McLaren’s surveying team has been performing hydrographic surveys around New York with the Teledyne Marine zboat. This new technology can handle shallow water and safely access difficult marine environments where conventional methods utilizing our manned boats are not feasible.
Our surveyors collected single-beam sonar data using this remote-control Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) on recent projects like the bulkhead / shoreline stabilization for private upland development and NYC outfall inspections. Our USV’s can be outfitted with a variety of hydrographic and oceanographic sensors.
