Ultrabeam Hydrographic

Our latest GPS-denied positioning tests with the Axolotl continue to yield impressive results. This approach enables us to maintain exceptional positional accuracy during multibeam sonar and laser surveys, even when operating beneath bridges.

Ultrabeam Hydrographic is a technology-driven hydrographic survey company dedicated to enhancing data quality, accuracy, and safety. Through continuous research and development, we strive to remain at the forefront of asset inspection and digital twinning innovation. Today, we brought out our remotely operated amphibious vehicle, Axolotl, to test our kinematic laser and multibeam sonar positioning solution designed for GPS-denied environments. Once fully developed, this solution will significantly enhance the accuracy of our multibeam sonar and laser data collection, particularly in challenging areas such as under bridges.

Digital twins of river bridges offer a powerful solution for asset management, particularly during extreme weather events like the recent floods. Ultrabeam Hydrographic conducts highly detailed 3D surveys of bridges, which can be performed before, during, and after a storm. These surveys provide a comprehensive inspection of the bridge and the surrounding riverbed. Conducting multiple surveys over time enables statistical comparisons, offering deeper insights into how flooding and storms impact the structure. Reach out to us to explore how we can assist with monitoring your assets.

Digital twin your marine assets safely. Ultrabeam Hydrographic use remotely operated inspection platforms to capture high accuracy 3D data of your marine asset above and below the water.

Project Black Swan - Ultrabeam Hydrographic's marine asset inspection USV is showcased during its initial on-water testing in the early stages of R&D, as well as in its current form alongside recent survey data sets. Our proprietary remotely operated marine asset inspection platforms enhance bridge inspection safety and accuracy. Ultrabeam's Black Swan USV is a lightweight, portable vessel powered by electric propulsion. Equipped with cutting-edge high-resolution LiDAR and multibeam sonar, the Black Swan features four vectored thrusters that enable precise omnidirectional movement and the ability to hold position in river currents. Its multibeam sonar is mounted on a real-time rotation actuator, ensuring optimal data capture for vertical structures. Linear actuators control both the thrusters and sonar height, allowing for seamless operation even in extremely shallow water.

We often get requests for surveys and asset inspections at sites with hazardous or restricted access. If there isn't a solution available on the market we build our own. This culvert hadn't been inspected for many years due to the constant flow of water and its small size. We adapted a sewer crawler with a full array of sensors to inspect the culvert in as much detail as possible. -Oculus 3MHz imaging sonar with a custom built lightweight pan, tilt and roll mount -Marine Electronics profiling sonar -Forward looking navigation sonar -Multiple cameras Built in our workshop in a couple of days, tested and then deployed on site. Check out the very detailed Oculus acoustic image data in the video. Blueprint Subsea Ultrabeam Hydrographic Blue Robotics

Calling all hydrographic surveyors! Montage video! We are still looking for hydrographic surveyors to join our team at Ultrabeam so have made a short video to highlight the cool vehicles we build and operate and the industry leading 3D asset inspection data we collect. We have some really interesting projects this year with lots of options available for potential candidates. If you are interested and currently available for UK work then come and chat with us to see how a role at Ultrabeam would suit you. We are interested in talking to applicants in all stages of their career, from those with years of experience to share, to those who are just starting out on their journey and are looking for a solid introduction to our world from a friendly and very skilled team. As this role will involve visits to our Cornwall office, rotations offshore and also frequent small inshore projects around the UK, this role will be best suited to an applicant located in the UK. Relocation to Cornwall not required. Salary and benefits package to be determined with the successful candidate based upon their relevant experience. If you think that this role might suit you and you would like to discuss further with us, then please get in touch via: careers@ultrahydrographic.com We look forward to speaking to you.
