Petrobras Positioning Contract for Veripos

  27/05/2010
Veripos has been awarded a three-year contract by the Survey Department of Petroléo Brasileiro S/A (Petrobras) for provision of high-accuracy GNSS positioning services in support of rig moves as well as operation aboard sixteen specialist support vessels engaged in pipelay, anchor-handling and flowline installation operations.


Under the contract, Veripos will provide its high-precision Standard GPS augmentation service with a typical correction update rate of 15 seconds. Associated hardware supplies include LD3-D integrated mobile demodulators for use in conjunction with Petrobras-provided GPS receivers plus, UHF receivers for accessing both the Brazilian company's own reference network and Veripos Standard service signals.

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
