A hydrographic and sediment study was recently conducted on a retention pond to provide a information to help with proper management. It’s important to know how much sediment and other material accumulates in retention basins to insure that it’s functioning properly. The image below shows the sediment thickness found by the sediment probes and sonar technology. 
The Mapping Network performed a hydrographic and dredge survey for a power plant’s coal ash ponds. These can be difficult because of the composition of material. With the combination our sonar, GPS, and years of experience with coal ash, we were able to give them an accurate estimate of ash volume.
The Mapping Network performed a pre-dredge and sediment study on a county reservoir. Their mission was to locate a historic channel buried under several feet of soft sediment. The Mapping Network had to carefully examine the sonar readings and sediment probe information to best locate the channel. The result of the analaysis providing accurate information to plot the idea course for the dredger to input into their Dredgepak software system.
Have a dredging project coming up for your lake or pond? How do you know if the dredge contractor removed the correct amount of sediment? The Mapping Network specializes in pre-dredge and post-dredge surveys to verify dredge projects are done according to plan. We use top-of-the-line GPS and sonar technology to accurately survey the lake bottom.

The Mapping Network has extensive experience performing hydrographic surveys on intake channels for power plants and drinking water intakes. On the example below The Mapping Network conducted a pre and post dredge survey along with calculating the amount of material removed. The map below is the post-dredge survey after all dredging operations were performed.

On the example below The Mapping Network conducted a pre-dredge bathymetric survey along with calculating the amount of material needing to be removed. This information will be used to collect bids for dredging the area.

The Mapping Network completed a post dredge bathymetry survey to show the status of a dredging project on a lake near Kansas City. A comparison map of the pre-dredge and post-dredge depths was generated to verify the amount and location of material removed. Areas still needing to be dredged are located and the dredging contractor will focus their efforts on those locations. This verifies the dredging has reached the planned depths.

The Mapping Network partner, PondMedics, Inc.,wrote a practical guide about planning and executing a dredging project of your own. The examples used in this guide are taken from a recent project PondMedics, Inc. conducted on two irrigation/storm water retention ponds at a world-renown soccer complex in a northern suburb of Dallas.
