Hydrographic Survey and Mapping

Cinquini & Passarino has always been at the forefront of new and emerging technologies. One of the latest technologies we have recently implemented is the integrated use of an echo sounding transducer and our high precision survey grade GPS equipment.

Although use of an echo sounder for capturing depth readings during surveys for reservoirs, ponds and rivers has been used for a long time and is a proven technology, our unique ability to easily integrate a hydrographic survey with our best of the class topographic mapping will save you time and money over conventional methods.

This integration allows our field crews to quickly and easily switch from GPS topographic surveying to GPS hydrographic surveying in a matter of minutes. Combining these two technologies also enables our office staff to easily and more efficiently combine a hydrographic survey with an upland topographic survey, resulting in a shorter project duration for you. This particular echo sounder uses a single beam transducer with a narrow beam width of 9 degrees. This narrow beam ensures that the depth readings are accurate, giving you the confidence that our hydrographic mapping will also be accurate, every time.
