SPH Engineering EchoNIMBUS-MBES Multibeam Echosounder Payload

SPH Engineering EchoNIMBUS-MBES Multibeam Echosounder Payload

Main Features:

• 240 kHz multibeam sonar with 16 beams for high-definition bathymetry
• Fully integrated with SkyHub – Drone onboard computer
• Real-time depth measurements through UgCS Custom Payload Monitor
• Compact and lightweight design optimized for drone operations
• Automated data logging and geotagging
• Rapid deployment
• Suitable for tailings ponds, stormwater basins, hard-to-access sites, small reservoirs, and coastal areas where survey boat mobilization is too high.

System Components:

• Surveyor 240/16 MBES sensor
• SkyHub onboard computer
• UgCS EXPERT Software License
• BeamworX software for data processing and point cloud generation
• Power and data cables, mounting kit, user manual
• Set of trainings

Best Conditions for Operation:

• Still and slow-moving waters.
• Stable conditions are required for accurate readings.
• Fast-flowing rivers and creeks can be surveyed using the Zig-Zag flight pattern.

Workflow:

Plan & execute flight using UgCS and True Terrain Following.

Collect bathymetric data with EchoNIMBUS-MBES.

Process and visualize results in BeamworX and DroneGIS.

Export results CSV, GeoTIFF, LAZ and many other formats for GIS import.

Applications:

• Inland water bathymetry (reservoirs, rivers, ponds)
• Tailings pond and mine water surveys
• Sediment volume and erosion assessment
• Environmental and hydro-engineering projects
• Flood mapping and infrastructure monitoring
