Marine Survey

ABPmer operates a survey team which completes hydrographic and field investigations throughout the UK and internationally. Our equipment pool carries an extensive range of instrumentation for bathymetric surveying, 2D and 3D flow monitoring, water levels, float tracking, multi-parameter water recording, grab sampling and coastal-zone mapping. This is backed up by a fully equipped sediment analysis laboratory and computer facilities for data analysis, data presentation and map and chart production.

Services include:

• Survey design, planning, management and reporting.
• On-site representation for QA purposes.
• Readily deployed nearshore and river survey vessel and access to a third party 3-man hovercraft.
• Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS for topographic and bathymetric survey work. This allows for measurement
• Single and Multi-beam bathymetric surveying.
• Water Quality monitoring (suspended solids, salinity, temperature, etc).
• Sediment density measurement by nuclear transmission gauge for the determination of fluid mud and silt densities, and navigable depths.
• Sediment sampling and surface coring for physical and chemical analysis.
• In-house sediment analysis for Particle Size Analysis (PSA) and suspended solid content, including
• Benthic sampling for species monitoring.
• Current profiling using acoustic doppler profiling technology. Static deployments from bed frames
• Wave measurement.
• Vessel dynamics measurement for under-keel clearance and mooring
• Wide range of data analysis and presentation services including bespoke programming solutions and automatic report generation.
