Hydrographic survey

Spectrum delivers high-resolution seabed mapping using multibeam echosounder (MBES) bathymetry and backscatter data to provide detailed insight into seabed morphology, features, and potential hazards. Surveys are conducted using industry-leading sensors and robust acquisition procedures to meet IHO S-44 standards, ensuring reliable datasets suitable for engineering design, navigation, and offshore construction planning.

These surveys support a wide range of offshore and nearshore activities, enabling clients to identify seabed features, assess potential risks, and make informed project decisions.

Typical applications include:

  • High-resolution & high-density multibeam bathymetry & backscatter surveys
  • Construction support
  • Operation and Maintenance (O&M)
  • Pre-jacking surveys
  • UXO clearance
  • Linear infrastructure detection and assessment
  • Port and harbour surveys
  • Shallow water asset detection
  • Nautical charting surveys
  • Wreck & archaeological surveys
