When planning offshore wind farms, submarine cable routes, ports, or other marine infrastructure, understanding the seabed is only part of the investigation.

In many cases, engineers also need to understand what lies beneath the seabed.

That's where Sub-bottom Profilers (SBP) and Marine Magnetometers come in. While they are often mentioned together, they answer very different questions and serve different purposes during offshore site investigations.

We've put together a quick comparison to help you understand when each technology is typically used.

A bathymetric survey tells you what the seabed looks like. But for some offshore projects, understanding what lies beneath the seabed can be just as important.

Depending on the project, additional geophysical survey technologies such as Sub-bottom Profilers and Marine Magnetometers can provide valuable information about subsurface conditions and potential buried metallic hazards that are not visible from bathymetric surveys alone.

In our latest article, we explore how these technologies complement bathymetric surveys and why they are commonly used in offshore wind, submarine cable, port, dredging, and other marine infrastructure projects.

One project area can require more than one type of survey.

From land and infrastructure to coastlines, waterways, and underwater terrain, AB Surveying and Development provides integrated surveying solutions to help project owners, engineers, developers, and government agencies work with accurate and connected data.

With the right combination of technologies, we help reduce data gaps, improve planning, and support better engineering decisions from land to water.

Smaller survey areas may call for a more cost-efficient solution, but they should never have to compromise on accuracy or reliability.

As a sister company of AB Surveying and Development, AB LiDAR applies proven large-scale LiDAR expertise and established survey standards to focused survey requirements through a more cost-efficient drone-based solution.

With survey-grade equipment, documented calibration, and AI-assisted processing, we deliver reliable data without the cost of mobilizing an aircraft for projects that do not require one.

Many projects like bridges, ports, coastal infrastructure, river systems, and marine developments, engineers often need a complete view of both land and underwater conditions.

In this post, we’re sharing real survey outputs from AB Surveying and Development showing how different technologies can be combined into one seamless dataset.

By integrating the right survey methods, project teams can reduce data gaps, improve planning, and make better engineering decisions from land to seabed.

Modern engineering projects such as bridges, ports, river rehabilitation works, coastal infrastructure, and reclamation projects often require more than separate topographic and hydrographic surveys.

By combining land and underwater survey methods into one seamless dataset, project teams can reduce data gaps, improve design workflows, and gain a clearer understanding of the entire project environment.

In our latest article, we discuss why integrated survey datasets are becoming essential for modern infrastructure projects and which survey technologies can be combined depending on your project’s needs.
