Bathymetric surveys allow us to measure the depth of a water body as well as map the underwater features of a water body. Multiple methods can be used for bathymetric surveys including multi-beam and single-beam surveys, ADCPs, sub-bottom profilers, and the Ecomapper Autonomous Underwater Vehicle. We have done bathymetric surveys for many different types of research including contour of streams, stabilization, water-quality studies, biological and spill, and storage.

Current Meter - Ocean Currents and Survey Collaborations
Ocean currents have a significant influence on global climate patterns, spanning thousands of kilometers and forming the intricate network known as the global conveyor belt. At MadhuBoats, we have assisted our clients in conducting measurements of ocean currents to better understand their behavior and impact.
