Coastal Zone & Infrastructure Management

The coastal zone is a vital part of the marine environment, and surveys are essential for understanding the needs of this ecosystem. Surveys help assess the coastline's health, identify potential threats to its integrity, and develop strategies for its protection. In recent years, technological advances have made it possible to survey large areas of the coastline more efficiently.

Hydrographic surveying is vital for the safe navigation of vessels, understanding the seabed habitat, identifying potential hazards and debris, and measuring sea levels. Aquamap has a wealth of experience in this field, and our surveys can also inform engineers on how best to design infrastructure for dredging projects and flood modelling. The Coastal Zone is a complex and ever-changing environment, and effectively managing this vital resource requires detailed knowledge and understanding. Our team of experts can provide the data you need to make informed decisions about the future of your coastal infrastructure. Contact us today to find out more.

Pipeline, Cable & Sub Sea Infrastructure

Underwater pipelines, cables and subsea structures are just a few examples of marine infrastructure critical for offshore activities such as oil and gas exploration, energy, and telecommunications.

Pipeline systems transport fluids such as oil and gas, while cable networks carry electrical power and communications signals between offshore locations. Subsea structures support pipeline and cable systems and house components such as control valves and connectors. Without these vital infrastructure components, offshore activities would be impossible.

Object Detection & Debris Clearance

Debris in the marine environment can come from various sources, from land-based activity to discarded fishing gear. This debris can significantly impact marine infrastructure activities, from dredging to offshore installation activities. To ensure the safety of these activities, it is essential to clear any debris from the area before proceeding. Object detection and debris clearance are crucial steps in the marine infrastructure process.

Benefits of Object Detection & Debris Clearance

Avoid Shipping Incidents
Fouling of Dredging and Construction Equipment
Safe Anchorage

Dredging and Bed Leveling

Dredging and bed levelling surveys are important tools for environmental monitoring and research. Dredging surveys assess the depth of sediment in an area, while bed-levelling surveys measure the contours of the seafloor. This information is used to track changes in seafloor topography over time and to study sediment movement in response to currents, tides, and waves. The data collected by these surveys is essential for understanding the dynamics of our oceans and coasts.

Benefits of Dredging and Bed Leveling

Maximising the Use and Productivity of Ports
Plan Shipping Schedules
Draft for Vessel Entry and Exit from the Ports

Port and Harbour

Surveying is critical to the management of all ports and harbours. By surveying the seabed, port authorities can identify changes in depth and seabed topography. This information is essential for safe navigation, as it helps to ensure that vessels have sufficient water depth to enter the port. Surveys also play a vital role in environmental management, as they can help identify seabed areas at risk of erosion or contamination. In addition, surveys can be used to assess the impact of proposed development projects on the surrounding environment.

Benefits of Surveying Ports and Harbours

Monitors and Assess Seabed Changes
Collect Data for Charting Purposes and Safe Navigation
Declare Depth for Berths and Shipping Channels
Assist Marine Construction and Dredging

Navigational Safety

Hydrographic surveys play a vital role in ensuring navigational safety. By collecting data on the seafloor's depth and contours, hydrographers can produce detailed charts showing safe routes for ships to follow. Hydrographic surveys are also used to assess the risks posed by underwater hazards such as rocks, sandbanks, and wrecks. In addition, hydrographers are essential in monitoring the effects of coastal development on the marine environment. By conducting regular surveys, they can provide crucial information that can help decision-makers plan and manage our use of the seas in a sustainable way.
