Traditionally, capturing underwater data has required deploying single-beam or multibeam echosounders mounted on survey vessels. While effective, this approach is often both time-consuming and limited in scope, presenting challenges for large-scale or time-sensitive projects.

Introducing Aerial Bathymetric LiDAR: A New Era in Underwater Surveying
At AB Surveying and Development, we’re redefining the way underwater data is captured with our innovative Aerial Bathymetric LiDAR technology. Leveraging the power of the Riegl VQ-840-G LiDAR system, mounted on an aircraft, we have dramatically accelerated the process of data acquisition, delivering results with unmatched speed and precision.

How Does Aerial Bathymetric LiDAR Work?
This revolutionary technology uses a green laser capable of penetrating water to capture detailed underwater data—something previously impossible with traditional aerial LiDAR systems. By combining airborne and bathymetric surveying capabilities, we can now capture high-resolution data from both the water surface and below, providing a comprehensive view of underwater terrains and structures.

Key Benefits of Aerial Bathymetric LiDAR
  • Enhanced Efficiency: By utilizing aircraft rather than survey vessels, we cover vast areas in significantly less time, reducing project duration and costs.
  • Unmatched Precision: The Riegl VQ-840-G’s green laser technology allows for precise data capture, even in challenging environments like shallow waters, coastal areas, and riverbeds.
  • Versatility and Scope: This approach is ideal for various applications, including marine construction, coastal management, environmental monitoring, and hydrographic mapping, offering unparalleled data accuracy and detail.

Pioneering Innovation in Surveying
We are proud to be at the forefront of this game-changing technology, continually pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the field of geospatial surveying. Our collaboration with industry leaders—Chor Sheng Lim of GPS Lands (M) Sdn. Bhd., Tony Botor, Owner and General Manager of AB Surveying and Development, and Marcos Garcia of RIEGL—has been instrumental in bringing this innovative solution to life.
