DATASHEETTrimble Marine Construction
Software for Positioning
The Trimble Marine Construction Software for Positioning provides
contractors with the ability to perform their own pre-/post-constructionhydrographic survey.
The system consists of Trimble Marine
Construction software and a single beam echosounder (SBES) for data acquisition, editing,plotting and dredge volume calculations.
Contractors can reduce rework, increase
productivity and improve site safety witha better understanding of the underwater
environment.
The accuracy of the waterway bed survey isthe combined accuracy of the GNSS position
and the echosounder, which can be better than
10 cm (4 inches) vertically. The use of Trimble
Marine Construction software real-time filters
helps to create a clean surface that can be sent
to the dredge or the office for analysis.
This well-featured, long-established software
has been tested in the field on many sites.
Functionality can be extended with a toolboxof associated software (e.g. Trimble MarineConstruction Dredging and Placement) andsensors. It is well-supported by the global
Trimble Marine dealer network, who will help
select, install and train your team to reachyour goals.

Key Features

APPLICATIONS►► Simple SBES data acquisition

The Trimble Marine Construction Software
for Positioning is suitable for navigation tasks
such as:►► Accurate dredge volume calculations►► Clear and precise survey boat, workboat

or barge positioning and orientation at thedredge/construction site►► Aid to Navigation (ATON) buoys andanchor placement►► Dredging support for pre-/post-dredge

surveys to identify high and low spots►► Calculate progress volumes and send gridmodel updates to both the office and thedredge vessel►► Aquaculture construction and navigation(e.g. oyster, mussel farms)

management, editing and plotting►► Supports subscription electroniccharts, open-source charts andAutomatic Identification Systems (AIS)
for improved safety and navigation incongested waterways►► Compatible with a wide range of Trimble

and third-party sensors (single beamecho sounders, Trimble GNSS receivers,attitude sensors, etc.)►► Quickly generate run-line patterns

before or during a survey for precise
navigation and greater efficiency►► Low cost, simple background charting

Electronic Chart Display and Information
System (ECDIS)►► Real-time echogram display forseabed/riverbed feature inspection andidentification►► Reliable and stable solution suitable forthe challenges of marine construction
large data sets►► Offline echogram editing►► Innovative single beam interpolationin Digital Terrain Model (DTM) for
better results►► Undo and redo editing functions►► Interactive graphical user interface with

top, profile and 3D views and colorcoded Digital Terrain Model (DTM)►► Apply Sound Velocity Profiles (SVP)►► Advanced plotting and reporting
