Each underwater cutting method is covered in detail in Chapter 2 1-3 UNDER WA TER WELDING OVERVIEW The installation of large patches, as well as the attachment of suitable pad-eyes presents a more complicated problem to the diver than does underwater cutting Considerable practice is necessary to achieve a consistently good standard of underwater welding for salvage work As a result, the diver’s underwater. .. make underwater cutting and welding difficult Whenever practical, cutting techniques are preferred over welding during ship salvage operations For example, when wrecking in place is the salvage technique, a chain reeved through two holes cut in the hull and around a transverse frame is the preferred attachment method over a welded padeye Only personnel trained and qualified in underwater cutting and welding. .. requires the use of underwater cutting equipment This chapter presents detailed technical information and procedures to be used while engaged in underwater cutting operations As previously mentioned, there are two methods of underwater cutting currently being used: oxygen-arc and shielded metal-arc cutting Each method is discussed in this chapter 2-1 S0300-BB-MAN-010 2-2 OXYGEN-ARC CUTTING There are...
