New welding Tank Arrives !

















July 10, 2009

Friday morning was an exciting one with the delivery of a 10" X 16" steel tank that will be fabricated into a 9300 gallon wet welding tank.
With this newest addition, wet welding exercises can be performed at any time without interference with other activities in the other wet tank facilities. This brings the total to 3 wet training tanks now. The main wet tank is 17' deep with a total capacity of 48,000 gallons of water and the other tank is a penetration tank for confined space training at 23' and contains 3336 gallons of water. As with the larger wet tank this new welding tank will include a poly carbonate observation window as well, a super sized filtration system, and will be equipped with standing rigging for hoisting large projects in and out of the tank. All heads tilted upward as the steel tank slowly ascended above the dive shop and was jockeyed into position beside the other two tanks. Students are now excited about being able to dive the tank and practice their underwater welding skills.
