Echosounder technology is a cornerstone of modern underwater surveying, providing detailed and accurate mapping of the seafloor and submerged structures. At ERCS International, we leverage advanced single and multibeam systems to deliver high-resolution bathymetric data critical for marine navigation, offshore construction, environmental monitoring, and more.
Our expert team ensures precise data collection and analysis, helping clients make informed decisions for complex underwater projects.
Multibeam uses multiple acoustic beams emitted from a survey vessel or underwater vehicle to measure depth and capture detailed seafloor topography. By sending out a wide swath of sonar pulses simultaneously and measuring the time it takes for each pulse to return, multibeam systems generate dense point clouds of depth data.
This data forms the basis for high-resolution 3D maps of underwater terrain, essential for safe navigation, infrastructure inspection, and environmental assessments.
While multibeam operates underwater to map the seafloor, drone surveys capture detailed aerial data above the waterline using LiDAR and photogrammetry. Drones are ideal for coastal and shallow water zones, shoreline mapping, and terrestrial inspections, while sonar provides unparalleled detail beneath the surface. Together, these technologies offer a complete picture of marine and coastal environments, enabling holistic project planning and management.
Benefits Of Multibeam Surveys
Multibeam is primarily deployed in water-based hydrographic surveys to:
At ERCS International, we deploy the latest multibeam systems on vessels to capture precise underwater data in various marine settings. Our experienced surveyors combine this with robust data processing and analysis to deliver actionable insights tailored to your project’s needs. Whether supporting offshore renewables, port infrastructure, or environmental conservation, our multibeam surveys provide the reliable data foundation you require.
