https://vimeo.com/221489389 Aqua Survey deploys the Ultra Marine Magnetometer Array (UMMA) when clients need to locate metal objects in ecologically sensitive environments or cover large areas rapidly. Piloted by our team of scientists at a carefully controlled altitude above the seafloor, UMMA sweeps former military bombing ranges, harbors, and submerged archaeological sites with unmatched speed and sensitivity. The result is a detailed map of ferrous targets—delivered quickly, accurately, and with zero impact on flora and fauna.  Watch “Ultra Marine Magnetometer Array”

https://vimeo.com/215880233 When survey crews face tangled wrecks, submerged debris fields, or coral gardens that demand the utmost care, Aqua Survey’s ROV solution steps in with agility and finesse. These compact, remotely operated platforms slip through narrow channels and hover above sensitive habitats—ensuring zero contact with sea life while mapping every nook and cranny. Equipped with an advanced electro-magnetic coil, the EM-ROV pinpoints both ferrous and non-ferrous metals without disturbing the seabed. The result? Reliable target identification in even the most … Continue reading “EM ROV”

https://vimeo.com/23368873 Discover how Aqua Survey turns uncertainty into actionable insight when tackling underwater unexploded ordnance (UXO), munitions and explosives of concern (MEC), and marine clearance (MC). Aqua Survey’s UXO/MEC/MC capabilities include specialty vessels, geophysical survey and remote sensing instruments and precision positioning  systems.  Using proprietary sediment sampling we can safely collect sediment cores in areas known to have or suspected of having UXO or MEC present. Our certified sediment toxicology laboratory can expertly test sediment samples for toxicity derived from … Continue reading “Aqua Survey’s UXO Survey Capabilities”

https://vimeo.com/491238465 Aqua Survey performed an Electromagnetic survey on private land near Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania. Fought on July 1-3, 1863, the Battle of Gettysburg was a decisive Union victory in the Civil War and the bloodiest battle ever fought in North America. The area surveyed is believed to have been a Confederate field hospital during the conflict. Watch as Aqua Survey’s land-based EM survey equipment leads to some archaeological finds.

https://vimeo.com/207534147 “Andre Rossfelder was a fascinating man. When I watch our field techs using one of Andre Rossfelder’s vibracore units, I think about some of the James Bond-like stories Andre told me about his youth, including his attempts to assassinate Charles De Gaulle. Whenever we deploy our inflatable Rossfelder barge, it’s amazing to think that Jacque Cousteau’s son Phillipe used to go bombing around the South Pacific with it tucked away in Cousteau’s seaplane, the Flying Calypso.” — Ken Hayes … Continue reading “Our Rossfelder/Cousteau Connection”

https://vimeo.com/2850361 Aqua Survey are experts in the vibracoring field. Whether the project is in the middle of New York Harbor or in a remote section of a national forest, Aqua Survey is there with the right tools and know-how to get your job done. Sediment vibracoring is a cost-effective method for collecting undisturbed, continuous sediment cores—typically 3–4 inches in diameter—to depths of up to about 20 feet. A vibrating head drives a barrel equipped with soft (flexible food-grade polyethylene) or … Continue reading “Remote Vibracoring in Daniel Boone National Forest”

https://vimeo.com/200244173 What is Vibracoring?  Find out in under a minute.  Watch as our 32ft folding-wing pontoon vessel the R/V Edison is deployed to collect up to 20ft sediment cores with plenty of space for processing the collected sediment samples on deck. Sediment vibracoring is a cost-effective method for collecting undisturbed, continuous sediment cores—typically 3–4 inches in diameter—to depths of up to about 20 feet. A vibrating head drives a barrel equipped with soft (flexible food-grade polyethylene) or hard (rigid polycarbonate) … Continue reading “Sediment Vibracoring”
