| Soderholm Maritime supplies divers for the cleaning of underwater structures and for the installation of permanent or temporary zebra mussel control systems. We have installed many such systems throughout the Great Lakes and in smaller Ontario lakes. The most common system involves a chlorine diffuser installed in the intake and a feed pipe from the shore and may also include a water sampling line. This may be installed externally, similar to a new construction, or may be installed inside the pipe itself. We have worked on such systems since the early days of the zebra mussel invasion. |
