Hyperbaric Tunnelling Consulting Services & Personnel

Our Consultancy service aims to put in place a complete operational system of Hyperbaric, Medical, Safety and Occupational Health Regimes which are compliant with local legislation, but also utilise our expertise and available technology to achieve the “Best Working Practice” for a given project or location. Working in this way, the client can have systems in readiness or contingency available, whilst the project is under design or in development. The consultancy support normally then continues over the duration of the project to assist with amendments/improvements to procedure and to assist with the various unforeseen challenges that inevitably develop.

Following the set-up of these systems and regimes, and with consultancy support in place, we would then look to place our expert personnel on site to operate them. To the large part our personnel are equally qualified and interchangeable; the aim being that anyone can supervise the Tunnel / TBM Locks, Management / Treatment of Decompression Illness, act as a HyperbaricTender / Medic / Rescue or provide general site Occupational Health Safety cover.

This helps to establish safe and efficient operation once work has commenced, enabling our staff to continually reassess the working environment as the contract progresses. This coupled with training, familiarisation and induction of the general workforce ensures our clients are freed from the time consuming work in areas where they may have limited expertise.

All our personnel have unique experience and qualification in hyperbaric fields; they offer the highest possible standards for the operation of systems and medical backup for Compressed Air (Hyperbaric) use and Safety Cover in Tunnelling.
