Texas Sediment Survey for Dredge Planning

Pond Medics created a bathymetry and a sediment volume study for a property owners association in Texas. The lake was mapped to understand current water depths and to calculate the amount of accumulated sediment. This is essential information to plan and help the POA manage the future dredging project.

Power Station Predredge Survey for Ash Pond Dredging Project

The Mapping Network team performed a hydrographic predredge survey on a large ash reservoir for a power station in Kansas. The purpose was to quantify and locate ash accumulation that needed to be dredged per EPA regulations. By comparing the original bottoms of the ponds with the current bottom depths, a computer model calculated the location and amount of material. The power company and dredge contractor will use this information to assist in validating that all the…

Estimating Dredging Costs in Texas

The Mapping Network and PondMedics completed a bathymetry and sediment survey for a lake near Dallas, Texas. The client is preparing for dredging proposals for 9 coves and they needed to know the location and amount of material to be removed to bring the coves to the desired depths. The current water depths were mapped as well as the depth to hard bottom. The difference between the current water depth (top of sediment) and the…

Post Dredge Comparison Map

The Mapping Network completed a post dredge bathymetry survey to show the status of a multiple cove dredging project on a lake near Kansas City. The comparison map was calculated to verify the amount and location of material removed. Areas still needing to be dredged are located and the dredging contractor will focus their efforts on those locations. This verifies the dredging has reached the planned depths.

Coal Plant Ponds Bathymetry

The Mapping Network team surveyed two ash ponds for a coal power plant. The purpose was to quantity and locate ash accumulation in the pond because it needed to be removed per EPA regulations. By comparing the original bottoms of the ponds with the current bottom depths, a computer model calculated the location and amount of material. The power company used the information to assist with bids for dredging contractors to remove all the material….

Sediment Volume Calculation for Dredge Project

The Mapping Network and Aquatic Environmental Services completed a sediment survey for a lake near Atlanta, Georgia. The current water depths were mapped as well as the depth to hard bottom. The difference between the current water depth (top of sediment) and the hard bottom is the amount of soft sediment that can be removed to bring the lake back to the original depths. The client is preparing for dredging proposals for two coves and…
