Seaforth has conducted a number of different surveys and desktop studies in support of Tidal energy at the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy (FORCE) site in the Minas Passage and other testing sites in Petit Passage and Grand Passage.
Seaforth has provided navigation and positioning support for all cable deployments and turbine installations and retrieval within the FORCE site.
As another way Seaforth supports the activities of FORCE, Seaforth provides mapping and data management services to FORCE. Seaforth maintains a backup of the Geophysical and Geotechnical survey data collected at the FORCE site. Seaforth provides mapping and survey support to the berth holders at FORCE as well.
