Bathymetric Surveys

Utilising the latest in precision sonar and autonomous technologies, we specialise in high-definition port and harbour services, mapping the depth and shape of underwater terrain including ports, harbours, and coastal and inland waterways.

Tide, Current and Geodetic Surveys

We undertake all types of tide, current and geodetic survey services, including tide gauge and current meter installations, data analysis and reporting, recovery and establishment of tidal datums and geodetic control, and geodetic control surveys.

Sidescan Surveys

We create precise acoustic images of the seafloor, using advanced sonar to cover large areas quickly and cost-effectively. Sidescan Sonar can be used for pre and post-construction surveys for all maritime projects.

Data Processing, Reporting and Quality Assurance

Supported by leading hydrographic data processing software, we offer bathymetric data processing and reporting for Singlebeam, Multibeam, Backscatter and Sidescan Sonar surveys, as well as formal QA and project management.

Coastal Monitoring

Our high-quality coastal monitoring surveys can identify both short-term and long-term trends, enabling accurate predictions and effective monitoring of future changes in the coastal environment.

Aerial Imaging

Ideal for hard-to-reach areas, drones make surveying faster and more cost-efficient, while providing high-quality data. Equipped with the latest aerial mapping technology, our drones obtain reliable results with centimetre-level accuracy.
