Technology:
Underwater instrumentation has been developed by MIE to non-
destructively measure the residual thickness of steel substrates
without requiring surface grinding. The resulting data gathered
with this technique can be used to extrapolate overall section
loss and evaluate strength of the submerged portion of
structures such as bridges, steel sheet pile walls and piles.
Pitting is also measured with this technique, which is critical
in anticipating failure of containment structures such as
pipelines and ship hulls.
In the course of our many underwater investigations, we have
observed the proliferation of zebra mussels and their effects on
structures. The invasion of this mussel has resulted in
unprecedented fouling thicknesses and corrosion potential in the
Great Lakes. Consequently, we have undertaken biological
research to quantify the phenomena of microbially influenced
corrosion occurring on steel in the presence of Dreissena
polymorpha with our non-destructive testing techniques.
MIE has the capability to provide high quality underwater photo
and video documentation of the structural and environmental
conditions of the site. In addition MIE can deploy and
photograph sampling and monitoring equipment and conduct
environmental site surveys under the direction of the prime
investigator. Our senior engineer and environmental specialist
are qualified commercial divers who can provide knowledgeable,
first hand assessment of site conditions underwater.
Our diving equipment systems have been developed to combine
safety and portability for quick deployment and access to remote
or difficult sites.
Sector:
Plant Information: Total Plant Size (Areas sq ft): n/a
Unique Applications: MIE has developed a method for mapping the surface
contours and thickness of pitted steel
underwater, using ultrasonic testing combined with
photogrammetry.
We have engineering personnel with extensive
experience in inspecting marine structures and who
are also trained commercial divers that can carry
out underwater inspections.

Success Stories: Reconstruction of the Dunnville Dam near the
mouth of the Grand River, Ontario. This
structure, originally constructed in the early
1800's was completely rebuilt in the 1990's. The
new works included a main dam constructed with
steel sheet piling, and three weirs, all of
different construction, with one featuring a
fishway.
