Sonar Equipment Services UK - Specialists in Sub-bottom profiling and Side scan sonar equipment
WELCOME TO THE EXCITING WORLD OF SONAR
Sonar Equipment Services have been supplying high quality sonar equipment including side scan sonar and sub-bottom profiling systems since 1994
Sound is the "Light" that gives us the ability to see long distances underwater and indeed to view the nature of the seabed and what mysteries lies beneath. With sonar equipment, such as side scan sonar and sub-bottom profiling, we can find sunken treasures locate diamond deposits or design foundations for some of the largest offshore structures.
Sonar development in its early days was accelerated by the needs of the military in submarine detection, but now the technology is available to meet both commercial and leisure needs. From systems capable of looking at the seabed 6000 metres below the ocean surface to the modest sounders used on leisure craft, there are a myriad of applications for side scan sonar and sub-bottom profiling.
The excitement of the fisherman in locating a school of fish or the treasure seeker in locating a sunken ship are just a part of the world of sonar. There is a technical side in the investigation of sites for the safe location of offshore oil platforms and structures plus the suitable routes for oil and gas pipelines.
The explosion in demand for information technology has resulted in the need to link continents throughout the globe with subsea cables. Side scan sonar and sub-bottom profiling plays its part in assisting with this operation throughout the vast oceans.
The seas contain many valuable minerals and materials and here once again using sub-bottom profiling, sonar is able to assist whether it be location of offshore diamonds or simply sand for construction.
At the forefront of current developments is the use of underwater sound to communicate with and control autonomous under water vehicles for subsea investigation.
The future will allow complete remote identification of materials, features and structures in the oceans and more....
