Industrial Salvage Services for Submerged Assets and Critical Recovery Operations

Glenn’s Salvage Services Deliver Fast, Controlled Recovery in High-Stakes Environments

When submerged structures, equipment, or infrastructure create operational or safety hazards, Glenn Industrial Group responds fast. Our industrial salvage crews specialize in recovering critical assets from intakes, forebays, reservoirs, and navigation zones — while minimizing risk and protecting the surrounding environment.

We combine heavy-lift capabilities, diver/ROV coordination, and engineered containment systems to restore site function and compliance under emergency conditions or planned shutdowns.

Our Survey Capabilities

What Types of Salvage and Recovery Services Do We Offer?

🔹Underwater Asset Recovery

Retrieval of gates, turbines, machinery, and large components from submerged environments.

🔹 Emergency Salvage Operations

24/7 mobilization for storm damage, infrastructure failure, or blocked intake recovery.

🔹 Heavy Debris Removal

Grapple, vacuum, and diver-assisted removal of collapsed concrete, sediment, and mechanical obstructions.

🔹 Barge & Platform Recovery

Lift and tow operations for sunken barges or staging equipment in harbors or inland waterways.

🔹 Environmental Containment During Recovery

Use of turbidity curtains, riser control, and silt fencing to prevent downstream contamination.

🔹 Salvage Planning & Engineering

Rigging diagrams, load calculations, and risk assessments for structural lifts or confined recoveries.

Facilities and Sites Where Salvage is Mission-Critical

Our salvage operations are designed for infrastructure where failure or blockage isn’t just inconvenient — it’s operationally or environmentally dangerous. Glenn Industrial Group has extensive experience working in regulated, high-stakes environments where rapid debris removal, asset recovery, and structural clearance are essential to maintaining uptime, compliance, and public safety.
