Overview

Full life-cycle Construction Management System for breakwater construction projects, used from design through all construction phases and subsequent breakwater maintenance and inspection. The solution provides technology and associated workflow to, in real time 3D, see, track, place, monitor and document block placement and movement throughout the construction of the breakwater and deliver critical engineering data to the project and construction engineers.

Our CMS solution is the leading industry solution, which has been developed in collaboration with prominent engineering firms since 2008 and is approved by the Block Manufacturers who design the breakwater technical specifications. CMS is used on many breakwater projects around the world, many often multi-years projects, for both the pre- and post-lay survey activities extending to all common single-layer concrete armor block types.

The CMS solution is used in conjunction with our Echoscope® real-time 3D sonar systems and our new Echoscope Air 3D Depth Cameras to provide seamless above and below water real time visualization of the moving blocks in all water conditions and day or night visibility, tracking of the block's position/orientation, accurate placement of the blocks, recording the block's as-laid position/orientation and delivering survey grade results in accordance with Project Engineering Requirements.

Because the solution provides a seamless work-flow and allows the operator to see the blocks in real-time 3D, this significantly reduces the time it takes to place the blocks and increases the safety of those involved in the block placement process. Users of our CMS Solution obtain significant productivity gains when using our CMS solution in the construction or remediation of breakwater sites.
