Service FAQ

Service Questions, Answered

Do you provide class-approved underwater welding in Bangladesh?

Yes. ICDS performs class-approved underwater welding using qualified SMAW welders certified for shielded-metal-arc welding in 3G position. Our welds on the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Railway Bridge were completed at depths up to 14 m without a single non-conformance.

How quickly can ICDS mobilise a diving team for an emergency?

We maintain 24/7 emergency response capability from both our Dhaka and Chittagong offices. Standard mobilisation time within Chittagong Port is under 2 hours; nationwide mobilisation including barges and support vessels is typically 6–24 hours depending on location and scope.

Can you perform an in-water survey accepted by Bureau Veritas, Lloyd's, ABS or DNV?

Yes. As an officially approved Bureau Veritas Service Supplier we deliver in-water surveys with HD video graphic evidence under class-surveyor attendance, suitable for credit by Bureau Veritas, Lloyd's Register, ABS, DNV, RINA, NK and IRS.

Do you offer hull cleaning that complies with biofouling regulations?

Yes. Our brush-kart, manual-scraping and high-pressure hydraulic jet cleaning techniques are aligned with IMO 2023 biofouling guidelines, with proper waste capture and biosecurity protocols where required by port state authorities.
