In a real-world application conducted in an industrial harbour zone, the NORBIT iWBMS masterfully surveyed an extensive area of approximately 800,000 square meters, generating high-density data in less than three days.
The survey was conducted for various crucial safety and maintenance objectives. By providing accurate bathymetric data, it ensured safe navigation for vessels. The multibeam sonar system expertly handled the varying depths of the water, ranging from less than 2 meters to over 12 meters, illustrating its versatility and reliability.
Notably, the detailed mapping of the seafloor made possible by the NORBIT iWBMS allowed for the identification of potential hazards to navigation, such as underwater obstructions and significant topographic variations. Recognizing these elements contributes significantly to maritime safety, enabling proactive measures to prevent possible incidents.
