Data collection and navigation software, for the bathymetry and sidescan surveys, was
Hypack®/Hysweep®. The SBP data were collected using Edgetech 3100-P hardware and
Discover software v3.42.
Software settings for bathymetry data acquisition include the serial I/O configuration and sensor
offsets in Hypack, and Hypack Navigation device offsets in the HySweep hardware
configuration.
2.1 Interconnections
Figure 2-1 shows the data flow and communications setup for the devices which make up the
survey system. Table 2-2 lists the settings for each of the data communication links.
Device offsets are precisely defined for the multibeam sonar, attitude sensor and GPS antenna, so
that the Hypack/HySweep acquisition software can accurately convert the input sonar and
support sensor data into XYZ soundings on the earth.
The following offsets, in feet, were used for the Hypack and HySweep sensors:
The sonar head was mounted to the vessel using a side mount pole, as shown in Figure 2-2. The
mount is rigidly attached to the side of the vessel. The sidescan system was mounted on a bow
mount, shown in Figure 2-3. This figure also shows the subbottom profiler towfish, which was
suspended from a pole mounted on the port bow.
The geodesy settings shown in Table 2-4 were used for the project.
At the time of the mobilization, the only pre-defined high quality survey control point in the area
was the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) FREELAND (PID OK0006) Primary Airport Control
Station located at the Tri-City International Airport. The NGS Data Sheet for this control is
provided in Appendix A.
Since no national or state agency control points were available in locations suitable for setting up
a RTK base station, the NGS Online Positioning User Service (OPUS) was used to establish
geodetic control points. Wade-Trim, a local survey company, provided two locations where they
had previously determined coordinates using RTK GPS. An RTK capable GPS was set up over
the points for a period of approximately 2 hours, throughout this period data were recorded. The
data were then transferred to NGS OPUS via the internet for processing. Based on this data NGS
OPUS provided the reports included in Appendix A, which were used for Reach D control.
Additional OPUS points were established for quality control (QC) purposes.
Table 2-5 presents the NGS control and OPUS points that were utilized and established.
The 3100-P system consists of a towfish with in-water transducers and hydrophone receivers and
a shipboard processing system that received digital data from the towfish. For this project the
SB-424 towfish was suspended in a fixed position just forward of the bow along the port side of
the survey vessel (Figure 2-3) to enable data collection in very shallow water, as well as provide
the best possible positional data that fixed mounting offers. This same mount was adapted and
used for the SB-216 (Figure 4-1) during data collection on May 14. A small inflatable catamaran
was used to support the larger and heavier SB-216 towfish.
An acoustic pulse was generated by the transducers and acoustic reflections from the river sub-
bottom were received by the hydrophones. Data were transmitted via cable from the towfish to
the shipboard processing system workstation running Edgetech’s Discover software. The
processing system logged the return pulse signals and processed the data into time-based cross
sections of the acoustic response of the sub-bottom. By inputting the speed of sound measured at
the site (as determined with a Seabird SBE-19, 1427 ft/sec used) the time sections were
converted into pseudo-depth sections. Data were displayed as pseudo-depth cross sections of
acoustic response with time on a computer screen and logged to computer hard drive and then
transferred and archived to external data storage for permanent storage and later post-processing.
Figure 4-2 shows the only data collected behind the sheet pile wall to show any structure
(collected April 6th). Approximately three layers are discernable to a maximum depth of about
2.5 ft below the bottom. These layers were not compared to core data, but at 2.5 feet below the
bottom, it is not believed that the data extends to the ‘native’ material below the sediment
deposited in the flume. The bottom layer appears to have a gravel component while the
overlying sediment appears to be soft, fine grained material.
Data was collected with the more powerful, and lower frequency SB-216 on May 14th within the
flume area in Reach D. The results were no better than with the SB-424. The one file that spans
the largest area within the flume is presented in Figure 4-3. The May 14th SB-216 data were
colleted at approximately the same river stage as during the April 6th SB-424 data collection.
Figure 4-4 shows a representative sample of the SBP data collected during the survey outside of
the flume area. This survey line was in the main river channel and shows a clearly defined layer
below the existing river bottom. The blue surface is the under side of the digital terrain model
created from the bathymetry (within the IVS Fledermaus software). Data from within the water
intake basin does not show this layering.
