JFD operates the only land-based saturation diving complex in the UK, providing facilities for underwater welding and hyperbaric habitat trials.

Our large work chamber can be adapted for a variety of welding situations and is attached to a full saturation diving system which is comfortably furbished for up to 16 divers to live in under saturation.

The unique facilities at the NHC permit problem free testing of dry welding and wet welding procedures. An established set up combined with interface flexibility allows a variety of habitat welding techniques: manual, mechanised and remotely operated. A tried and tested internal filtration system ensures the maintenance of good visibility during dry and wet welding operations in either a fresh water or mixed gas environment. A full video and communication system means that dives can be monitored and recorded and ensures a controlled and safe environment.
