GPS Mapping Urban Ponds for Dredging

A case study of Lakeside on Preston HOA in Plano, TX by Trent Lewis with Pond Medics, Inc. is featured in a North Texas Homeowners Association publication.

The Mapping Network is instrumental in bringing GPS lake mapping technology to the recreational market.  Their experience wit the most efficient GPS and sonar technology allows their partners, like us, to offer these unique services to our clients.  Pond Medics utilizes this lake mapping technology to reveal this unseen, underwater world.  Combining sub-foot accurate equipment and depth accuracies of up to 1/10th of a foot, we can produce a picture of what few people will ever see – the bottom of your lake.

GPS Lake Mapping Verifies Dregding Project

3D GPS Bathymetric Lake Mapping validates Dredging Project

Trent Lewis with Pond Medics, Inc. provided an Arlington, Texas Home Owner Association the validation of knowing a dredging project went as planned.  Pond Medics, a lake mapping partner with The Mapping Network, charted the bottom of the lake before and after the dredging project to monitor the improvements.  Not only was the HOA able to verify the work had been completed properly, they now have a basemap to monitor sediment accumulation over time.    GPS bathymetric mapping is a powerful tool for assisting in management decisions.
