The week-long course was jointly conducted by Unique System’s engineering team along with Pat Sanders, the President of HYPACK. The second week of the training focused on HYPACK and its software solutions. Workshop sessions were also included to better understand some of the widely used survey equipments such as underwater gyros, magnetometers & gradiometers, side scan sonars & sub bottom profilers, tide gauges, wave sensors and meteorological & water quality sensors. Some of the significant topics and systems covered during the week included single beam and multibeam survey planning & designing, Single Beam Echo Sounder (SBES) & Multi Beam Echo Sounder (MBES) Interfacing, RTK & DGPS positioning systems, surface positioning & navigation, calibration, underwater positioning and seismic data acquisition & post processing. A wide range of geophysical, environmental and oceanographic survey systems were discussed along with some hands-on workshop sessions. The first week of the survey training was kick started with an introduction to the hydrographic, geophysical and oceanographic survey industry by our highly competent engineering team. It provides the Surveyor with all the tools needed to design their survey, collect data, process it, reduce it, and generate final products.

HYPACK is one of the most widely used hydrographic surveying packages in the world, with more than 4,000 users. The training courses were held from the 16th to the 27th of November 2014. As a precursor to this hugely popular course, a string of training topics, both technical and operational remarkably influencing the current market trends in the survey industry were also discussed as a part of the training schedule. has successfully conducted HYPACK’s hydrographic & offshore survey training course at its training centre in Hamriyah Free Zone, Sharjah, UAE.

A division of the Unique Maritime Group (UMG) which is one of the world’s leading integrated turnkey subsea and offshore solution providers, Unique System FZE in conjunction with HYPACK Inc.
