A survey manager at an independent survey company that specializes in coastal surveys along the eastern seaboard of the U.S.
Story
In early 2018, the company won a contract that put them in a situation of conducting two surveys back to back. With the survey for a previously booked contract already scheduled to begin on a certain date, it was critical that the first project be completed on time. Any delays would jeopardize the second project, activating financial penalties and damaging the company’s reputation. Given the high sound speed variability expected in the first project’s survey area, the survey manager was concerned that the frequency with which they would need to stop the vessel to obtain sound velocity profiles would threaten punctual completion.
The survey manager knew he needed a way to collect SV data without ever stopping the vessel in order to finish the survey within the 30 day window and to the specifications stipulated in the contract. In anticipation of this, he tried an entry level system, but found it completely inadequate. He then approached AML. We provided MVP30, a real-time underway profiling system designed for the rigors of commercial survey work.
Results
The first survey was completed with room to spare, and the second began on time. Both customers were impressed not only by the timely delivery of their products, but the noticeably higher quality, which the survey manager attributed to the continuous, real-time feed of sound velocity data into the multibeam system.
