Hydrographic survey
We utilise a range of hydrographic surveying technologies to conduct seabed mapping, covering various areas from the coastline to hazardous shallow water and deeper ocean depths.
Leading the way with remote hydrography
Maintaining a clear focus on your objectives, we tap into our extensive resources and expertise to bring you a superior service that sticks to your schedule. Our modern fleet of advanced vessels offers flexibility and force-multiplication, playing a vital role in delivering high-quality results.
Accelerate the acquisition of superior hydrographic data
Whether you are planning a new offshore wind farm development or monitoring existing infrastructure, understanding bathymetry is a vital task. Failure to track seabed morphology can lead to over-budgeting of infrastructure requirements, or increased costs from remediating defects due to unsuitable foundations or poorly designed cable routes.
We perform seabed mapping from nearshore and hazardous shallow water to deep water environments, using a range of hydrographic surveying methodologies including multibeam bathymetry, side scan sonar, sub-bottom profiler, 2D-UHR and magnetometry surveys.
Supporting your offshore wind development activities, we deliver geophysical survey solutions at all water depths, minimising project risk, improving safety and facilitating the route and project design for offshore developers. Operated by our highly experienced team of hydrographic surveyors, our innovative solutions are tailored to meet your quality, sustainability, schedule, and cost requirements. Supporting site consenting, pre-construction and cable route surveys, our survey solutions accelerate the acquisition of industry-leading hydrographic data.
