Coastal Surveys

XOCEAN provides a full suite of Coastal Survey services including multi-beam, sidescan, sub-bottom profiling and magnetometer. We use our UAV at low water and USVs at high water to create seamless, high resolution topographic and bathymetric datasets.

Our Platform

USVs with drafts of 0.6m or less.
XO-450 for longer endurance and greater payload.
XO-250 for deploying at the pipeline/cable landing location and for work in very shallow water.
USVs are equipped with multibeam sonars for 100% coverage bathymetry and backscatter data, sidescan sonar for object detection and sub-bottom profilers for sub-surface imaging.
SenseFly eBee fixed wing UAVs equipped with RGB and multispectral cameras – 12 sq km survey area per flight possible – 2 cm accuracy and resolution.

Typical System Configuration

Single or dual head multibeam echosounder (MBES).
Hull-mounted sidescan sonar (SSS).
