Sub bottom profiling systems are used in order to investigate the shallow seabed structure, the stratigraphy and the degree of homogeneity of the bottom of the target area.

Derinsu use STRATABOX Sub bottom profiler in order to investigate the sediment structure of the survey area. The StrataBox is a portable high- resolution marine sediment imaging instrument capable of delivering 6 cm of marine sediment strata resolution with bottom penetration of up to 40 meters depending on the sediment type. It is designed exclusively for inshore and coastal geophysical marine survey up to 150 meters depth.

Using Chesapeake SonarWiz software SBP data is prepared and interpretation and reporting performed as requested.

Main Features of the Software

Broad File Type Support—XTF, SEG-Y, CODA (.COD and .CDA), Edgetech JSF, Tritech SBP V4Log and Syqwest StrataBox data file formats are currently supported with more formats on the way.

Intuitive Mapping—The SBP Option maps your sub-bottom data in a 2D plan view by rotating the vertical trace 90 degree into the map surface providing a plan view of your data. Individual files may be moved, trimmed, split, image enhanced just by a simple right-click in the map view.

Classical Profile Views—In addition to a plan view of all of your SBP data files, SonarWiz.MAP also provides multiple profile views of your SBP files that are “cursor-linked” with the map view. The profile views allow infinite scroll and pan over the entire SBP data file and complete customization of the vertical and horizontal scale lines and event marking.

Acoustic Reflector Generation—The SonarWiz.MAP profile view provides a simple interface for digitizing acoustic reflectors in the profile. Reflectors are displayed in the map view and on the profile view as they are digitized. SonarWiz.MAP includes a complete export tool that will save the digitized reflectors in CAD, GIS and ASCII formats.

Isopach and Thickness Tool—The SonarWiz.MAP thickness tool compares any pair of reflectors and automatically generates the thickness vector for the area of intersection of the reflectors which is a huge time saving feature
