Towed Diver Operated Vehicle (dov)
Dive Sled
The 'Toad' sled is a heavy duty welded aluminum and Lexan sled,
operated by the diver and towed by the boat. It can be used
from marine or aquatic biological surveys to police or military
operations such as evidence and body recovery. The sled
completely protects the diver from fast currents and impact with
bottom debris. The sled has been used in up to 10 knots of
river current.
Our sled is currently being used by the Canadian Army Combat
divers as well as the Niagara Regional Police Service's
Underwater Search & Recovery Team.
The 'Toad' sled comes equipped with high power lights, hardwire
comms, surface video or sonar feed and a Spectra stength
member. The sled body can be detached to pack up into a 2.5' x
4' x 4' crate for transporting and only weighs approx. 65lbs.
We can produce most custom designs requests.
Please contact us for more information.
Peer Ultrasonic Timber Pile Inspection Probe
The PEER System is an underwater ultrasonic non-destructive
testing instrument. It is used to determine the remaining cross-
section in timber piling. The PEER is self contained and can be
operated by a single diver.
The accuracy of the PEER System is +/- 10% at a 95% confidence
interval.

Architect & Engineering Inspections
Foreshore Technologies Inc. (FTI) performs condition assessment
inspections on all areas of timber, steel and concrete structures
above and below-water.
This includes ultrasonic non-destructive testing of steel
supports (above/below-water) and timber piling (below-water only)
in the marine environment.
FTI has a unique ultrasonic instrument capable of assessing the
internal damage of marine timber piling to an accuracy level that
exceeds the U.S. Navy's accuracy requirements.
Structural Condition Assessments & Wood Preservation
Foreshore Technologies Inc. performs below water and above
water condition assessments on all areas of timber, concrete and
steel structures.
We specialize in the under water non-destructive testing of
timber piles. Our ultrasonic testing instrument is accurate to
within +/- 15% (relative error) 95 times out of a hundred. Our
instrument has a 16 year history of accurately assessing Toredo
'worm' and other marine borer damage in the marine environment.
We also conduct non-destructive testing for steel concrete
piles and supports, cathodic protection system analysis and
steel thickness testing. Above water services include
structural inspections for wood rot, insect infestation,
mechanical damage and structural failure.
Above water inspection services include timber pile/post
inspections for fungus and insect infestation, steel corrosion,
weld damage and mechanical damage, and concrete pile/support
inspections for chemical deterioration, mechanical and impact
damage. Foreshore Technologies Inc. also treats timber piles
and supports for fungus & insect infestation with a treatment
guaranteed to last ten years. Our method of installing this
treatment has been approved for use over fish bearing waters.
Marine/Aquatic Environmental Services
Foreshore Technologies Inc. specializes in various areas of
Marine biological surveys and environmental monitoring.
In conjunction with our 'Toad' diver sled, we are able to
conduct marine or aquatic environmental surveys over large
areas. Because our sled does not restrict the biologist/diver,
we can cover the entire survey or mapping area, rather than rely
on mean or averaging transects. Our services include bottom
surveys, ground truthing previous survey or side scan
information, collecting mud or specimen samples, mapping the
substrate and biota, epi-benthic survey and collection etc.
We have the capability to map the information using dGPS with
sub meter (3.3 feet) accuracy.
Search & Recovery / Underwater Mapping / Underwater Environmental Survey / Underwater Insurance Investigations
Foreshore Technologies Inc. provides underwater survey and
search & recovery services. Some of our services included:
simple recovery of lost equipment, mapping environmentally
sensitive areas, search & recovery of car/plane wreckage and
body recovery. With the use of one specialized diver operated
sled, we can search or map any body of water regardless of
current speed, down to a depth of 30 meters (100 feet).
If requested, Differential Global Positioning equipment can be
used in conjunction with our sled - with a sub-meter accuracy
range (<3 feet).
We have vast experience working with federal, civic and
private agencies. Our typical projects range from surveying and
mapping over 400 kilometers of sensitive fishery habitats for the
Department of Fisheries and Oceans, to search and recovery of
case sensitive evidence with Police search and recovery teams.
We have also conducted training courses on sled searching
operations with the Canadian Department of Defence divers.
