Underwater Sonar Mapping And Detection

Since GPS is ineffective underwater and cameras struggle in low visibility conditions, sonar is an essential tool for subaquatic work. Sonar (sound navigation and ranging) uses sound waves to detect and map objects. Sound waves are sent out, reflecting off objects and returning to the source. The time taken for these waves to return enables distance measurement.

  • Precise ocean depth
  • Sediment and seabed types
  • Unique topographical features
  • Fish species in the area
  • Foreign objects on the seafloor
Sonar Inspection

Sonar Inspection

Our sonar inspection services support offshore infrastructure, vessels and subsea assets. Using high resolution sonar systems, we provide detailed mapping and damage detection even in low visibility waters.

  • Map seabeds and subsea structures with precision
  • Detect anomalies, corrosion or damage on pipelines and platforms
  • Conduct hull inspections without extensive dry docking
  • Identify debris, obstructions or hazards affecting marine operations

Search Operations

When emergencies occur at sea, rapid response and efficient search techniques are vital. Our search operations leverage sonar and advanced technologies to deliver effective results.

  • Systematic search patterns such as parallel sweep, sector and expanding square
  • Sonar assisted detection to locate sunken vessels, equipment or cargo
  • Integration of ROVs and drones for visual verification and recovery
  • Rescue coordination support with maritime authorities for safety management
