Overview
Orca Maritime specializes in underwater imagery and data collection, using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), towed systems and divers. Surveys conducted utilize sonar equipment that is the standard in both commercial enterprise and the United States Navy. Processed underwater information is provided in highly configured systems of record and engagement using the Esri ArcGIS platform. Orca Maritime builds Underwater Geographic Information Systems (UGIS) components to complement existing GIS programs or as stand-alone planning tools. All of the elements of a comprehensive underwater survey are compiled to deliver an accurate, layered Geographic Information System. This UGIS includes submerged infrastructure such as pipelines, cables and tunnels. It also includes a detailed geodatabase which comprises of bottom objects and pertinent environmental data. Using this information, a fully navigable web-based image rendering of the bottom is developed, giving a clear visual reference to where objects are in relation to each other. These UGIS products are information-rich and user friendly in order to support emergency action plans for military and commercial port security organizations, engineering maintenance programs, and environmental protection initiatives.
