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

Bathymetric survey data for a subsea cable route within Australia's Beagle Marine Park, acquired by EGS Survey Pty Ltd between March 7 and April 4, 2024. The survey was conducted from the vessel RV Bold Explorer to support the engineering and construction of the SUBCO Subsea Cable Network (SSCN) Segment 2-E. The primary purpose was to identify a secure cable route clear of obstacles and excessive slopes.

Use Cases

• Identify suitable cable burial paths based on seafloor slope analysis mentioned in the description
• Plan submarine cable installation to avoid obstacles like rock outcrops and existing infrastructure described in the survey purpose
• Assess seafloor conditions for cable ploughing feasibility based on the described survey parameters

Strengths

• Data was acquired during a dedicated 29-day survey period in 2024.
• Survey purpose is clearly defined for engineering a subsea cable route.

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 bias inherent to the specific marine park survey area.
