MSi3D Information

The MSI3D team is proud to present you its services for marine inspections in real-time with a 3D sonar. MSI3D is a subsidiary company of Groupe Synergis who specialized in Marine inspection services, Geomatics, Environment and 3D Imaging laser scanning (LIDAR). Indeed, the 3D sonar system, the Echoscope, from Coda Octopus is now available in Canada. This technology allows digital inspection in three dimensions with a high-definition sonar installed on a boat, an ROV or a lever arm, combined with a high-precision inertial station (RTK + /-2CM). The Echoscope captures more than 16,000 simultaneous points and can pulse up to 12 times per second. This data density is superior to any conventional multibeam sonar and can detect details and points of interest rendered in a sharp 3D imagery. This new technology allows you to clearly see submerged infrastructure, fixe or mobile in underwater environments where the visibility is too poor or non-existent and in areas where the current can reach more than 5 knots. The sharp precision and the clarity of the imagery are obtained via the inertial station (internal motion unit) corrections. This allows to precisely locate infrastructure, anomalies and to take instantaneous measurements. In sum, the Echoscope instantly creates a 3D georeferenced dataset of submerged infrastructure, and in all water conditions. The surveys are done quickly, so it greatly reduces the risks. The range of available products can be from the simple screen capture to full inspection report through 3D animations and merging datasets with conventional AUTOCAD draws (.DXF or .DWG). It would be our pleasure to discuss your needs for your maritime inspections projects. We would be pleased to offer you our services and to present you our last results in underwater inspection.
