Survey Planning & Management
Xodus Aurora has extensive experience of undertaking inshore hydrographic, bathymetric and meteorological surveys in support of consent applications and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA). Equipment held in-house includes Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP), meteorological stations and depth sounders. Hydrographic and bathymetric survey work is fully supported by our in-house modeling (e.g. Depomod and AutoDepomod) and GIS mapping capabilities.
Visual impact assessment is a common requirement for inshore and coastal planning applications and our team has wide experience in undertaking visual and landscape impact surveys. This is fully supported by the Xodus CAD team and our GIS mapping capabilities.
Xodus Aurora also has many years' experience of designing and managing offshore survey. Such surveys may include seabed sampling (chemical and biological) either for baseline or ongoing monitoring, cetacean surveys (e.g. marine mammal observers) and other surveys such as ROV, side-scan bathymetry and photographic habitat surveys.
