Technologies
TerraSond's knowledge and ability to manage new technologies enables us to play a key role in the surveying and mapping industry.
We own and maintain a large suite of complex software and equipment that is necessary for executing accurate land and hydrographic surveying and mapping. The technology includes specialized tools for obtaining measurements and performing calculations on land and water that are essential for creating, editing and analyzing spatial and attribute data.
We support our staff's ability to manage new technologies by providing additional education and training. We also encourage hands-on experience to increase the conceptual understanding of geographic information systems (GIS) and their practical application for our projects.
Hydrographic Data Collection Software
TerraSond has the staff, tools and skills to reduce hydrographic and land survey data.
We maintain a CADD and cartographic staff that can turn reduced field data into finalized digital and hard copy CADD and GIS deliverables. This is a core capability and is utilized in every project requiring CADD drafting. TerraSond works in both AutoCAD and Microstation/Bentley systems for CADD drafting. Drawings are provided in plan view, plan and profile, cross sections and in 3D views.
Our staff of surveyors, hydrographers and geophysical and oceanographic employees can turn raw field data into adjusted, corrected and finalized digital and hard copy deliverables and reports.
CARIS Notebook
CARIS Notebook software allows our digital field survey data to be quickly transferred to our cartographers. This helps our staff efficiently update digital products.
