Underwater construction

Underwater construction is industrial construction in an underwater environment. There is often, but not necessarily, a significant component of commercial diving involved.[1][2]

Scope and applications

Underwater construction is common in the civil engineering, coastal engineering, energy, and petroleum extraction industries.

Civil engineering

Coastal engineering

Energy infrasructure

Petroleum extraction

Relevant technology

Occupational safety and health issues

Underwater work by divers on construction sites is generally within the scope of Diving regulations.[4][5] The work may also come within the scope of other occupational heath and safety related regulations.

gollark: ++remind "september 24" it is already too late
gollark: Nobody needed those environment variables anyway, because it didn't crash.
gollark: Apparently you used to be able to use some internal Python API to get the location of argv/argc but they broke it.
gollark: I read somewhere that the environment list thing was near argv in memory, so it finds a common environment variable's location using `getenv`, scans backward until it finds `python3`, then randomly overwrites things.
gollark: Do you like my `argv[0]`-setting code, by the way? I think that's what it has to use to deceive `ps ax`.
