Submerged structures such as pipelines, cables, dams, bridge footings etc. require regular inspections in order to ensure their safe operation.<\/p>\n

In some situations, the use of divers alone can be both dangerous and costly. Underwater inspections can be made much more efficient,\u00a0cost effective and safer through the use of modern technology.<\/p>\n

GPR has significant experience in carrying out inspections of the submerged structures of dams in Canada and abroad.<\/h2>\n

The ideal tool for investigations of the submerged portion of dams\u00a0is undoubtedly the swath bathymetry and side-scan sonar<\/a><\/span>. These instruments enable submerged structures \/ objects to be located and examined through the use of acoustic waves which are not affected by water turbidity. The system will produce a high-resolution 3-D model of any submerged structure, such as dam walls and intakes.<\/p>\n

Sub-bottom profiling<\/a><\/span> is ideal for cable and pipeline investigations. \u00a0The sub-bottom profile data can reveal the precise location, depth, amount of sediment coverage or if the cable is suspended off the bottom.<\/p>\n

Georadar is ideal for shallow fresh water sub-bottom profiling.<\/p>\n
