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.
Sub-bottom Profilers
We use sub-bottom profilers to identify and characterize layers of sediment or rock under the seafloor. Sub-bottom profilers reflect sound pulse off of the seafloor and can provide useful information on different sub-floor sediment layers, their thickness, and position.
EdgeTech 3200-XS
The EdgeTech 3200-XS Sub-bottom Profiling System is a high-resolution wideband Frequency Modulated (FM) sub-bottom profiler. The system transmits an FM pulse that is linearly swept over a full spectrum frequency. The acoustic return received at the hydrophones is passed through a pulse compression filter, generating … 
SyQwest Stratabox
The StrataBox is a portable high-resolution marine sediment imaging instrument capable of delivering 6 cm of sediment strata resolution with bottom penetration of up to 40 meters. It is designed exclusively for inshore and coastal geophysical marine surveys up to 150 meters of water depth.
