Bathymetric Survey

Bathymetry ‘A new approach for simple and fast deployment’ is the measurement of depth of ocean, river or lake. The data is used to create models that can calculate Currents, Tides, Water Temperature & Salinity.
When characterizing water-body beds, lakes and/or rivers, the acquisition of bathymetric data is an entryway for many studies: dredging, determination of water depths, cartography etc.

WHY BATHYMETRIC WITH UAV

Bathymetric drones capture water depths and sediments much faster and cost-efficiently. It is easy to deploy and has the ability to operate at hard to reach locations, unsafe or hazardous environments. The drone makes bathymetric surveys 10 times faster and 2 times more cost-effective compared to a standard approach using a ship, a boat or an unmanned surface vehicle.

ADVANTAGES OF THE BATHYMETRIC DRONE

Absence of people on water safety.

Quick launching and from any type of bank.

High manoeuvrability.

Automation of operations.

DELIVERABLES

Digital Terrain Model, isobaths. Profiles. Bathymetric differential, erosion/filling… Calculations of volumes, changes to sediment stocks. Study of the volume of water remaining. Morphodynamic study.
