Hydrographic Survey of Missouri River for Gas Pipeline

The Mapping Network and Engineering firm team up to map the bottom of the Missouri River

The Mapping Network was on the Missouri River performing a hydrographic survey on a portion of the river where a new gas pipeline would be crossing.  The pipeline is buried  below the river bottom and knowing the existing bottom of the Missouri River is crucial to engineers placing the pipeline correctly.

The survey team was able to finish the project on time despite dodging rogue chunks of  trees, sandbars and other mysterious items floating down the river. The resulting map shows many features you would expect to find on the Missouri River.
