Case Studies
This project demonstrated the application of HydroSurv Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV) and Sonardyne acoustic communications technology for rapid environmental data collection to Blue Gem Wind, Simply Blue Group and Offshore Wind Consultants (OWC) focusing on the Valorous Floating Offshore Wind (FLOW) Project. The demonstration, which took place in the Celtic Sea, was part of an…
Read MoreAsset owners responsible for managing water resource require a detailed understanding the depth and morphology of reservoirs to understand the volumes of raw water available to treatment works and nowhere is this more important than the Isle of Man where utility engineers have limited options available to overcome water shortages caused under circumstances such as…
Read MoreUnderwater photogrammetry, whilst generally accepted to be at an experimental phase of development, shows promise as an alternative or complementary dataset to hydroacoustic survey in very shallow-water environments, particularly for applications such as characterizing habitats including spawning grounds for rare fish species. HydroSurv has been investigating the development of 3D models of underwater environments using…
Read MoreUnmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) offer the potential for groundbreaking changes to the way waterborne site investigators collect data, not only for routine hydrographic surveys, but also for contingency assignments where existing data does not exist or may be unreliable. For many, this type data collection may be a part of, but not the sole focus,…
