Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized technician who performs tasks such as surveys and inspections, welding and cutting, repairs, and material transport in underwater environments at construction sites.
Description
Divers (construction works) handle surveys and inspections of underwater structures such as riverbeds, ports, dams, and bridge piers, as well as underwater welding and cutting, repair work, and material installation. They utilize techniques such as bubble diving and saturation diving, wearing breathing apparatus and diving suits to perform tasks. Essential knowledge and skills include decompression procedures to prevent decompression sickness, safety management, and emergency first aid, with teamwork and strict adherence to procedures required.
Future Outlook
With the aging of infrastructure and the increase in marine structures, demand for divers remains stable. They are also expected to play active roles in fields such as offshore wind power generation and other renewable energy sectors. On the other hand, advancements in ROVs and automation technologies may replace some tasks.
