WHAT WE DO

We provide a wide range of  interventions on different specific underwater environments such as lakes, reservoirs, rivers, harbors and marines. 

The company is well equipped to deal with any kind of subaqueous facility.

In the last few decades the panorama of hydro power industry increased its needs of high technological maintenance, rehabilitation, and high defined inspection, and Lucatelli Diving is once again a step forward.

Thanks to our cutting-edge equipment, we offer first of all, a defined inspection of the intervention environment.

Our capabilities encompass all steps of the process, from fast mobilization to the remotest of sites, to setting the camp and granting the best quality of working conditions for our crew, and delivering to our clients a top-notch intervention.

The reservoirs created by dams not only suppress floods but provide water for various needs to include irrigation, human consumption, industrial use, aquaculture and navigability. 
Hydropower is often used in conjunction with dams
to generate electricity. Lucatelli readiness is by your side when your facility necessitates a fast and top-class maintenance intervention.
