Designed with users in mind, the Echoscope® AIR above the waterline capabilities add to placement accuracy and efficiency for operators and project construction teams; giving users an extra level of scene awareness to ensure inspection and monitoring tasks are completed safely and efficiently.

The Echoscope® AIR real-time 3D imaging applications above the waterline complement the use of Echoscope® real-time 3D imaging sonars underwater. Providing the same real-time volumetric 3D data as the Echoscope allows seamless use of Coda Octopus’ powerful real-time and post-processing software applications (Underwater Survey Explorer and CMS) which have been in use in the construction industry for well over a decade

The initial focus for Echoscope® AIR is to provide new benefits for a number of key marine construction applications including:

*             Breakwater Construction: The Echoscope® AIR can visualize the movement and track blocks above waterline for the first time. The Echoscope® AIR fully integrated within the CodaOctopus® Construction Monitoring Software (CMS) and is directly interchangeable for the Echoscope. The transition for placement of blocks from below the waterline to above the waterline is seamless and intuitive for even the most inexperienced crane operator.

*             Port, Harbour, and Bridge Inspection:  The Echoscope® AIR is also supported in the Underwater Survey Explorer (USE) software allowing short range above water inspection tasks to be executed with the same ease as currently performed with Echoscope underwater. Deliverables from the Echoscope and the AIR can be combined in top end software Underwater Survey Explorer (“commonly referred to as “USE”) for consolidated data output to clients.
