How Do Map Sedimentations?
Bathymetric surveys enable us to measure water body depths and also to map the submerged features of the body. Portable sonar, such as that used by Geomount, rapidly measures and records depths to high precision, providing seamless transitions between surface and bathymetric surveys. Using echoed sound from single-beam sonar mounted on an unmanned surface vehicle (USV), Geomount survey teams are able to gather detailed data about streams, rivers, and lake beds, as well as accurately map the submerged terrain. What Nathan is referring to is the capabilities of a single beam sonar device that the Geomount Survey Team is currently using, mounted on the UAV.
Acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) are used to measure the speed of the water by beaming sound waves that bounce off of sediments and structures in the water, data on the flow is used to assist with the mapping of bathymetry. The data collected from the ADCPs are then used to assist with bathymetric mapping.
A rugged, versatile USVs can be equipped with instruments like single- or multi-beam echo-sounders, GNSS RTK receivers, and other sensors to cut down on survey times, increase operational efficiency, and produce high-resolution data that will always meet the requirements of the most demanding hydrographic survey projects. Depth measurements are recorded using the Hydrographic Survey Software and transmitted back to a base station via the radio frequency communications system. The data is visible onboard during the survey in real time.
In addition, the depth data can be exported for further processing and charts. You can measure the sediment depth by subtracting the water depth difference from the sediment’s uppermost part. Once you have determined the area that you want to investigate, the next step is determining sediment depth. The measurements can give you a sense of how much volume you will have to remove, as well as how much deeper you will likely get by drilling.
Simply calculate mud volume in volume in the volume of water-bed models volume at the bottom and the volume of the dredged and the dredged after completion. Users can be saved the dredged amount calculated to files.
The technological problems that need to be solved by the present invention are providing the type of underwater mud amount detected analytical treatment system, the realization of three-dimensional detection to the silt-seams below water bodies, rivers, lakes, and so on, using high-resolution data treatment technologies from the study willingly, for the treatment analysis, and reconstruction of image for detection results. Bathymetric surveys for the dredging dam are essential, as pond floors below water are continuously changing, and thus water volume storage is changing as well.
Geomount’s second-largest miner conducts periodic assessments on pond sedimentation and the water storage capacity of its tailings dams and has used the autonomous Geomount Bathymetric Survey boats to map bathymetry and digitize sediment thicknesses. The results reveal significant differences between volumetric capacity values expected from the Mining Companies’ water treatment and tailings management (WTM) and the results from the bathymetric survey. The trends in elevation changes in a stationary reservoir, including aprons, sand beds, slurry impoundments, and the converging stream segments, were analyzed from the surveying and mapping data as well as from 3D models.
