Hydrographic & Offshore Surveys

Surveying in all waters

Accurate surveys of the seabed are vital before any infrastructure can be installed in the development of lake, river and maritime projects such as , Boat anchorage, baths, bridges, offshore wind farms, cable laying and pipeline installation e.t.c

Our survey team brings the latest hydrographic survey techniques to provide single beam, multibeam, side scan and sub-bottom survey services in different marine environments

MODERN TECHNOLOGY IN HYDROGRAPHY

Metricon provide sound environmental and geo-environmental solutions, exceptional service, and technical expertise in solving every aspects of environmental challenges to AEC industry, governments, parastatals, and the private sector across Africa. Our broad project experience encompasses residential and commercial buildings, schools and universities, industrial facilities, marine terminals, water/wastewater treatment facilities and infrastructure, hospitals, and more.

HYDROGRAPHIC AND MARINE SURVEYS

Our team range of hydrographic survey surveys ranging from horizontal and vertical survey control points along areas to be surveyed. We provide topographic surveys of the ground surface down to the water level. Survey control information provide controls framework for conducting the Hydrographic or Bathymetric Surveys allowing design of infrastructure along the water front and off-sea infrastructure constructions.

Our hydrographic capacity includes vessels equipped with the latest multibeam, sector scan and single beam echo sounders, on-board processing and data displays, real-time centimetre level GPS position fixing, current metering ,side-scan sonar and magnetometers.

Bathymetric surveys allow surveyors and hydrographers measure the depth of a water body and map the underwater features of a water body. Multiple methods can be used for bathymetric surveys including multi-beam and single-beam surveys, sub-bottom profilers, and the Ecomapper Autonomous Underwater Vehicles.

Bathymetric surveys are used in various fields including port harbour dredging and monitoring, contour of streams and reservoirs, leakage, water-quality studies, dam removal, biological spill, storage and fill
