Full-cycle sonar expertise — hardware R&D, custom acquisition software, cartographic surveys, and field service. From the lab to the seabed.
From hardware design and field testing to data processing software and complete cartographic deliverables.
Design, prototyping and field testing of single-beam, multibeam, and side-scan sonar systems for marine and industrial applications.
Custom acquisition, processing and visualization software. Real-time pipelines, signal processing, object detection, and 3D point-cloud tools.
Hydrographic and bathymetric surveys using multibeam echosounders, sub-bottom profilers, magnetometers, and LiDAR fusion workflows.
Preventive maintenance, calibration, sensor overhaul, and field support for third-party sonar and survey equipment.
We deploy multi-sensor platforms to deliver accurate, georeferenced seabed maps — from harbour approach channels to offshore deep-water areas. Every survey is conducted to IHO S-44 standards and delivered in client-ready GIS formats.
Our cartographic workflows integrate side-scan sonar, multibeam echosounder, sub-bottom profiler, and magnetometer data into a single co-registered dataset — enabling detailed analysis of seabed morphology, sediment type, buried hazards, and underwater infrastructure.
Detection and charting of underwater hazards — wrecks, unexploded ordnance, boulders, and shoals — to ensure safe passage in port approaches, fairways, and anchorage areas.
Full-coverage depth surveys using calibrated multibeam echosounders. Production of electronic navigational charts, paper charts, and 3D digital terrain models compliant with IHO and IMO requirements.
High-resolution mapping of berths, quay walls, breakwaters, and approach channels. Dredging volume calculations, sedimentation monitoring, and infrastructure condition assessment.
Pre-lay route assessment and as-built surveys for submarine pipelines and cables. Detection of free spans, crossings, and burial depth anomalies using SSS and sub-bottom profiling.
Seabed classification and benthic habitat mapping for environmental impact assessment, marine protected area management, and coastal zone planning using acoustic backscatter analysis.
Systematic SSS search for lost objects, aircraft, vessels, and archaeological targets. Sub-metre positioning of detected objects with co-registered bathymetric 3D models.
Side-scan image with co-registered multibeam bathymetric model.
Sediment texture, benthic objects, buried feature detection.
Sonar platform lowered from survey vessel — pre-survey operation.
Our in-house software fuses magnetometer data, drone telemetry, and sensor feeds into a live operational picture.
Automated heatmap generation from magnetic field data. Threshold-based classification and labelled anomaly tracking across multi-drone sweeps.
Configure drone count, safe zones, deviation corridors, speed profiles, and altitude layers. Live ship autopilot integration.
Overlay acoustic, magnetic, and optical data on georeferenced charts. Export to standard GIS formats.
Automatic contact detection with ping-level localisation, heading, rectangle dimensions, and depth data. Positional accuracy to sub-metre for identified seabed objects.
Biofouled spherical contact mine on seabed. Depth: ~50 m. Confirmed by ROV visual survey.
Rectangular bottom mine — heavily encrusted. Located via SSS, confirmed by ROV inspection.
SDAA v1.3 contact analysis: Ping 338, depth 22.6 m, 16×3 m rectangle, heading 227°.
A structured engineering workflow — validated, publication-ready deliverables every time.
Define scope, depth range, resolution spec, and output format.
Sensor selection, mounting, calibration, software configuration.
Survey execution with real-time QC and redundant data logging.
Cleaning, filtering, georeferencing, multi-sensor fusion.
Charts, 3D models, GIS layers, and technical report.
Side-scan sonar records of underwater objects — wrecks, pipelines, and seabed anomalies from active survey operations.
Underwater video inspection footage — ROV close-up documentation of submerged objects, structures, and unexploded ordnance on the seabed.
Real survey results — seismic profiling and multibeam bathymetry from recent projects.
High-resolution SBP record showing sediment layering and acoustic stratigraphy. Depth scale to ~200 m. Coordinates annotated along the track line.
Colour-coded depth model from MBES data. Warm tones (red/orange) — shallow; cool tones (blue/purple) — deep. Intersecting survey track lines visible.
