Studying for a certificate of completion in Welding Technology at Texas State Technical College, the Wyoming native and Bangs High School graduate has her sights set on a career in underwater welding.
Oxygen arc cutting and arc welding underwater requires greater skill and stamina than working in a dry and stable environment. The underwater environment imposes several limitations and restrictions on both the equipment and the operator, and the restriction of short bottom times at greater depths for surface-oriented divers makes efficient working important to getting the job done in a ...
Underwater welding Underwater welding habitat for dry hyperbaric welding. Hyperbaric welding is the process of extreme welding at elevated pressures, normally underwater. [1] [2] Hyperbaric welding can either take place wet in the water itself or dry inside a specially constructed positive pressure enclosure and hence a dry environment.
