Salford Quays Bathymetry Survey
APEM was commissioned to undertake a high resolution bathymetric survey around the Welland Lock gate entrance between the Manchester Ship Canal and Salford Quays. Concerns had been raised over sediment build up which was effecting boat mooring and movement. Salford City Council required a hydroacoustic survey and detailed 3-dimensional map of the basin. This proved invaluable in making decisions about cost effective dredging and re-profiling of the area.
