Seamap invests and develops technology and equipment for cartography in the new era

The Center for Sea Survey and Mapping (Seamap) always focuses on investing in developing mapping and survey technology, including multi-beam and single-beam echo-sounding technology for seabed topographic survey. Seabed survey and mapping is one of the fields where Seamap has been strong for many years. The application of new technologies in survey and cartographic work is invested by Seamap every year to meet the needs of customers and catch up with the development of international technology, creating prestige and quality and bringing strong development to the geodetic industry in particular, making an important contribution to the economic development of related industries in Vietnam.

  1. Seamap’s single- and multi-beam echo sounding technology and seabed topographic mapping technology keep pace with the development of world technology

   

Seabed suevey to establish seabed topographical maps to serve scientific research, management, development of socio-economic activities in sea areas, oil and gas exploration and exploitation, fishing development, the construction of waterways works, planning shipping routes, ensuring navigation, studying the environment, surveying the undergseabed cable lines bringing electricity to the islands, developing wind power, protecting the coastal corridor, etc.
 
Seafloor maps are also classified on large, medium to small scales.
Depending on each type of map according to the above classifications, the requirements on the mathematical basis and accuracy of the map as well as the map language expressed through the symbology as prescribed by the types of maps are also required differently. During the years of establishment and development, Seamap has invested in many high-precision single-beam and multi-beam echo sounding systems, achieving accuracy targets, including the highest “special order” accuracy. according to IHO’s regulatory standards, manufactured by famous manufacturers such as the multi-beam echo sounding system EM710 of Kongsberg-Norway, R2Sonic 2020, 2022, 2024 of R2Sonic-USA, and most recently the system Kongsberg EM2040 MKII system. The types of single-beam echo sounders of famous brands such as Teledyne Odom are also always updated by Seamap, investing in the latest technology, to meet the needs of the job.

3. Single-beam and multi-beam echo sounding technology creates trust and conquers domestic and foreign customers.

   With the existing leading capacity in Vietnam in surveying the topography of the seabed, riverbed, lake… with single and multi-beam echo sounding technology, Seamap has been trusted by many domestic and foreign customers to sign contracts. Jointly carry out survey of installation, maintenance and repair of works at sea, installation of underground power cables to islands, typical works: seabed survey – pre-construction including USBL positioning, surveying scanning the Sonar side and surveying the terrain with a multi-beam depth gauge of the underground electric cable to Ly Son island, Quang Ngai province for PMS customers; survey at Cai Lan port, Quang Ninh province by single-beam and multi-beam technology for HALLA ENGINEERING-Korea; Maritime survey on cable route design for the Project: Power transmission for 110kV high voltage underground cable to Co To island, Quang Ninh province; Marine survey for the 110 kV high voltage underground cable connecting the mainland between Ha Tien and Phu Quoc island for Prysmian Powerlink Srl-Italia; Seabed geological survey, topographic survey, route survey for construction drawing design, construction estimate, equipment supply & technology and construction of undersea cable for Thanh An island commune – Can Gio district – Project: Construction of 22kV submarine cable line across the sea to supply electricity to Thanh An commune – Can Gio district; Survey and construction of 110kV underground cable strip bringing electricity to Cu Lao Cham island, Quang Nam province for customers of Thai Duong power company; Pre-installation survey by single- and multi-beam echo sounding technology in oil and gas exploration and production areas off Myanmar and Thai waters, etc. In addition, Seamap is also gradually making efforts to do a good job of “digital” transformation in management such as building a digital map database, promoting the application of automatic control technology to production activities to improve the quality of products and services. improve competitiveness, increase operational efficiency. This is an important foundation to be able to apply the achievements of the industrial revolution 4.0 and then the industrial revolution.
