SeaZone Supports EMEC's Wave & Tidal Site Developments

  11/05/2010
Detailed survey data from SeaZone is assisting the European Marine Energy Centre Ltd (EMEC) in expanding the services it offers. EMEC provides developers with the opportunity to test full-scale grid connected prototype devices in unrivalled wave and tidal conditions.

SeaZone Supports EMEC's Wave & Tidal Site Developments

EMEC purchased SeaZone's survey and bathymetry data tiles as part of their information-gathering exercise in extending facilities at their grid-connected sites and developing new scale test facilities. The availability of this data saves time and cost by reducing the need to commission survey work, and consequent dependence on weather conditions.


Digital Survey Bathymetry is a solution to obtaining authoritatively sourced, quality controlled, detailed and accurate information of water depth, essential for a wide variety of applications including environmental modeling, site investigation and other forms of detailed analysis.


EMEC is a global leader in renewable energy research. It is based in Stromness, Orkney where it provides developers with access to challenging marine conditions in which to undertake device development. Developers have access to EMEC's wave, tidal and meteorological monitoring data to assist with their analysis of device performance.

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. 


Gauge height at the Williston gauge was approximately 27.65 feet when this video was taken. Additional information about the USGS streamgauge at Williston is available at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nd/nwis?program=nwisman&site_no=06330000
