Survey Platforms
• Davidson– Mother Ship– Reson 8111– Bottom Samples
Davidson
D2R2
• R2/D2– Reson 8101– Bottom Samples– Capable of Shoreline
Verification

Concept
• Due to the magnitude of the project and the areas to be surveyed, we thought this could be the right environment for a tilted head.– Survey Plan and Breakdown (Chatham Strait and Krenitzin Islands):
• Total of 22 Survey Sheets.• Approx. 700 Sq NM area to survey.• Approx. 350 NM of coastline to survey and verify.
• Fugro Pelagos, Inc. (FPI) has been conducting surveys with a rotated MB head since 1999.– Normally used for :
• Breakwater Surveys - where data is require to the water line.• Reservoir Surveys - volume computations.• Navy Surveys (vertical profile of berthing walls).
– Survey Technique.• Conventional method we use is to always stay on our data in near shore
areas.

Shoreline Skiff (a.k.a. Lil’ Dude)
• Reson 8125 (rotated ~30 degrees to starboard)• 4m survey work• Shoreline Verification• Transit @ 25-30 knots (with pole up)

As depth increases, more data is lost than gained

Survey Operations
• Triton ISIS for data acquisition• Bathy Pro for Real-time display• WinFrog (Navigation Software)

Survey Operations
• Instead of having to run multiple lines to achieve the 4m contour, it usually took just one.
• Color coded DTM’s and NOAA charts were displayed as background layers in either ISIS (Bathy Pro) or WinFrog.

Examples
• 8101 data from R2 (No Tilt).

Examples
• Combined Data Set (8101 from R2 and Rotated 8125)

Conclusions
• Pros:– The SAFETY factor.– Increased productivity on achieving the 4m contour.– Increased productivity for shoreline verification.
• Cons:– Could only run lines in one direction when conducting the nearshore
work.
