Bathymetric and hydrometric surveys

Understand the bed, water body and measurement conditions before making decisions about reservoirs, river structures and water infrastructure.

Connect underwater and land information

Bathymetric information supports the assessment of reservoir geometry, riverbeds and the interfaces between underwater conditions and structures. Where required, combining land and underwater surveys gives designers a more coherent picture of the site.

EBS's recorded work includes Banja and Moglica reservoirs, Lake Shkodra and combined topographic, bathymetric and sediment studies at lakes in Kosovo. The records distinguish single-beam and MultiBeam Echosounder (MBES) methods and the specific survey scope. Hydrometric monitoring is a related service that can be scoped separately.

Define the measurement programme

Single-beam and MultiBeam Echosounder (MBES) bathymetric surveys
Combined topographic and underwater models
Reservoir and riverbed survey information
Sediment-study inputs within the agreed scope
Hydrometric measurements and monitoring requirements

Prepare a usable brief

Send the water-body location, survey boundary, intended use, water-level reference and any previous measurements. Describe whether you need baseline geometry, comparison with an earlier survey or information for a particular hydraulic structure. Access and operating conditions form part of the survey planning.
