Limpet Dams

NJM has built up an enviable reputation within the construction industry for completing innovative marine projects. In the 1980s the company developed specialist knowledge and skills in moveable cofferdams (limpet dams for which they hold the patent) to facilitate high quality repair work on marine structures below the water line. The success of this system has resulted in securing many contracts worldwide.

Renewals and repairs of complex moving structures handled by Nuttall John Martin have often included use of the specialist NJM Limpet Dams allowing dry inspection and working with good QA practices.

Limpet Dams are designed to create a dry working environment below the water level, adjacent to a quay face or marine structure.

Limpet Dams allow high quality repairs or strengthening to be carried out to structures without resorting to the use of divers. The Limpet Dam system is also an ideal way of carrying out routine, but thorough, inspections of structures.

A feature of major significance with the system is its flexibility which permits substantial works of strengthening to be undertaken to busy operational quays with minimum disruption to shipping.

Corrosion management using Limpet Dam technology is now a real economic option.
