TECHNICAL EXECUTION

Challenge & Delivered Outcome

THE CHALLENGE

Operational & Site Constraints

Narrow tidal window and heavy channel traffic required continuous 24-hour operations without vessel repositioning delays.

THE OUTCOME

Deliverables & Client Impact

High-resolution bathymetric surface delivered within 12 hours of final survey line; port approved dredge volume sign-off immediately.

Key Technologies:
Multibeam sounder Volume calculation Smoothed bathymetry
