Bathymetry Maps

Allied Biological is part of a nationwide mapping network that provides high accuracy, high quality bathymetry maps for use by scientists and lake owners alike. Using advanced GPS referenced data collection technology and mapping software, Allied Biological provides clients with extremely accurate water depths, basin topography and acreage information; information that is a critical when making decisions regarding lake management.

 

Use Bathymetry Maps for:
  • Boating and fishing
  • Underwater hazard location
  • Sedimentation monitoring
  • Aeration system placement
  • Aquatic weed control
  • Fisheries management
  • Habitat development

 

Sediment Profile Maps

Mapping the bottom of the lake can reveal areas of concern and optimal times when dredging will be necessary for the survival of the lake. Allied Biological in coordination with the Mapping Network offers automated sub-bottom sediment profile mapping. This technology is fully automated and does not require labor intensive manual sediment measurements.  The system logs sediment and water depth readings simultaneously, allowing owners to chart the bottom of their lake with remarkable accuracy.  Dredging companies can use this information to accurately bid and complete projects.  Mapping lake sediment with this technology saves time, money, and materials by being informed and efficient with the dredging process.

Sophisticated lake mapping technology allows owners to fully understand the severity of the sediment issues when planning a dredging project.  Cubic yardage calculations of sediment for each removal area are rendered.  Choosing important areas to dredge, based on up-to-date, accurate information allows for a focused dredging effort, saving thousands.
