By way of combining available market technologies: multibeam echosounders (MBES) and terrestrial laser scanners (LiDAR, for Light Detection and Ranging), the successful applicant will be required to survey the scoped maritime assets and the adjacent seabed (up to 20m from the assets) over a 4-year period.
