Ports and Harbors

Surveying ports and harbors is more than just producing bathymetric charts for the navigation and safe passage of ships, there are enviromental, dissaster recovery, flood mitigation, safety and a multitude of other considerations. iLinks developped their Rapid Deployment Survey Vessels (RDSV) for the specific purpose of  producing  high definition 3D geospatial models of the above and below the waterline condition of port and harbor infrastructure as efficiently and cost effectively as possible. Since their introduction in 2010, iLinks RDSV's have completed numerous projects in ports and harbors around the USA and beyond. "Our Port and Harbor services include, but are not limited to:"

HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYS	TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEYS	DEBRIS CLEARANCE	NAVIGATION SURVEYS
SEABED INVESTIGATIONS	DOCK INSPECTIONS	SALVAGE SUPPORT	ARCHEOLOGICAL SURVEYS

Rapid Deployment Survey Vessel - RDSV

iLinks own and operate ‘Rapid Deployment Survey Vessels’ (RDSV) which have been designed and built specifically to produce high resolution 3D Bathymetry, Side-Scan SONAR, Water Column and LiDAR data, in real-time, and with little or no post processing. The RDSV offers a number of advantages over conventional inshore survey vessels, namely;

Permanently fitted with the latest survey equipment Precisely calibrated and ready-to-go at all times Built-in I7 state-of-the-art computers with dual LED monitors Fitted with HYPACK, HYSWEEP and QINSy software Combined above and below the surface 3D data acquisition Real-time geospatial data without the need for post processing Online quality control of all sensors ensures data integrity Designed for trailer of crane deployment for difficult areas Solid state uninterruptible power supplies (no generators)
