| Procedure 1 | Dec 7, 2007-- Purpose: To test performance and resistance to fouling of PVC junction boxes and sealant compounds |
| Procedure 2 | Jan 10, 2008-- Purpose: to test resistance to fouling and corrosion of different alloys of Stainless Steel as well as various types of fasteners. |
| Procedure 3 | Purpose: to protect submarine cables from chafing on sharp rocky edges |
| Procedure 4 | Purpose: To prevent corrosion of steel Ibeam supporting and holding power and control cables through intertidal zone. |
| Procedure 5 | Purpose: To provide ballast to steel Ibeam carrying power cables in intertidal zone preventing movement during heavy surge. |
This video shows the procedures used in several on-going experiments for testing underwater materials for the tidal current energy project. Pearson College Divers are doing the installation and monitoring.
