Sonar Surveys
Hi-Res sonar surveys performed with the Mesotech MS 1000 allow a wide range of uses, due to the instrument's own great versatility.
These surveys are required by engineering and construction firms, public entities..etc., to check the state of conservation of the structures, in the evaluation of the erosional phenomena, risk analysis, in coastal protection interventions..etc, allowing “on the fly” qualitative and quantitative analyses.
The integrated deployment of MS 1000 together with a gyrocompass and a suitable positioning system (DGPS or RTK-GPS), allows georeferencing the images and the resulting sonar mosaic of the scans.

Work in progress monitoring of the positioning of concrete mats
Installing an offset reference on the deploying mat frame, it is possible to speed up and monitor the mats alignment in progress. The “Trackplotter” allows to input survey lines or grid, by checking the right overlapping between mats.
