AltoMaxx: Drone-Based Bathymetry

AltoMaxx is revolutionizing bathymetric data acquisition with its fleet of state-of-the-art drones and sensors.

Bathymetry measures the depth beneath water surfaces, producing underwater maps of riverbeds, creek systems, lake bottoms, ocean floors, wastewater treatment ponds, and tailings ponds. This bathymetric data can be used to calculate water volume, measure sediment deposits, document coastal erosion, and provide other critical insights about water resources.

Drone-based bathymetry services are unencumbered by the typical infrastructure, expenses, and limitations associated with other platforms. Drones are versatile and able to be deployed in situations where traditional bathymetry methods are impractical or unsafe, such as shallow coastal areas, strong current systems, and caustic tailing ponds.

AltoMaxx bathymetric surveys utilize autonomous, pre-planned flights to provide maximum efficiency, while precise GPS positioning systems ensure accurate data and repeatable survey lines. Through drone technology, AltoMaxx can provide fast and cost-effective access to bathymetric data – allowing clients to make informed decisions and successfully manage their assets.

Beautiful video. We would like to be a part of this and support your services:)

Assuming that the drone is where the GPS position is taken, how do you account for the horizontal difference in the position of the drone versus the position of the sensor. This would be particularly critical in a stream where the echosounder might be horizontally offset by several feet.

Do you use any GNSS reference systems on ground to fix gps drift?

Could you share the price for this Bathymetry Camera....

Current or weather not a problem, sure, but what about marine debris... logs and deadheads for example?
