FAQs
What is a bathymetric survey?
A bathymetric survey maps the depth and shape of underwater terrain. It’s used to evaluate sediment buildup, determine water volume, plan dredging, or support infrastructure planning.
How does your survey system work?
Our team uses Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) equipped with sonar to collect depth data safely and efficiently. These systems are ideal for ponds, small lakes, and waterways that are hard to access with traditional survey boats.
What file formats do you provide?
We deliver data in formats compatible with most GIS and CAD platforms, including:
- 3D bathymetric maps
- Cross-sections and contour lines
- Digital Elevation Models (DEMs)
We'll tailor the output to meet your project requirements.
How much does a bathymetric survey cost?
Pricing depends on site size, location, and data requirements. After learning more about your project, we’ll provide a clear scope of work and cost estimate.
Who typically hires Clear Water for bathymetric surveys?
Our clients include engineers, municipal water departments, land developers, and environmental consultants—anyone who needs reliable underwater survey data to make informed decisions.
