RESON performs in the East
RESON has sold its SeaBat 8125 multibeam echosounder to Brisbane, Melbourne and Newcastle to support their hydrographic survey and dredging activity within the strict environmental guidelines set by the Australian government. ” The imagery that we have been able to produce with the 8125 system has enabled us to have a much clearer understanding of what is required to deliver an environmentally sustainable and technically feasible outcome, ” according to Paul Downie of the Port of Melbourne hydrographic survey crew. Newcastles system is expected to ” revolutionise depth surveys in the port, ” according to its surveyor.
Fewer tractors are required to do the same amount of work, lowering capital investment as well as variable costs for labour, fuel and maintenance.
The Port of Tokyo has also installed a SeaBat 8125 in its survey fleet. The system is capable of measuring a 120infinity swath across the seafloor, detecting the bottom and then delivering the measured range at a depth resolution of 6 mm.
The ports of London, Tyne and Bristol also installed RESON multibeam echosounders during 2004.
