What can we offer?
Hydroacoustics is an example of APEM's use of innovative technology to obtain the highest quality data and develop valuable new services for our clients. This sophisticated and highly versatile tool offers a number of significant surveying benefits. It is a non-intrusive, cost-effective way to assess large waterbodies. Data are collected rapidly with GPS co-ordinates logged for uploading to GIS. We investigate fish stocks, plankton and macrophyte communities. In addition we perform bathymetric profiling and sediment typing from the acoustic signature of the bed and can quickly and accurately calculate reservoir volumes and sedimentation rates.
