Kleven Spain is one of a small number of private firms registered to undertake hydrographic surveys.

Equipment used for hydrographic surveys includes:

Survey vessel – 5m Osprey, Registration 30235QC, USL Class 2C, 2D & 2E
Sounder – Ceeducer Pro digital dual frequency echo sounder 200/30KHz
Survey vessel – 1.9m remote control boat rigged with digital sounder & RTK GPS.
Datum – RTK GPS with connections to a minimum 2 known value PSM’s

Remote Control Survey Boat

Utilises the same sounding & RTK GPS equipment as the 5m Osprey, thereby maintaining a high degree of accuracy in data acquisition. Data is transferred instantaneously via a radio link from the boat to the laptop located nearby on shore, which is later reduced and sorted to produce the end product.

Excellent for acquiring data in lakes, ponds, dams, rivers etc. No boat ramps or vehicle access required.
