Featured Applications

Dredging

Dredgers must perform surveys in advance of any project to determine its size and scope. Multibeam echosounders are critical for evaluating the consistency of the river or seabed floor, and determining its mix of types of sediment.

Quay Walls / Vertical Structures

Quay wall and vertical structures must be planned and evaluated as they are built, inspected upon completion, and must undergo regular inspection and preventive maintenance.

Pipeline Inspections

Pipelines must be planned and evaluated as they are being installed, inspected upon completion, and undergo regular inspection, preventive maintenance, and any repair projects.
