Reveal the Conditions Shaping Your Project

Bathymetric & Marine Geophysical Surveys

WGI combines specialized hydrographic surveying expertise with industry-leading technology to document submerged terrain and infrastructure, provide dense and accurate digital terrain models, and identify seafloor materials and conditions, giving project teams accurate data for planning, design, construction, and maintenance.

Underwater Mapping Technology

Detailed Insight into Subaquatic Conditions

Hydrographic survey technology uses a variety of different sonar systems combined with precise positioning to document underwater environments with detailed spatial accuracy. These technologies allow WGI to map submerged conditions and translate complex measurements into usable project data.

High-Resolution Sonar Imaging

Produce detailed imagery of subaquatic features and bottom type classification to clarify underwater conditions that cannot be visually inspected.

Dredging Quantity Analysis

Compare underwater surface conditions to accurately calculate material volumes throughout the project life cycle.

Assess How Changing Underwater Terrain Affects Infrastructure

Scour and sediment deposition can gradually alter the terrain that supports marine and waterway infrastructure. Repeat hydrographic surveys document these changes, allowing teams to evaluate structural concerns and determine appropriate maintenance actions.

  • Measure scour depth and extent relative to foundations and structural supports.
  • Track sediment accumulation that could affect drainage, access, or navigation.
  • Document changing conditions to support dredging, maintenance, and capital planning.

Reduce Project Risk with Hydrographic Surveying

Work with WGI to uncover hidden site conditions and make informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle.
