Generate accurate bathymetric maps, charts, and digital terrain models (DTMs) of the seafloor using survey data. This involves processing raw survey data, interpolating soundings, and creating contour lines to represent underwater features and terrain variations.

4.

Conduct surveys to support dredging operations, including measuring sediment depths, identifying shoals and underwater hazards, and monitoring dredging progress. Provide accurate depth information to guide dredging equipment and ensure safe navigation channels.

5.

Analyze tidal data to account for tidal effects on water levels and soundings during surveying operations. Correct soundings for tidal variations to produce accurate depth measurements relative to a common reference datum.
