CASE: Veiligheidsregio Utrecht – Post Vinkeveen

Back to all cases

Sonar training

At fire dept. Vinkeveen they use sonar on their boat to locate missing persons and objects. This way they are able to cover large area and save their divers for hotspot diving and areas where the boat is not able to navigate. These firemen are trained to understand and interpret sonar images provided by their Lowrance sonar system. Allowing them to map the lakebed and identify the object or person missing.

Are you also looking to provide your personnel with the knowledge they need to operate a sonar system. Contact us and we can see what we can do to bring their knowledge to the highest level.

Side scan sonar is a useful tool for scanning the sea bottom to search for missing persons. The technology uses sound waves to create detailed images of the ocean floor, which can reveal objects or anomalies that may be of interest to search and rescue teams.

By analyzing these images, divers and other searchers can identify potential targets for further investigation, potentially leading to the discovery of missing persons. However, side scan sonar is not a foolproof method and requires skilled operators and appropriate equipment to be effective.

Navigator training

I recently had the opportunity to work with Ian Jeffery on a training in underwater navigation. His knowledge and expertise in the subject matter was evident from the start, and he was able to effectively tailor the training to the needs of my military customer. It was a pleasure working with Ian and I would highly recommend them for any training in underwater navigation.

Sonar training

From a selection of external instructors in the field of Sonar training specifically for our Water Accidents Teams (24-hour service Emmen & Voluntary Water Accidents team Assen), the choice fell on Ian Jeffery. This turned out to be a very good choice. The refresher/further training courses were unanimously assessed as 100% positive on content, but also on the human aspect. “A great instructor who thinks along”

Question? Look in the faq or get in touch with me.

I provide sonar training aimed at the search of objects on the seabed. This can be using classical sidescan, SAS sonar or a forward looking sonar. Training is aimed at getting familiar with the technique behind the sonardata provided. This all will be combined with common practise when performing sonar operations.

My trainings are commonly given on a location of the customers choice. As it adds vallue to train in the waters you will work in we try to provide the training at a location of the customers choosing. This can be anywhere in the world.

Yes, i can provide you with ROV training aimed at governmental and inspection use of an ROV. I find it important to mention that i aim at search, identifying and recovering objects and do not aim at offshore duties other then inspection class vehicles.

I am familiar with several different vehicles and assets. Small sized Auv’s, medium sized Auv’s, USBL systems, INS systems. This is a small part of the devices I work with on a weekly bases.
