BATHYMETRY: CANAL DIGITIZATION (USV)

• Specially-designed Catamaran and Rugged USV drone for

challenging canal conditions especially grassy, debris
scattered dirty waters

• Accurate data acquisition

• High density of data recording up to 833 data/km (1.2m

interval)

• Implementation of GNSS with PPK accuracy up to cm

(optional)

• Coupled with UAV mapping to accurately estimate canal’s

Volumetric Calculations

• Simple data upload for analysis or provided by Avirtech.co

• Data on spatial, can use for study of sedimentation rate and

Unmanned Surface Vessel easy to find historical
CALIBRATION WITH STAKE OUTS

Stake out using boats (canal center) Stake outs on canal sides

Result Error Correction Rate: +20cm

*Stake outs are used before each canal position is measured to measure Error correction rate (cm), which is used to correct Bathymetric
results due to water density, viscosity, salinity, mud level and all other factors affecting echosounder pings. POC shows error correction
rates are consistent between peat and marine clay water, with and without traffic

HOW DO WE TEST & COMPARE?
 Testing Devices  Sampling Method
• Stake out Stick • Sampling technique is Purposive Sampling
• Avirtech USV • 6 Sampling points (10x repetitions)
• Altimeter/ Echosounder • Reading of all devices simultenously together
• Bottle Sampler by putting them near to each other
• GPS • Done in pool with geo-membrane base
• Tally sheet for canal depth measurement

Canal Width

USV
Original Ground Level (OGL)
Current Water Level

USV Transducer pings (water depth)

Sedimentation
Canal Bottom (narrower by 3m)
Trapezium volume cut out

Canal Depth = Water Depth + OGL + Transducer Depth

FIELD: SAMPLE RESULT (WITH ANOMALIES) Distance : 1.500m
Soil Type : Peat
Activity : Progress Maintenance
Method : 2 lines
Original Data

• Found data out of range from average depth, likely

blocked by debris, plants, fish or wood inside the canal
• Total data: 2.814 points

Post Processing Data

• Eliminate data out of range from average depth

• Total data: 2.112 points
BATHYLINK SOFTWARE SNAPSHOTS
Key Features
• Tabular & Graphical display with colour coding for easier
identification
• Export to SAP Report
• Export graphs and support re-qc process
• Work offline to show to canal vendor directly on site
• Configurable STA for future support
ANALYTICS: BEHAVIOUR CHANGE

Based on timeline analysis, shows there is Substantial Positive Behavioral Change by Canal Maintenance

CANAL DIGITALIZATION ADVANTAGES

Cost Saving Higher Accuracy

Significant savings of more Centimeter contour survey
than 50% with selective compare to manual stake out
maintenance of hundreds meters

Time Saving
Reduce up to half of
Better Safety
Safety for engineers without
maintenance time
traversing in the canals/rivers

Less Manpower More Deliverables

Less engineers to cover the Lot more digitalized and
same area actionable deliverables for
volumetric calculation
