Engineering seabed imaging applications for StarFish side scan sonar.

STARFISH ENGINEERING

Engineers hate surprises! StarFish can provide a quick, low cost survey of a site prior to the start of any underwater engineering operations and help with key engineering decisions during the life cycle of a project.

StarFish provides engineers with a tool for high speed, shallow water surveys of underwater engineering projects.

Any engineer working on an underwater project knows that they need an accurate map of the project site. The use of divers and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV's) is common - however, operations are very slow and expensive. Using underwater video systems are usually ineffective due to the limited visible range of the camera and the local turbidity conditions. StarFish offers a seabed imaging system optimised for high speed, shallow water surveys that can be carried out without getting your feet wet. Historical StarFish data, for example, can help establish the impact of dredging operations.

StarFish can provide a quick, low cost survey of a site prior to, during and after completion of any underwater engineering project.

Civil engineering projects in and around shallow water need reliable seabed images of the site prior, during and after completion of the construction project. StarFish is a low cost alternative to many of the larger, expensive side scan sonar systems currently on the market. StarFish has the ability to record and playback images of the seabed, and if supported by a GPS receiver, then large underwater sites can be surveyed and the data used to establish the success of any underwater engineering tasks. StarFish is a low cost side scan sonar that will be a great addition to any engineers toolbox - especially if you are involved in the survey of inshore, river, lake, bridge and dam construction or inspection projects.

StarFish can be used in civil engineering projects to inspect or survey construction sites and submerged structures.

StarFish is a low cost alternative to many of the larger, expensive side scan sonar systems currently on the market.

If you have an engineering project that is in or close to shallow water there is a good chance that you will need an accurate map of the seabed. StarFish can help with all aspects of the project including mapping, planning, debris assessment, dredging, construction or inspection or the phases of the project.
