SSCN-SEGMENT-2-E: Shallow Waters Bathymetry in Beagle Marine Park, 2024

EGS Survey Pty Ltd collected this bathymetric dataset onboard the RV Bold Explorer between March 7 and April 4, 2024. The survey supports engineering and route planning for the SUBCO Subsea Cable Network's Segment 2-E between Perth and Sydney. Its primary purpose is to identify seafloor conditions suitable for cable ploughing and burial, avoiding slopes greater than 6° and obstacles.

Use Cases

• Plan subsea cable routes based on seafloor slope and obstacle data mentioned in the description
• Model cable burial feasibility based on described sea floor conditions affecting ploughing
• Identify potential hazards for marine construction based on described obstacles like rock outcrops and shipwrecks

Strengths

• Data was collected during a dedicated 29-day survey in 2024
• Survey purpose and contractor (EGS Survey Pty Ltd) are clearly specified
• Geographic scope is precisely confined to the Beagle Marine Park

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to data_gov_au
