Bathymetry is a method used to measure the depth and morphology of the seabed, lakes, rivers, or any other body of water using specialized equipment. Bathymetric surveys are essential for urban planning and land management to assess flood risks, optimize infrastructure planning, and contribute to sustainable water management.
Bathymetry for Your Sector:
Land/Urban Planning
A key step
For Can-Explore, bathymetry is a key first step in the investigation of submerged structures. The data provided helps to target areas of interest where further detailed inspection should be conducted. The 3D model produced allows for the identification of the following types of defects:
- Scouring beneath docks;
- Major structural deformation;
- Large holes or dimensional anomalies.
Applications of Bathymetry:
Mapping the topography of the seabed is useful for a multitude of applications. In the field of urban planning, bathymetry helps to:
Identify flood-prone areas
Bathymetry can help better predict the impacts of flooding on urban infrastructure.
Monitor shoreline erosion
Our experts can develop preservation strategies.
Sediment management
We collect data on sediment accumulation to preserve water quality and the stability of submerged structures.
Contribute to design
Our bathymetric surveys contribute to the design, installation, and maintenance of infrastructure (port facilities, bridges, docks, etc.).
Optimize fisheries resource management
Bathymetry helps map aquatic habitats, facilitating sustainable management and optimization of fishing zones.
