ABOUT US
 

 

We are a leading commercial diving contractor based on the River Medway in the South East. We operate throughout the nearshore and inland waters of the UK and Europe. 

​

Specialising in marine construction our teams cover a full range of disciplines. Under these disciplines we have a multitude of operational capabilities. 

​

We have four dive systems within our fleet and can respond nationwide 24/7. Two containerised, one van and flyaway. Having variability in the dive system allows us to adapt to project specific requirement and constraints.

 

For particularly challenging projects our in house IMCA Dive Technician and engineers can tailor a dive system to suit the needs required. 

​

We work closely with our clients during the planning stages to select the equipment and skill sets of personnel and plant suitable for the project requirements to achieve project success.

Steven Coyle - Construction Delivery Lead (Marine) Costain 

MACDS were engaged to provide support the marine engineering solution for Bewl Water. The challenges were subwater level placement of precast support slabs placed on a 17.6-degree revetment to support 3 number 22-ton steel pipes which connect to in shore pipelines.

GPS MACS developed a system to allow marine installation with MACDS Providing Diver support from floating pontoons using a rail winch and trolley systems to enable the construction in a safe controlled sequence. This provided a very successful project delivery for our client.
