Bathymetric Surveying
Accurate mapping of underwater terrain is essential to perform as-built surveys of constructed stormwater basins to verify pay quantities, and to ensure pond volumes meet the intended designs.
Landform’s professional bathymetric survey services provide high-resolution depth and bottom-contour data for lakes, rivers, reservoirs, channels, and stormwater basins. Using survey-grade sonar systems integrated with GNSS positioning, we capture precise underwater measurements tied to real-world coordinates. Our data supports engineering, permitting, environmental assessment, and construction planning with reliable spatial context.
Bathymetric surveys measure subaqueous elevations and geometry to reveal underwater slopes, shallow zones, and submerged features. We tailor data acquisition methods to site conditions—from small ponds to large open water bodies—to ensure complete and accurate coverage. Data processing yields digital bathymetric models, contour maps, and technical reports formatted for CAD, GIS, and design workflows. These deliverables help you visualize the underwater surface and integrate it directly into your project’s engineering and analysis tasks.
This service benefits civil engineers, planners, environmental consultants, and infrastructure owners who need precise depth information before design or construction. Bathymetric data enhances safety by identifying hazards, supports accurate quantity calculations for dredging or excavation, and reduces risk during water-related construction activities. It also meets the data requirements of regulatory agencies when submitting permit applications or compliance documentation. With our streamlined approach, you gain meaningful subsurface insight without unnecessary cost or delay.
