Echosounder Technology for Precise Underwater Mapping

High-Resolution Seafloor Mapping for Confident Decision

Using Advanced Drone and Digital Survey Technology for Real-Time Insights

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. 

What is Multibeam Technology?

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. 

Multibeam vs. Drone-Based Surveys: Complementary Technologies

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


  • High Accuracy: Centimeter-level precision in depth measurements.
  • Wide Coverage: Simultaneous multi-beam emissions cover large areas efficiently.
  • Detailed 3D Mapping: Creates comprehensive models of seafloor and structures.
  • Versatility: Suitable for diverse applications from navigation safety to environmental monitoring.
  • Cost-Effective: Faster data collection reduces project timelines and costs.

Applications of Multibeam in Hydrographic Surveys

Multibeam is primarily deployed in water-based hydrographic surveys to:


  • Map seafloor bathymetry and underwater landscape features.
  • Inspect underwater infrastructure such as pipelines, cables, and offshore platforms.
  • Support offshore wind farm site surveys and maintenance.
  • Assist dredging operations and port maintenance.
  • Conduct environmental and habitat mapping underwater, aiding conservation efforts.
