Dredging automation and monitoring

Services

Dredging automation and monitoring

Dredging control systems, vessel installation and calibration, and hydrographic support for dredging operations.

Description

Dredging automation

A dredging control system uses sensors and software to determine the position of the dredger and its working equipment and to visualise operations in real time. Marine Geodesy supplies integrated hardware and software solutions for this purpose.

The scope of work includes:

Inspection of the dredger and preparation of the installation design.
Design approval with the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping.
Supply of sensors and software.
Installation and calibration on board.
Training for operators and vessel technical staff.
Technical support and repair.

The configuration is selected following a technical visit to the vessel. Equipment is prepared and tested in the laboratory before delivery, followed by installation, calibration and operator training. Hardware and software support is provided through a single project team.

Survey support and monitoring

Marine Geodesy also provides hydrographic and geodetic support for dredging and construction work. The services include seabed surveys, positioning and calculation of dredged material volumes. The required equipment, interfaces and data are agreed for the project.
