BATHYMETRIC SURVEYING
USING MBES

Uses Multibeam Echosounder; Ideal for Deep water bathymetric survey (Hydrographic Survey)

Our Bathymetric surveying output produces unprecedented clean data, providing faster operational surveys and reduced processing time.

Multibeam Echosounder LiDAR Surveying, also known as Hydrographic Surveying, is a powerful underwater mapping method that uses sound waves to create detailed 3D images of the seafloor. Unlike traditional single-beam sonar that sends one pulse at a time, multibeam systems emit a fan-shaped array of sound pulses, allowing for much wider and denser coverage with each pass.

From a vessel equipped with a multibeam echosounder, sound pulses are emitted and bounce back from the seabed. These returns are then processed to create accurate bathymetric maps showing depth, contours, and underwater features. The denser the coverage, the better the quality of the data—which is especially useful in complex environments like ports, reefs, and offshore wind sites.
