Seafloor (USA) was established in 1999, specializing in providing unmanned survey ships (USVs) integrated with Sonar scanning technology used for hydrographic measurements, mapping underwater geographical features, surveying close to dangerous or difficult-to-reach waters. Up to now, Seafloor has designed many USV lines with diverse sizes and features, suitable for different requirements of customers. In addition, the company also developed more sensors and measuring devices to add to the USV in order to collect more data and increase accuracy in the survey process.
I. Application:
- Collect data to map, determine the depth of the bottom of rivers, lakes, reservoirs, seas, hydroelectric dams...
- Surveying and checking water quality in lakes, rivers, ports, wastewater treatment plants, complex water areas, difficult to access.
