizing the impact of biofouling on vessel performance, Aqua Under Water Engineering provides services designed to remove marine growth from ship bottoms, vertical sides, sea chests, and gratings. By utilizing hydraulic cleaning machines and diver-operated tools, the firm helps ship operators restore hydrodynamic efficiency, thereby reducing fuel consumption and operational costs. This service extends to propeller polishing, a precision task that further enhances vessel speed and efficiency.
Beyond cleaning, the organization is deeply involved in underwater inspection and surveying. It conducts detailed assessments of submerged structures, offering services such as underwater photography and videography to document the condition of hulls, welding seams, and appendages. These inspections are essential for classification society surveys, sale and purchase assessments, and damage evaluation. The company’s capabilities allow for the detection of corrosion, cracks, or structural anomalies in challenging visibility conditions.
The company’s engineering competencies extend to heavy-duty underwater construction and repair. This includes underwater cutting and welding operations using thermal lance techniques, often required for salvage projects or the removal of entangled debris. Furthermore, Aqua Underwater Engineering supports civil infrastructure projects, offering services such as underwater concreting, grouting, and pipeline installation. Its teams assist in the maintenance of dams, bridges, and power plant water intake systems, performing dredging and desilting works to ensure unobstructed water flow. By integrating diving expertise with engineering discipline, the company serves a diverse client base ranging from international shipping lines to port authorities and industrial construction firms across India’s coastal regions.
