HARDSUIT™ Atmospheric Diving System (ADS)

One-person, one-atmosphere diving suit rated to 1,200 fsw, operated by Phoenix for subsea inspection, repair, salvage and construction tasks.

Description

The HARDSUIT™ is a one-man, one-atmosphere diving suit that keeps the operator at surface pressure, eliminating decompression requirements. Phoenix owns and operates the suits for subsea work to 1,200 fsw. Typical working dives last 4–6 hours, and the system needs less deck space and smaller crews than saturation diving.

Key features

  • Depth rating of 1,200 fsw
  • Neutrally buoyant, able to access confined spaces
  • Compatible with conventional diver tooling
  • Redundant life support and a Topside Atmospheric Monitoring System

Applications

Inspection of fixed and floating structures, pipelines and risers; anode retrofits; clamp installation; subsea well intervention; debris removal; riser installation and pipeline tie-ins.
