Waterstone Surveys delivers dam, reservoir and hydrographic surveys built for engineers who need to know exactly what's happening below the surface — capacity, sedimentation, and structural change, measured and reported to survey-grade accuracy.
Waterstone Surveys carries out bathymetric and hydrographic surveys for dams, reservoirs and rivers, giving engineers, operators and water authorities an accurate picture of storage capacity, sediment build-up and underwater condition.
Every survey is planned around the client's real question — how much capacity has been lost to siltation, where the deepest scour is forming, whether a spillway or intake is silting up — and delivered as data engineers can act on, not just a chart to file away.
From single-site capacity checks to ongoing sedimentation monitoring programmes, each service is scoped to the accuracy and reporting an engineering decision actually requires.
Full basin mapping using single-beam and multibeam echosounders to profile the underwater surface of dams, reservoirs and lakes.
Storage-capacity surveys and siltation assessments, comparing current volume against original design capacity and prior surveys.
Depth and channel surveys of rivers, canals and harbours, including scour monitoring around structures and intakes.
Precise positioning and control networks tying every survey to a verifiable geodetic reference frame.
Above-water topographic detail merged with bathymetric data for a complete land-to-lakebed model.
Contour maps, capacity tables, cross-sections and DEM/DTM files, delivered in the formats your engineering team already works in.
A look at recent surveys — on the water and in the data.
a dam, reservoir, or lake, and what you need to know, and we will get back to you.
