Hydrographic Survey for Riverbed Erosion |
U.S. Geological Survey were out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyzes the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed.

The ROVs feature 200 horsepower and are rated for operation to a depth of 4,000 metres. Each system includes Schilling's extended-excursion XE Tether Management System and features its Remote Systems Engine technology with gigabit Ethernet, high-definition video capability, and advanced auto functions. ODIM launch and recovery systems, featuring active heave compensation, are integrated with the systems on board Global Industries' new-build
