Description

Lake Pulse makes bathymetric surveys easy, accurate, and entirely hands-off. With Bathymetry-as-a-Service, a trained Lake Pulse 3rd party operator brings an autonomous marine drone to your lake to complete a full depth survey—no special equipment or on-site coordination required. Just provide access instructions and we’ll handle the rest.

*** Why does this say it costs $5?    To ensure this drone-based bathymetry survey delivers exactly what you need, we require a brief scoping call before scheduling. This call is set at a nominal $5 fee — not as a cost, but as a signal of commitment and to save you both time and money in the long run. Conducting a bathymetry survey on your lake involves important upfront considerations: 1) Lake navigational parameters, 2) Mission size and scope. 3) Specific objectives and data requirements. A short alignment call allows us to clarify these details upfront, streamline the planning process, and avoid unnecessary costs or delays.

What problem does this solve?

Why you might need this:

  • You need a baseline depth map to guide dredging, restoration, or muck volume assessments.
  • Manual or boat-based surveys are too costly, time-consuming, or hard to access in parts of your lake.
  • You suspect sediment buildup or changes in lake volume but lack precise measurements.
  • You want to track depth and sedimentation changes over time to inform future interventions.
  • You need accurate data for internal loading models or to identify critical aquatic habitat zones.

What's included

On-Site Expert Deployment: A Lake Pulse technician will travel to your lake and operate the vessel from start to finish.

Autonomous Marine Drone: Our partner's compact, 1-meter survey vessel uses advanced dual GNSS + IMU sensors to follow precise routes—even in strong currents or shallow water.

Single-Beam Echosounder: High-resolution sonar (±0.01 m accuracy) measures lake depth at a range of 0.15 to 200 meters.

Shallow-Draft Performance: With just a 10 cm draft, it can safely operate in tight, shallow zones that traditional boats can’t reach.

Durable & Portable Hardware: Built with Kevlar-reinforced carbon fiber, the system performs reliably in rugged field conditions with minimal footprint.

Results

Detailed Bathymetric Maps: Accurate lakebed profiles to guide dredging, volume calculations, and sediment assessments.

Efficient Survey Turnaround: Faster, safer, and more cost-effective than traditional boat-based surveys, especially in hard-to-reach areas.

Baseline for Long-Term Monitoring: Establish a depth reference point for tracking sedimentation and lakebed changes over time.

Better Planning Tools: Support infrastructure, ecological, or remediation planning with high-resolution depth and volume data.

Increased Operational Efficiency: Reduce labor and equipment needs while improving the quality and consistency of depth measurements.
