Positioning data drives every cut a dredge crew makes. Yet standard Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning often reports a location several meters away from the cutterhead’s actual position. The accuracy gap may sound technical, but the costs show up as real-world rework, compliance failures, and margin erosion. Real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning closes that gap

For survey supervisors and procurement specialists, sonar selection is a decision with project-wide consequences. Survey conditions and project requirements, not technological advancement alone, determine the right choice for your needs. Single-beam sonar operates along a single track line and sends one ping at a time, measuring depth at one position. Multibeam sonar, by contrast, captures

Applanix has recently introduced POSPac Go! – a new feature to their industry leading GNSS-aided inertial post-processing software POSPac. It is an automated method of processing RTK corrections used during data acquisition to develop a smoothed best estimate of trajectory (SBET) file for use in a wide array of hydrographic survey packages. As with the

Measutronics has joined the international Get Kids into Survey (GKiS) community in an effort to fuel the interest of future generations in everything geospatial. GKiS began in 2017 with a single poster that would help children understand what their parents do at work. It has since grown to include several posters depicting different surveying scenarios,

Why would you put SONAR on a construction barge? Click the play button below to hear from Lou Nash, President of Measutronics Corporation as he answers this question in Episode 4: Sonar Provides “Eyes Underwater” for Marine Construction on Teledyne Marine’s Marine Tech Talk podcast.
Measutronics joined Trimble at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020, North America’s largest construction trade show, in Las Vegas, NV in March. Measutronics, a Trimble Advanced Marine Partner (AMP), demonstrated Trimble’s latest marine construction guidance systems using Trimble Marine Construction (TMC) software. TMC was displayed on a monitor and mirrored a typical setup an excavator operator might use in
