Bathymetry

The job of measuring river and submerged areas is sometimes challenging. For this, our team works with multidisciplinary techniques and cutting-edge technology to generate the results needed for each project.

Our work is based on combining an echo sounder with a real-time GNSS receiver, which allows us to continuously survey geolocated points that contain submerged depth information.

In this way, it is possible to precisely map the beds and banks of bodies of water (dams, lakes, rivers, etc.), identify places where erosion or silting processes occur, calculate eroded volumes and determine a set of cross-sectional profiles for monitoring sedimentation processes.

With this, we carry out computer analysis of the data to generate longitudinal profiles, thematic maps, 3D visualizations, volume graphs, among other possible work resources.

Finally, using a single cartographic base, it is possible to combine the bathymetric survey with any other survey of the surroundings, such as aerial, laser scanner or conventional topography.
