Workscope - The Hay Point Coal Loader is located 40km south of Mackay in tropical Nth Queensland. Our small team were commissioned to inspect and report on all the pile legs under the conveyor belt and conduct a seabed survey . This job is done annually to ensure the coal is delivered safely to the ships. Whilst diving twice a day, we were sometimes at the mercy of the wind and tides which meant early starts and late finishes.
Equipment - ultrasonic thickness meter, cathodic protection meter, magnetic particle inspection, high pressure water jet, crane rigging, broco cutting, general visual inspection
Highlight - This whole area is a green zone and cannot be fished or dived on. We were lucky to have the opportunity to dive with reef fish, huge cod, turtles and friendly sea snakes at every turn of the corner.
