Project Spotlight – Combining Bathymetric and Ground Surveys

The Challenge

A mining client (company confidential) needed reserve estimates and permitted depth data to verify tonnage calculations, dredge operation, and permit compliance.

EARTHRES was selected to perform the survey after careful consideration of expertise and the ability to perform underwater and above ground surveys. Requiring both bathymetric and ground survey to multiple locations at a single site, this project was complex and diverse, requiring a company well versed in performing underwater and above ground surveys. The final product of the project required combining data from underwater and above ground surveys to allow accurate volume calculations and verify compliance with above and below water permit restrictions.
