Our bathymetric survey services
Understanding the underwater terrain is vital for successful pre-construction planning. At Ecliptic Track & Civils Ltd in North London, we deliver professional bathymetric surveying to provide precise water depth measurements and detailed insights into the underwater environment. Our services ensure that your construction projects on or near water bodies are designed with safety and efficiency in mind. Why not get in touch if you have a project planned?
Choosing Ecliptic Track & Civils Ltd for your bathymetric survey needs means partnering with a team that prioritises precision, safety, and efficiency. Our tailored surveys are designed specifically for track and civil engineering applications, ensuring they meet the unique demands of your project.
The role of bathymetric surveys in pre-construction
A bathymetric survey is an underwater mapping process used to analyse seabed features and determine water depth measurements. It plays a critical role in:
-
Planning bridges, tracks, and culverts near water crossings
-
Designing stable foundations for infrastructure in or near aquatic environments
-
Assessing underwater obstructions or sediment conditions
-
Ensuring compliance with environmental and safety standards


How we conduct bathymetric surveys
-
Site Analysis: understanding your project scope and specific water body requirements.
-
Data Collection: using advanced sonar and hydrographic tools to gather accurate measurements.
-
Report Compilation: producing a clear and detailed bathymetric survey report, including maps, contours, and sediment analysis.
-
Integration with Pre-Construction Plans: aligning underwater data with broader civil engineering strategies.
Applications of Bathymetric Surveys
Bridge and Culvert Design: analyse water body dynamics for stable infrastructure.
Flood Risk Assessments: evaluate waterways to minimise flood hazards during construction.
Dredging Levels & Requirements: determine sedimentation levels for safe construction project execution.
Track Alignments Near Water: ensure precise placement of rail and track systems around bodies of water
