Bathymetry Systems and Survey Equipment
A complete bathymetry system combines sonar, GNSS positioning, motion sensing, sound velocity measurements, water-level observations and acquisition software. Kordil helps select and integrate these components for the survey platform and project requirements.
NORBIT iWBMS
The integrated iWBMS combines multibeam sonar with navigation and motion information. Existing installations remain relevant to coastal survey work. For a new system, assess the current NORBIT range alongside platform compatibility, software and support requirements.
Kordil TG05 Water-Level Measurement
TG05 supports water-level observations used in hydrographic work. The installation, reference levels and observation schedule should be planned alongside the bathymetric survey so that measurements can be related to the agreed vertical datum.
Ohmex SonarMite Singlebeam Echosounder
Compact singlebeam equipment can support positioned depth profiles in small-boat and portable survey installations. The transducer mounting, GNSS connection, sound velocity and water-level reference should be checked as part of the complete setup.
NORBIT WBMS X Multibeam
WBMS X is part of NORBIT’s current multibeam range. Its compact platform supports bathymetric mapping and backscatter acquisition, with configuration selected for the operating depth, survey vessel and navigation requirements.
NORBIT WINGHEAD X Multibeam
WINGHEAD X is NORBIT’s current high-end surface multibeam family for demanding seabed mapping. Depth, resolution, coverage and stabilisation requirements determine the configuration. Existing WINGHEAD i80S/i87S installations should be distinguished from the current X family when specifying a new system.
Baywei Multibeam Systems
Baywei offers multibeam options for different platforms and survey requirements. Selection should consider operating depth, installation space, swath coverage, resolution and integration with the positioning and motion sensors.
AML Oceanographic AML-3 SVP
AML-3 is a modular three-port instrument. Configured with sound velocity and pressure sensors, it records sound velocity against depth for sonar processing. Additional sensor and deployment options should be matched to the project. Profiles should represent the water conditions encountered during the survey.
Kordil GNSS-H4 Positioning
GNSS-H4 provides dual-antenna positioning and heading functions for integrated survey systems. Correction services, antenna offsets and timing connections are configured for the project and the connected sensors.
Kordil KBS200 and KBS30200 Echosounders
KBS200 provides a single-frequency option; KBS30200 provides dual-frequency 30/200 kHz measurements. These singlebeam systems can be combined with GNSS and Kordil Bathymetry Studio for positioned depth acquisition, line guidance and echogram review.
Ping DSP Bathymetry and Side-Scan Sonar
Ping DSP systems combine bathymetric measurements with side-scan imaging. This helps relate acoustic seabed features to measured terrain within the same survey workflow. System configuration, navigation integration and operating conditions determine the achievable coverage and quality.
Kordil Bathymetry Studio
Kordil Bathymetry Studio brings GNSS and singlebeam echosounder data together for survey-line navigation and positioned depth acquisition. Coordinate systems, sensor connections, sound velocity and water-level corrections are considered as part of the setup.
