what we've done
Past Projects
Dive into a world where precision meets innovation as we offer an array of specialized marine services designed to navigate the complexities of hydrographic surveying and contracting.
Take a look at our previous projects:
Vancouver Harbour Bathymetric Survey
Our hydrographic surveying project of Vancouver Harbour for the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority focused on collecting precise and accurate bathymetry and metadata to map the underwater terrain of this vital maritime area. Utilizing high-resolution multibeam sonar, inertial navigation, and GPS technology, the survey provided detailed charting of water depths and submerged structures. This essential information supports safe navigation, environmental monitoring, and infrastructure development, contributing to the sustainable management of Vancouver’s bustling harbour.
All survey data was collected to meet the Canada Hydrographic Services (CHS) “Standards for Hydrographic Surveys” for “Special Order Surveys with Type C Coverage”.
Templar Channel - District of Tofino
High resolution multibeam survey of Templar channel for surface modelling and emergency planning purposes. The survey was completed with our Norbit iWBMSh STX and adhered to CHS standards for special order hydrographic surveys. The survey area consisted of 1250 ha of seabed over multiple field days in varying sea conditions!
Brucejack Lake Survey
High resolution multibeam survey of Brucejack lake to provide client with current lake bed elevations for sediment monitoring. The survey was completed using our Norbit iWBMSh STX high resolution multibeam sonar system.
Howe Sound Pulp & Paper Corporation – Lake No. 7 Survey Port Mellon, B.C.
Bathymetric survey of Lake No.7 to calculate water volumes for production forecasting at HSPP. Lake No.7 serves as the main water source for the pulp and paper mill production. Equipment was flown up via. helicopter with a long line setup used to transport the boat. The surveying was completed using a 10′ RIB survey vessel and Ross 825B survey grade echo-sounder. Positioning was done with our Trimble S6 robotic total station and our Trimble R8 GNSS GPS receiver.
Victoria International Marina Victoria, B.C.
Sub-contract to Vancouver Pile Driving Ltd. to supervise the on site dredging operations for the proposed marina basin, and to perform all hydrographic surveying required throughout the project. The surveying was done on-board MCCOI Marine ltd. 24′ survey vessel using a Ross 825B survey grade echo-sounder.
Esquimalt Graving Dock – Sediment Remediation Project Esquimalt, B.C.
Sub-contract to CRA Canada Surveys Inc. to perform 3rd party hydrographic surveying for dredging operations performed by Fraser River Pile & Dredge (GP) Inc. Surveying done on-board CRA Canada Surveys Inc. 19′ survey vessel using a Reson Seabat 8124 multibeam sonar system.
Boleo Marine Terminal Santa Rosalia, Mexico (BCS)
Sub-contract to Vancouver Pile Driving Ltd. to perform survey calculations and layout for pile driving operations during construction of 4 mooring dolphins for newly constructed ship terminal. The project consisted of a complex design of vertical and batter pilings supporting a concrete structure.
