Hydrographic Surveys

WE Energies, Lake Michigan
Oak Creek, Wisconsin

Responsible for hydrographic survey data collection along approximately 1-1/2 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline. Approximately 75 shore perpendicular cross sections were surveyed. Deployment and monitoring of water level recording gage. Water jet probing at approximately 25 locations to determine the lake bed unconsolidated material thickness.

Racine Harbor, Lake Michigan
Racine, Wisconsin

Responsible for collection of bathymetric data within the harbor, marina and cross-sections of 1-1/2 miles of the Root River. Total harbor and marina area is approximately 100 acres. Deployment and monitoring of water level recording gage and sediment samples. Topographic surveying and beach profiling. Preparing base maps and coordinating all data storage. Calculating volumetric changes from previous survey data.

Keta Basin Development (Keta Sea Defence Project)
Keta, Ghana, West Africa

Responsible for the collection of near-shore and off-shore hydrographic data and land-based topographic features. The project area encompassed approximately seven miles of rapidly eroding shoreline. The existing hydrographic and topographic data was combined to produce a digital AutoCad base map suitable for 3-D modeling and project design.

Hammond Marina Breakwater Monitoring and Evaluation
Hammond, Indiana

Responsible for data collection of the annual shoreline-monitoring program. Field Work included cross sectioning of an existing above water breakwater and a below water trip breakwater. Field data was collected by using a diver equipped with snorkeling and surveying gear to observe underwater and document limits of the stone breakwaters.
