Seabed Profiling For Offshore Insights

Seabed profiling is a vital geophysical survey method used to map and analyze sub seafloor layers without intrusive drilling. By leveraging advanced acoustic technology, our team at Leos Maritime provides detailed insights into the structure, composition and thickness of sedimentary layers beneath the seabed. This data is essential for offshore engineering, environmental studies, cable and pipeline route planning and marine construction projects.

How Does Seabed Profiling Work?

How Does Seabed Profiling Work?

  • Acoustic pulse transmission occurs when a transducer mounted on the vessel emits sound pulses vertically toward the seabed.
  • Subsurface interaction happens as part of the signal reflects off the seafloor, while the rest penetrates sediment layers of varying density.
  • Signal return and analysis involve capturing and processing reflected signals to determine sediment composition, thickness and stratigraphic changes.
  • Seafloor mapping transforms data into high resolution profiles showing subsurface features, buried objects or geological boundaries.

Applications Of Seabed Profiling

  • Route surveys for subsea cables, pipelines and offshore structures.
  • Geological hazard assessment to detect buried obstacles, faults or unstable sediments.
  • Environmental baseline studies to understand sediment types, habitats and ecosystem impacts.
  • Port and harbor developments requiring precise subsurface data.
  • Archaeological investigations to locate submerged artifacts, shipwrecks and heritage sites.
  • Support for offshore renewable energy projects such as wind farm foundations.
