25 years under pressure, from commercial diving to TBM cutterhead interventions. I plan, write and run hyperbaric works so that every worker who goes into the chamber walks out of it.
Hyperbaric works in tunnelling are short, risky and unforgiving. I cover the whole chain: the paperwork the authority approves, the equipment that keeps people alive, and the team that runs it.
Hyperbaric Operations Supervisor (HOS) and manager on TBM and pipe-jacking drives.
Written for site use and for approval by the authorities.
Assessment and optimisation of TBM hyperbaric systems, before and during production.
Practical training on the real equipment, in the language of the crew.
Each plateau is a project, each depth its maximum working pressure. The surface intervals were spent on dewatering and site management for the same tunnels.
Hyperbaric method statement for cutterhead maintenance, hyperbaric team, medical lock, breathing air and oxygen supply.
50+ interventions with zero incidents. Assessment of the TBM hyperbaric system, method statements for Air and Nitrox.
60+ interventions with zero incidents. Method statements for Air and Trimix. Then site and dewatering manager on the same project.
World first: saturation interventions during TBM production. Trimix bounces and air interventions, 600+ interventions with zero incidents, manlock and medical lock operations.
900+ interventions with zero incidents. Trained the compressed air workers and lock attendants.
TBM and TDM interventions on Lyon Metro Line D and MTR WIL 703. Dams, rivers, nuclear facilities. Diving systems on Cairo Metro Line 3 and the Yemen LNG project.
Checklists and tables written for the crews, cutterhead tools and drawings adapted to each machine.
Tunnel, shaft or pipe-jacking drive, early stage or already under pressure: write to me.
