Surveying with UK-based survey company Ultrabeam Hydrographic

Ultrabeam Hydrographic, a UK-based hydrographic survey company with over 30 years of experience in coastal geophysics and offshore surveying, has completed numerous projects across the UK and Europe, including bathymetric surveys, geophysical surveys, bridge inspections, harbor and dock surveys, and wreck surveys. Ultrabeam utilizes innovative technology and methods to deliver precision results to its clients, which include ports and harbors, utility companies, offshore renewable energy, oil & gas, and public sector marine industries. Gabriel Walton, co-founder of Ultrabeam, specialized in high-resolution multibeam surveying of shipwrecks 12 years ago. He worked on a number of famous shipwrecks, such as the Costa Concordia and the Rena in New Zealand, and developed a unique set of acquisition techniques and an understanding of ultra-high-resolution sonar surveys. This knowledge led him to develop unique sonar platforms and mechanically actuated sonar mounts designed to produce clear, detailed survey data at close-range and in challenging conditions.
