Mapping the Surface Below
Within Infinity's advanced measurements toolbox, the firm operates remotely controlled equipment to perform hydro survey services on project sites. This equipment measures bathymetry, the mapping of water bottom elevations and contours.
Infinity's hydro survey system pairs an RTK rover with a transducer/fathometer, providing accurate, georeferenced readings of water bottom elevations. Collected data can be exported as a point file to generate:
Infinity's hydro survey equipment offers distinct advantages:
Remotely controlled and unmanned operation
A small, compact drone boat that mobilizes quickly in practically any body of water, without the need for a launch or ramp
Elimination of personnel risk, since operators do not need to enter the water or work from a boat
When combined with Infinity's laser scanning capabilities, hydro survey data allows the firm to provide clients with a fully integrated GPS map of a site, both above and below the waterline.
