Predicting Impact of Fehmarnbelt Link02/06/2009 |
| Before building the new transport link from Denmark to Germany over the Fehmarnbelt, detailed studies of the current environment need to be performed. MacArtney A/S will advise and supply instruments and infrastructure (underwater cables, connectors, terminations, etc.) to monitor life and flow in the strait. |

Building any construction in a marine environment affects water current and marine wildlife, and decisions about which type of link to build cannot be made until accurate projected effects of the marine construction are monitored. MacArtney-supplied instruments will provide information invaluable for the investigation of the before, during and after effects of the construction process and the final link.
MacArtney A/S has helped to design and supply the monitoring stations to be placed in the strait and at the points where a bridge or tunnel is likely to be built. Their experts assisted on selecting and designing the best ways to measure environmental conditions (including current, temperature, salinity and oxygen) on the array of underwater stations in the strait, and were there from the planning stage.
The complete system for the Fehrmarnbelt consists of 10 stations situated along the Danish and German coast lines of the strait and 3 in likely bridge or tunnel positions. They will measure environmental conditions and send real time information to monitoring stations.

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion |
Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while 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 analyses 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.
