Underwater Acoustic Imaging Devices for Portable Scour Monitoring
Monitoring of key infrastructure below water and the channel bottom surrounding these items is essential for ensuring public safety and promoting long-term serviceability, as well as ensuring functional reliability of these waterway structures and the waterway natural resource. New advances in underwater acoustic imaging have emerged as a tremendous portable tool for scour monitoring. Underwater acoustic imaging can provide photo-quality visual images of submerged elements for structural inspection documentation; channel bottom elevation and material texture information for scour monitoring during flood events; spatial understanding for repair design activities; and construction observation for quality assurance documentation of scour countermeasure installations. During hazardous flood conditions, hydrographic surveys and site evaluations by qualified underwater inspection divers to determine the maximum scour cannot always be performed due to safety reasons. When the scour depth is the deepest during a flood, this reliable portable sonar equipment can easily be used at numerous sites in an accurate, quick, and safe approach.
