Products

• Differential Global Positioning System (dgps)

  There is the potential of fuel, oil and hazardous cargo leaking into a body of water which would cause an environmental disaster. A Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) can be used, along with a high resolution side scan sonar which produces an aerial photo-like image of the bottom, to conduct a search survey.

  By these means, McQuest Marine Sciences can locate the lost ship or barge and conduct a video inspection to determine and minimize environmental risk.
