Underwater Technology User Seminar in the Middle East
Unique Group (UG), UAE, in association with Kongsberg Maritime and Bayanat , is conducting a survey event in the Middle East, titled ‘Underwater Technology User Seminar 2015’ and taking place in Abu Dhabi, UAE from 20 - 22 April 2015. Kongsberg Maritime is launching the EM2040C Compact multibeam echosounder in the Middle East at the occasion of this event.
The Kongsberg EM 2040C is a shallow water multibeam echosounder based on the EM 2040 technology, an ideal tool for any high resolution mapping and inspection applications. The receiver and transmitter are integrated in a common sonar head. The system fulfills and even surpasses the IHO-S44 special order and the more stringent LINZ specification. The operating frequency range is from 200 to 400KHz with frequency selection in steps of 10kHz, enabling the user to choose on the fly the best operating frequency for the application.
As a part of the event schedule, a wide range of underwater mapping & imaging systems will be showcased to clients within the region. Some of these include the Kongsberg GeoAcoustics Geoswath Compact Bathymetry System, Pulsar Side Scan Sonar System, the Kongsberg range of underwater cameras and sub-bottom profilers, µPAP, among many others. A host of interactive presentations by underwater survey specialists will be conducted on topics ranging from hydroacoustics, geoacoustics, multibeams, sub-bottom profilers, HPR and µPAP to underwater cameras. However, the major highlight of the seminar is a live boat demo on the EM2040C Compact wideband multibeam echosounder at Bayanat jetty.
The post processing of the multibeam echosounder data are presented using the CARIS HIPS and SIPS software.
