Time flies when you're saving the day! 15 years ago, Ballard Marine Construction swiftly mobilized underwater robotics, specialized tooling, and marine equipment to support an emergency underwater bridge wire repair project at the Hood Canal Floating Bridge for Washington State DOT. Within 24 hours, Ballard assembled the necessary resources, showcasing creativity and ingenuity by developing an engineered work plan to achieve our client’s goal of reopening the bridge as soon as possible. This challenging project, conducted at depths exceeding 300 feet, saved the client millions by avoiding costly saturation diving operations. Ballard’s underwater robot (ROV), equipped with custom-built tooling, cleaned and removed marine growth from the anchor block, installed the messenger line, and led the installation of the 2” diameter anchor wire through the seafloor-mounted anchor block back to the bridge. After the wire was installed and tensioned, Ballard performed a final as-built survey to ensure proper alignment and catenary. This project highlights Ballard's capability to respond to emergencies swiftly, deploy our extensive fleet of underwater robotic systems, and design specialized tools for complex tasks. Our efforts not only save clients time and money but also improve safety by limiting the need for expensive diver interventions. For solutions to your critical infrastructure challenges, reach out to Ballard's Robotics and Survey Division today! #MarineConstruction #UnderwaterRobotics #EmergencyResponse #EngineeringExcellence #Infrastructure #BallardMarineConstruction

From Intern to Full-Time Engineer: Madison Beaman’s Journey at Ballard 👷♀️ Madison Beaman’s transition from intern to full-time engineer at Ballard showcases Ballard Marine Construction’s dedication to practical, hands-on learning. Attracted by the unique world of underwater construction, Madison found an internship that offered real, impactful experiences. “Ballard was one of the only internships where I felt like I was truly benefitting my future career. I was boots on the ground, very hands-on with many operations,” she recalls. The biggest challenge Madison faced was adjusting to her new role’s responsibilities. “The hardest part was realizing I was the one making the decisions,” she shares. Ownership and Accountability is a Core Attribute at Ballard and this challenge helped Madison grow and gain confidence in her abilities. Madison now thrives in her role at Ballard, appreciating the variety and complexity of the projects. She says, “I love the Ballard family and the projects we work on. No project is the same, so the possibilities are endless and ever evolving.” Madison’s advice to current interns or those considering an internship at Ballard is straightforward: “Never stop trying to learn. Stay hungry for new knowledge and skills.” Her journey highlights how Ballard’s supportive and dynamic environment prepares interns for successful careers in marine construction. #CareerJourney #FromInterntoEngineer #BallardMarineConstruction #MarineConstruction #EngineeringLife #CareerGrowth #InternshipSuccess #ConstructionIndustry #ProjectManagement #EngineeringExcellence #WorkCulture #CareerDevelopment #MentorshipMatters

👷♂️ Bring Your Kid to Work Day Highlights! 👷♀️ This year’s ‘Bring Your Kid to Work Day’ included multiple exciting events! Our engineers hosted a bridge building competition where the employees’ children took on roles as Project Managers, Field Engineers, Surveyors, and Laborers. They followed project designs and plans to create impressive structures! One of Ballard’s senior divers, David Copeland Jr, suited up and submerged in our onsite dive tank. The kids were thrilled to watch as he welded two pieces of metal together underwater. Our HSD & Safety team led shop tours, teaching the children about the saturation chamber, how it’s controlled, and what it’s like to live under pressure for over 20 days. Toward the end of the day, we gathered for a group photo, cooled off with popsicles, tried on dive helmets, and took photos in front of our Hawaiian backdrop. Since it was Aloha Friday, all the kids selected leis to wear. The day was a huge success, teaching the next generation about the important work Ballard does while connecting our teams and their families! 🌺📸 #BringYourKidToWorkDay #STEM #Engineering #Diving #AlohaFriday #FutureEngineers #TeamBuilding #FamilyFun #BallardMarineConstruction

Exciting News from Ballard Marine Construction! We are thrilled to announce the addition of our state-of-the-art long-range remotely operated crawler, equipped with high-tech sensors and cameras, to our advanced inspection fleet. This cutting-edge technology allows us to inspect both dry and submerged structures with unparalleled precision. From desludging flooded vaults and process piping in nuclear plants to inspecting foul air ducts in municipal wastewater treatment plants (and much, much more), our experienced technical experts are here to consult on how this technology can meet your infrastructure inspection needs. Case Study: 🔍 Client Challenge: A municipal client required video inspections and erosion control measures for their sewer pipeline running 3,000’ along the bottom of a lake. 🔧 Our Solution: Ballard mobilized to the project site and deployed a crawling remotely operated vehicle into the 22” diameter pipeline. The crawler successfully traveled 3000’ from a singular access point, navigating 35-degree slopes at depths up to 90’ of water, and retracted through the original entry point without issue, while successfully collecting all the needed inspection data. Ballard engineers and underwater subject matter experts continue to assist the client with development of effective erosion mitigation strategies. Our turnkey underwater and marine inspection, maintenance, and construction services set us apart in the industry. Contact us today to see how we can address your infrastructure challenges! #BallardMarineConstruction #UnderwaterInspection #MarineMaintenance #InnovativeTechnology #InfrastructureSolutions
