Precision Surveying for Complex Marine Environments
Marine Geophysical Surveys provide detailed information on seabed features, shallow subsurface conditions and buried or exposed objects to support marine construction, dredging, pipeline and cable routes, offshore developments and other marine engineering projects.
Marine Geophysical Surveys provide detailed information about seabed conditions, subsurface structures, and underwater obstructions. These surveys are essential for planning, designing, and safely executing offshore, coastal, and marine construction projects.
Using advanced geophysical technologies, we investigate the seabed and underlying geological layers to identify potential risks, support engineering decisions, and improve project planning.
Our survey teams use side-scan sonar, sub-bottom profilers, marine magnetometers, multibeam echo sounders, seismic equipment, GNSS, and high-precision marine positioning systems to collect accurate and reliable subsea data.
Key Benefits Of Marine Development
Detailed seabed and subsurface mapping > Early identification of underwater hazards > Improved route and site selection > Better support for engineering and design > Reduced construction risks and unexpected delays > Accurate data for offshore and coastal developments > Reliable technical reports and digital deliverables
Supporting Safer Marine Development
Marine Geophysical Surveys help identify buried objects, seabed features, geological layers, pipelines, cables, and other potential hazards before construction begins. This information supports route planning, foundation design, dredging operations, environmental assessment, and offshore installation activities.
Whether you require a river survey, seabed map, dredging calculation, or marine construction survey, our USV bathymetric surveying solutions provide accurate, safe, and cost-effective results.

Our Marine Geophysical Survey Methods
Side Scan Sonar (SSS)
Used to produce high-resolution acoustic imagery of the seabed for identification of seabed features, objects, debris, pipelines, cables and other anomalies.
Sub-Bottom Profiling (SBP)
Used to investigate shallow geological layers beneath the seabed, identify sediment interfaces and detect buried features depending on system capability and site conditions.
Marine Magnetometer Survey
Used to detect magnetic anomalies associated with ferrous objects, buried metallic targets, pipelines, cables, wrecks and other magnetic sources.
Shallow Seismic / Seismic Reflection Survey
Used where greater subsurface investigation or penetration is required to understand geological layering and subsurface conditions.
