Sludge Mapping In Perth Lagoon
Client's challenge: Quantify and map sludge in a naturally lined wastewater lagoon built over a riverbed. The client was concerned that the riverbed would be a difficult area to accurately identify sludge accumulation.
Hydrasurvey's solution: Hydrasurvey conducted sludge surveys in three cells in Perth, Ontario.
Hydrasurvey’s standardized procedure to manually map the liner was used to differentiate the liner from the top of the sludge blanket.
The liner map enables us to distinguish between the top of sludge and the liner using sonar.
Our single beam sonar was then used to map the lagoons for sludge accumulation and distinguish the riverbed.
