Hydrographic surveys

Scubabo Quantum specialises in attaining, interpreting, and reporting seabed information and data. Our company provides high-quality hydrographic survey services and support for port and harbour environmental management and habitat mapping. Our experience with Single Beam Echo Sounder (SBES), Multibeam Echo Sounder (SBES), RTK GNSS and mobile laser scanning (MLS) to generate bathymetric maps, models, and survey systems will ensure individual jobs are tailored to their operational needs. Scubabo Quantum’s total hydrographic, bathymetric surveys are conducted exclusively by professionally recognised Certified Hydrographic Surveyors, assessed by the Australasian Hydrographic Surveyors Certification Panel (AHSCP) through the Surveying & Spatial Sciences Institute.

Marine Mammal Observation

Marine Mammal Observers (MMO) are a crucial element of Scubabo Quantum as they ensure our clients are provided with the most current legislative information on marine wildlife sightings. Our team are specialists in the design, implementation and reporting of marine mammal mitigation programs to reduce the impacts of noise pollution on marine mammals, which has allowed our clients to maximise efforts and reach their operational targets.
