The Mesotech sonar is particularly well known for its high resolution imaging capability and their use in difficult conditions, where visibility is low or access is limited. They are based on the principle of emission and reception of acoustic waves bouncing off objects or the seabed, which allows to obtain detailed images and accurate data on the underwater environment.
Mesotech sonar applications
Inspection of oil and gas platforms:
To check the condition of structures to ensure that there is no damage due to corrosion, soil movement or accidental impacts.
Inspection of bridges and docks:
They provide detailed images of the submerged foundations of bridges and piers, detecting signs of erosion, wear or undermining.
Monitoring of submarine cables and pipelines:
They can locate and monitor the condition of electrical cables, gas pipelines and oil pipelines, detecting possible damage or displacement.
Underwater archaeological studies:
Used to locate and document shipwrecks or submerged artifacts, creating high-resolution images without the need for extended dives.
Search and rescue:
In situations of searching for submerged objects or lost vehicles underwater, it provides fast and accurate images of the search area.
Tipos de Sonares Mesotech y sus Aplicaciones:
Side Scan Sonar:
It is used to create detailed images of the seafloor, which is useful for identifying submerged objects, mapping terrain and detecting irregularities on the seafloor. It is common in underwater archaeology projects, inspection of sunken ships and locating lost objects.
Imaging Sonar:
It emits fan-shaped acoustic waves to produce detailed images of objects within its range. This type of sonar is ideal for the inspection of underwater structures such as platforms, pipelines, bridge pylons and subsea cables. It is used in the inspection of critical infrastructure where constant monitoring of the condition of structures is required to prevent failure or damage.
Profiling Sonar:
This type of sonar is designed to generate profiles of the seabed or submerged structures, providing information about their geometric characteristics. It is very useful for determining the shape and dimensions of trenches, channels, pilings and other submerged structures.
Mesotech systems are robust and reliable, making them suitable for a wide range of subsea environments, from coastal waters to ocean depths.
