General Description Bathymetric multi beam Survey work
SURVEY:
The EM 3002 multi beam system will be used for the deep area, (from -4.00 and more). Sailing
lines will be established with reference to the Base line of the Project. This will be 100 mts apart.
The multi Beam System consists of dual Sonar heads and it will cover on both sides of the
vessel. Coming area is depending upon the existing depth. Usually it will be 10-12 times of the
depth on left and right side of the vessel. The minimum coverage will be 50 mts on left and 50
mts on right, if the depth is 4.50 mts and in the deeper areas it will be over lapped for the
observed information. The observation of data will be 1 sec. (appendix-7).
Trimble MS 750 Receiver will be used for the observation of position. Data collection will be
done at every 1 sec. as the same will be done from the depth data collection. The positioning will
be done in UTM System with WGS 84 Global Geodetic System (Appendix-8).
Before the commencement of any activity in the area of the works an in survey will be
performed in both onshore and offshore works using the survey equipment.
In the offshore area the survey will be carried out using a survey boat, which will sail along the
imaginary lines, approx 20 m apart from each other, and at right angles to the axis of the channel.
4. For the topographic survey the same grid system will be maintained. In areas where there are
slopes the survey lines will be closer intervals.
The Shallow area the single beam Echo Sounding System will be used by small motor boat. A
20x20m system will be established over the area to be dredged. The axis will be setup in such a
manner so that the angle between the cut and base survey line will be approx right angle. By this
way a higher accuracy for the survey and quantity calculation will be ensured. If a grid system
exists already then this will be checked by Company and will be used for all surveys.
General Description Bathymetric & topographic Survey work
The procedure describes bathymetric survey works and gives information on the mobilization
and installation of the survey equipment prior to the start of the survey.
The results from the topographic survey and bathymetric survey shall be combined, and contours
will be generated on the terrain model.
Hydrographic measurements will be carried out within the accuracy /tolerance specified in the
contract.
All activities are intended to be executed in line with guidance provided via IHO Standards for
Hydrographic Surveys SP44 IHO.
The Bathymetric activities will include, but not limited to:
- Establishment of horizontal control (Positioning system)
- Establishment of vertical control and temporary benchmarks
- Installation and calibration of automatic tide gauge and, or manual tide boards
- Mobilization of survey vessel
- Installation and calibration of survey equipment on board survey vessel, based on the
manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations.
Data Processing, Charting and Reporting
Survey data collected by RTK GPS will be downloaded and backed up daily. Survey data
collected by Total Station will be stored in the instrument’s internal memory. The data will be
downloaded to a PC running “Leica Geo Office Tools” software via RS232 serial cable and will
be backed up daily. Upon completion of the survey, data will be processed using AutoCAD.
Establishment of Tide Gauge
Manual tide gauge will be utilized to monitor the water level. Prior to its installation, suitable
locations will be set out for fixing the tide gauge in order to cover the entire working area.
5. The level at the tide gauge will be established by closed loop leveling from the nearest available
benchmark, accepted by the Engineer. The purpose is to establish a Temporary Benchmark
(TBm) on the tide gauge. The tide gauge will then be checked from the TBm and verified as
being accurate on a monthly basis. Tidal data will be recorded manually, for bathymetric survey
every 10 minutes, and every 20 minutes over a continuous period until the project is completed.
Positioning system
Hydro Pro survey navigation software from Trimble shall be used and the GPS set DSM232, also
from Trimble, is the positioning system to use, collecting signal from U.A.E. beacons. All
positional data shall be related to Universal Transverse Mercator Grid, Zone 40N, WGS 84 as
required.
Sounding
A precision hydrographic echo sounder, ODOM Hydrocrack single (210khz) frequency shall be
used to carry out the bathymetric survey and has the required minimum specifications. It will be
set up in the harbor before the start of the survey. Tidal bar checks will be performed before and
after survey. Echo soundings shall be reduced to Admiralty Chart Datum.
Sounding works shall be carried out only in favorable sea and weather conditions
Calibration of GPS ( Global Positioning System)
Global Positioning System Position Check
The Hydrographic surveyor and the Client’s representative will do position check at known point
and/or on top of survey vessel’s GPS antenna and check it against the actual coordinates
established by GPS rover or by Total station.
Echo sounder Calibration
Since depth measurement accuracy is dependent on the value used for the velocity of sound in
water, it is important that a realistic value for sound velocity be determined. Understandably
then, the local sound velocity may vary widely, thereby resulting in the need to calibrate any
type of echo sounder, in order to provide the most accurate depth data at a given time.
The most common calibration technique is the BARCHECK method. This method, when
employed properly, has the advantage of correcting for velocity variations, draft variations, and
6. system index errors. When calibrating using the Bar Check method, acoustic returns are
generated by a suspended target which is lowered to a known depth between the transducer and
the bottom. Draft (using index adjustments) is calibrated when the BAR is at the shallowest
depth (where velocity has the minimum effect) and Velocity only when the BAR is lowered to
greater depths (where velocity becomes predominant). Bar checks shall be performed before and
after day’s work
Topographic System Description
The positioning system consists of 2 GPS- RTK receivers. One of the receivers is used as Base
Station and it is installed on a point with known coordinates e.g. existing control point. The GPS
Base Station obtains the position information from the GPS satellites, compares it with its known
position and transmits corrections to the rover GPS receiver, in real time, through a high
telemetry link.
The rover GPS receiver is carried in a backpack with the antenna fixed on a survey pole. The
receiver is connected to a data logger or laptop which is running survey data logging software.
The rover receiver obtains the position information from the GPS satellites and applies the
corrections sent by the Base station. Through these corrections, errors of the system induced by
atmospheric conditions, timing errors and deliberate degradation of the system by USA Defense
are cancelled out and RTK centimeter accuracy is achieved on the surveyed points. Originally,
GPS receivers provide coordinates in WGS84 Datum. Through the transformation parameters
given above the system is configured to measure and display coordinates in local datum. Total
Station and standard land survey techniques will be used in addition to the system described
above depending on site conditions (presence of obstructions, low reception areas etc).
Topographic survey for on-shore area
The topographic survey works will be performed to record the existing physical features within
the entire area as required by the works. The coordinates and levels will be measured by the total
station from the approved survey control points.
Topographic survey will include all existing structures, services, site features and topographic
details present in the survey area.
7. Spot levels will be surveyed on all existing features and along areas of significant level changes.
Additional levels will be surveyed on open areas at sufficient intervals to provide a detailed
model of existing terrain and allow contour generation as mentioned in the contract specification.
Survey will extend up to the low tide line on the shoreline and will include the existing jetties
located on site. Survey will cover all areas that will be affected by construction as well as the
areas intended for site lay down and compound area.
Levelling works for on-shore area
A base line will be established at an interval of 10m to cover all the working area. Temporary
pegs and spray marks will be set out with an interval of 10m or 20m. Elevations will be observed
using (Nak 2) automatic level and leveling staff. Furthermore, the leveling works will be carried
out by total station.
