Orkney Harbours Pier Sheet Pile Inspection & Maintenance

Published on September 27 2015

Leask Marine diving and marine construction teams have recently been undertaking the inspection of numerous piers within Orkney Island Council's portfolio to check for corrosion and holes in the sheet piles which make up the piers.

This week we have started carrying out repairs to the piles by welding repair sections over the holes, and you can see the team at work at Scapa.

The repair sections are bent into the correct pile shape and profile and then the diver cleans the surrounding area and welds in the new plate.
