Side Scan Sonar Provides Visual Aid in Hydrographic Survey

Side Scan Sonar is Valuable Tool for The Mapping Network The Mapping Network offers side scan sonar capabilities to efficiently create an image of the lake bottom. Side scan sonar imagery is commonly used as a tool to detect features under the surface of the lake such as structure, debris, old channels, trees, pipes, old roads, etc. These side scan images are typically acquired along with bathymetric surveying and sub-bottom (sediment) mapping. Common applications for…

Sediment Mapping and Analysis Project from Foster Lake Management

Foster Lake Management recently completed a mapping project for a home owners association in North Carolina. The inlet area of the lake is suffering from sediment buildup. The overall goals of the lake mapping project involved surveying the depths of the entire lake, collecting sediment depth samples, calculating the amount of sediment currently in the inlet area and creating a dredge plan for a minimum water depth of 3 feet. Foster Lake Management collected water…
