About Dave Malak

As Vice President and Senior Project Engineer at Hibbard Inshore, I oversee project management and business development. We focus on underwater inspections of power facilities, cooling and process water systems, water filled tunnels, dams, large sewer pipes, siphons, potable water systems, nearshore survey works, and specialty marine construction projects for maintenance and rehabilitation of civil structures.We also provide specialty construction services including robotic bulkheading of tunnel systems for plant decommissioning and retirement, plugging of leaks, dredging inside intakes, piping and tunnels, deep water repairs, debris removal and rehabilitation of structures such as trash screens. We have over 30 years of operations in robotic vehicle, sensing, and tooling systems to provide inspection, survey, and intervention services to the power generation, water and sewer, offshore, military, mining and tunneling industries. We can perform inspections to minimize outage times, inspect in flowing conditions, gather dimensional and NDT data in zero or low visibility conditions, and travel many kilometers from a single access point. We can robotically place temporary or permanent bulkheads into tunnels and pressure piping without dewatering or performing dangerous manned entry, and we can engineer projects for localized underwater repairs or dredging to improve lifespan or plant efficiency.Previous to my time at Hibbard Inshore, I gained experience in electrical automation systems with Rockwell Automation – Allen Bradley.I am a graduate of the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor with a BSE in Industrial and Operations Engineering and have completed a MBA through Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky.
