Hydrometrics & Field Services
We have adopted innovative approaches, such as real-time automated data collection, to complement traditional in-person measurements of channel morphology, discharge, and sediment characteristics.
Our field staff has thousands of hours of experience and has been specifically trained to collect accurate and reliable field data, in a safe manner, under demanding conditions.
Field Services
Bathymetric and topographic surveys using RTK‐GPS, groundbased LiDAR, total station, sounders, and sonar.
Installing and maintaining real‐time loggers and earlywarning systems to monitor water level, turbidity, water quality, temperature, precipitation, wind, waves, and flow velocities.
Measuring flow discharge and velocity using acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) in challenging environments including moving bottoms, salt wedges, and rough conditions.
Sampling sediment for hydraulic modeling, sediment budget, Pb210/Cs137 dating, and interpretive geomorphic analysis.
Ice measurements, including airborne LiDAR, sub‐ice flow measurements, and ice strength testing.
