Fast and safe survey of Shallow Water, Estuarine & Coastal Locations

The Oceanscience Z-Boat 1800 is a fast, reliable, accurate, and surveyor-tested remote survey system. With an echosounder selected specifically for use on a remote vessel, the Z-Boat 1800 can be configured to suit every survey challenge and budget. The side scan option brings crystal clear bottom imagery to the Z-Boat 1800 system.The Oceanscience Z-Boat is a robotic survey vessel that enables hydrographic survey professionals to quickly, accurately and safely collect and analyse shallow inland bathymetry data.Survey technicians are able to stay safe and dry on shore while the Z-Boat travels through a water body collecting geo-referenced depth information from an onboard shallow water single beam survey system.Instead of mobilising a manned boat or putting people on the water in a hazardous location survey, simply launch the Z-Boat and start surveying immediately. The Z-Boat echosounder and GPS are integrated with a radio modem data transmission system allowing the operator to view the boat track in real time on the shore laptop. Not only can soundings be reviewed as the data is collected, but survey lines can be easily followed with help from the laptop display.The Z-Boat’s portable design makes it quick and easy to transport from pond to pond by a single technician that also helps speed up the survey process and lower costs.
