Measurements with lateral sonar

Sonar measurement services

Discover the secrets under water with the help of modern technology, including sonar!

Underwater search is an exciting and challenging activity that allows you to discover the secrets of history, find lost objects and explore the depths of the water body. We offer a wide range of underwater search services using the most advanced technical equipment to ensure accurate and efficient results.

Our technological arsenal:

  • Sonar: High-resolution sonars allow you to precisely scan the bottom of a body of water and determine the location of objects.
  • Magnetometer: Underwater magnetism equipment helps locate metal objects, even if they are buried in silt or sand.
  • ROVs (Operated Underwater Vehicles): ROVs allow for detailed object inspection and underwater manipulation.
  • Video and photo cameras: We use professional video and photo cameras to document the search process and record the objects found.

How we work:

  1. We evaluate your needs: At the beginning, we carefully study your situation and determine the exact search locations and goals.
  2. We develop a plan: We select the most appropriate technical equipment and develop a detailed search plan.
  3. Let's search: Our experienced divers conduct searches using modern technology.
  4. We analyze the results: After the search, we collect and analyze the obtained data.
  5. We provide an opinion: We inform you about the search results and prepare a detailed opinion.

Our advantages:

  • Experience and knowledge: Our team consists of experienced divers and technology experts who are ready to solve tasks of any complexity.
  • Modern technologies: We use the latest technology to ensure accurate and efficient search results.
  • Individual approach: We offer individual solutions for each client, taking into account their needs and budget.
  • Safety and responsibility: We follow all safety rules and regulations while taking care of the ecosystem of the water body.

We deal with side-view sonar measurement works, in freshwater and saltwater aquifers up to 20 meters deep. We can create depth map of the water body, perform underwater search, as well as to detect sunken objects. Contact usto learn more about side view sonar measurements.

How side view sonar works

The following is a video tutorial on the principles of side-view sonar, which is shown on Humminbird side-view sonar units, however, the sonar principles are also applicable to other and professional marine and deep water sonar units.

Lateral sonar structure

The side-facing sonar consists of an underwater antenna, which looks like a rocket with a tied cable, which is immersed in water and towed behind a cutter or ship. The sonar is immersed up to 1/3 of the depth below the wedge for a more accurate and clear image.

The data from the underwater antenna goes either to the data processing equipment, which immediately displays the underwater information on the screen, or to a computer, where a special program simulates the underwater map, in parallel with the marine satellite map.

When collecting sonar data, land transport water transport is slow - 1-3km per hour. The lateral sonar readings and accuracy are affected by current, including propeller current, electromagnetic interference from other equipment, and other conditions.
