Shoutout to the dive team on that tricky bridge job in Mobile Bay last fall
We were doing a standard inspection on the pilings, and the lead diver insisted on using the old 'touch and feel' method instead of the new sonar mapping gear we had on the boat. I saw him miss a whole section of spalling concrete because the viz was maybe 2 feet, and the client almost failed the whole structure. I've been pushing for the tech on every job since, but some of the old guard still think it's a waste of time. How do you convince a crew that's been doing it one way for 20 years that the new way is better?
