Our Marine Geophysical Survey Services in the UAE

Bathymetric Survey

We offer comprehensive bathymetric surveys using advanced echo-sounding technology to map underwater topography, ensuring precise data for safe navigation, construction, and dredging operations. Our high-resolution depth maps are essential for designing maritime structures such as ports, bridges, and pipelines.

Side Scan Sonar (SSS) Survey

Our Side Scan Sonar surveys deliver high-resolution seabed imagery, making it easy to detect objects, map seabed features, and conduct archaeological assessments. These surveys are ideal for environmental studies and debris detection in preparation for construction activities.

Seabed Imaging Survey

With seabed imaging surveys, we provide detailed visuals of seabed conditions, enabling effective planning for subsea construction projects. This service is also invaluable for marine resource exploration and environmental research.

Magnetometer (MAG) Surveys

Our magnetometer surveys identify ferrous objects and geological features by measuring variations in the Earth's magnetic field. This service is ideal for archaeological research, environmental assessments, and subsea planning.

Ocean Current Measurements

Smart Projects provides ocean current measurement services essential for designing offshore structures and maritime activities. Understanding current. patterns enables engineers to optimize the placement of wind turbines, oil platforms, and other structures.

Shallow Seismic Survey

Smart Projects provides shallow seismic surveys that use energy waves to explore shallow subsurface structures. These surveys are crucial for identifying sediment layers, faults, and rock formations, ensuring a secure foundation for marine infrastructure projects like wind farms and oil platforms.

Sub-Bottom Profiling (SBP)

We offer sub-bottom profiling services that penetrate the seabed using acoustic waves to reveal geological structures. This technique supports geotechnical investigations and site selection for underwater infrastructure, ensuring risk-free project execution.

Cable & Pipeline Route Identification

We specialize in cable and pipeline route identification to find the safest and most efficient paths for subsea installations. Our services ensure clear, obstacle-free routes, reducing risks and environmental impact during construction and operation.

ROV (Remote Operating Vehicle) Surveys

Using ROVs, we conduct detailed inspections and surveys of subsea installations and structures. Our ROVs capture high-resolution visuals, offering access to hard-to-reach areas supporting construction, repair, and research activities.

Marine Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT)

Our Marine ERT services help analyze subsurface conditions by measuring material resistivity, crucial for detecting contamination, groundwater movement, and assessing geotechnical stability.
