Bathymetric Surveys in Southern Ontario

At Trillium Imaging Services, we deliver high-resolution bathymetric surveys using drone-deployed sonar systems, giving engineers, municipalities, and environmental professionals the detailed underwater data they need — quickly, safely, and cost-effectively.
Whether you’re assessing a stormwater pond, planning a dredging operation, or monitoring sediment buildup, our bathymetric surveys provide the reliable depth and terrain data required for informed decision-making:

What We Offer

Drone-Based Bathymetric Surveys
Rapid deployment using advanced sonar-equipped drones — no boats or divers required.
High-Resolution Depth Mapping
Capture precise data on lakebeds, stormwater ponds, reservoirs, and other water bodies.
Topographic Models & Visual Reports
Receive easy-to-interpret 2D and 3D visualizations, contour maps, and digital elevation models (DEMs).
Integrated Aerial + Bathymetric Services
Combine aerial site mapping with subsurface bathymetric data for a complete surface and underwater profile.
