FAQs

FAQs

What is a hydrographic survey?
A hydrographic survey is the process of measuring and describing the physical properties of water bodies and their surrounding areas. It involves collecting data on water depth, bottom topography, and various other environmental factors.
What is a Multibeam Echosounder?
A Multibeam Echosounder is an advanced sonar system used in marine surveys to measure water depth. It operates by sending out multiple sound waves simultaneously, providing high-resolution and detailed topographic data of the seabed.
How does a Multibeam Echosounder work?
The device emits a sound beam towards the seabed. When the sound waves hit the bottom, they are reflected back to the echo device. By measuring the time it takes for the waves to return, the system calculates the depth and generates a detailed map of the seabed's topography.
