A new era of ocean mapping services.
Bedrock has engineered a new generation of portable, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), allowing us to acquire seafloor data more efficiently than traditional ship or surface-based methods.
We can fly our vehicles anywhere and mobilize in days.
We provide a survey solution that protects marine mammals.
No ITAs or IHAs, or PSOs required.
Bedrock Survey Capabilities
Our commercial fleet will be supporting offshore wind, cultural resource management, ports & harbors, and security of critical infrastructure projects. Download our new specifications here
Hydrographic
Creating detailed topography.
Geophysical
Capturing the geological environment.
UXO Survey
Identifying unexploded ordnances.
Site Reconnaissance. Export/Array Cable. Scour Protection. O&M Surveys.
Bedrock x Offshore Wind
Bedrock’s survey operating profile is optimized for ocean-based renewable energy projects. It is designed for site exploration, site reconnaissance, export & inter-array cable installation, as well as operations and maintenance (O&M) surveys. Our survey sweet spot is for far shore (<90km from shore) deep water (<300m depth) missions.
Datasets We Collect
Advantages of the Bedrock AUV Fleet Platform:
Less time spent on permitting.
We save months of permitting time and expenses. With our AUVs, there is no danger to the safety of navigation at sea. We minimize the impact on ocean life and eliminate the risk of asset damage with smaller, less powerful sonars.
Faster to mobilize and transportable by air.
We can mobilize our vehicles in days. The entire AUV fits in two cases and we have specialized Li-ion battery logistics partners. No ITAR restrictions.
100% electric and green.
All our vehicles are fully electric, powered Li-ion batteries. We purpose-built a sustainable system for a sustainable future.
Minimized risk of environmental damage.
Smaller sonars close to the seafloor mean minimal to no sound harassment in Marine Protected Areas. In addition, at a speed of 2-3 knots, our AUVs have a low chance of animal or environmental damage as they’re transiting.
Survey operations with minimal weather impact.
Staying below the surface means we stay clear of adverse weather on the surface. Our vehicles can operate at close to 100% utilization.
… No Seismic?
We’ve found that over 80% of the geophysical survey work needed for common infrastructure projects doesn’t require deep seismic. If you need deep penetration (>20m), we recommend a traditional provider for now.
Cloud Data Management.
We deliver all data through the cloud.
Access to Mosaic™, Bedrock’s data platform, is included in our survey services to maximize the value of your seafloor data and simplify data management.
