• Bathymetry is the study and mapping of the sea
  floor. Bathymetric surveys allow for us to
  measure the depth of a body of water as well as
  map its underwater features. Bathymetic data is
  used in a range of applications, some include
• Hazard Detection
• Safety of Navigation and Nautical Charting
• Determiniation of Maritime Boundaries
• Environmental Management, including developing
  baseline data
• Research for Coastal and Marine Processes
• Installation of Maritime infrastructure

At Total Hydrographic we gather bathymetric data
in a variety of different methods and equipment.
Our Multibeam Echosounder (MBES) is a full
bathymetric seafloor coverage system. The MBES
system emits 512 beams in a fan shape beneath the
boat allowing the system to capture up to 200,000
soundings per second and ensure maximum coverage
of the seafloor. Our Single Beam Echosounder
(SBES) on the other hand, captures data using a
single beam directly below where the system is
mounted. Single Beam surveys are at a pre-defined
line spacing for example 2m, 5m, 20m. The size
of these intervals determines the final
resolution of the survey.

Multibeam survey and Single Beam surveys are each
best suited to their own individual set of
circumstances, locations and client needs. Total
Hydrographic can help by recommending a
particular solution specific to your own
requirements and priorities as both MBES and SBES
have their individual strengths and capabilities.
Hazard Detection and Debris Clearance
6
Hazard Detection and Debris Clearance is a
necessary support service for any organisation
that manages a body of water.  It is crucial to
identify new or existing obstructions from
natural or anthropogenic events, and to determine
safe recreational use for the public. Our
hydrographic survey team can offer bathymetric
and side scan surveys that utilise in house
R2Sonic Multibeam Echo Sounders (MBES) and/ towed
or hull mounted Side Scan Sonars (SSS) to locate
and identify hazards debris. We can operate
these systems concurrently or separately, to scan
large swaths of river, sea, lake or dam beds in
an efficient manner and provide detailed data on
the hazards present in a format that best suits
you.

Total Hydrographic
Total Hydrographic maintains this equipment and
capability in house and as a result, mitigates
the risk of project delays. From the results of
your survey, all hazards and debris will be
located and identified, allowing you  to be
confident in what lies below the
waterline. Under Keel Clearance

Effective Under Keel Clearance management is a
system put in place by Port and Harbour
Authorities that mitigate the risk of a vessels
hull running aground on the ocean floor. Regular
Bathymetric and Hydrographic Surveys are
undertaken to ensure that vessel navigation in
shipping channels, berths and fairways are not
put at risk. A keen understanding of depths
within Port and Harbour waters is a great tool
for making informed decisions on asset
management, resource allocation and dredging
programs.
