Hydrographic surveying companies use specialised equipment to measure and map the physical features of underwater sites, such as harbours, lakes, and coastlines. Hydrographic surveyors also measure the water depth, providing valuable information for shipping safety, navigation, and marine construction projects.
Projects That Require Hydrographic Surveying
Hydrographic surveying companies often work with engineering teams in the planning phase of marine projects. Getting a hydrographic survey of your underwater site ensures you understand the exact layout of the area and how it will influence your design. You may need a hydrographic survey for the following types of projects:
- Dock or marina construction
- Dredging
- Port and harbour mapping
- Waterway planning
- Seafloor infrastructure installation and maintenance
