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 for the SUBCO Subsea Cable Network (SSCN) Segment 2-E cable route survey. The data covers the Beagle Marine Park and was acquired between March 7 and April 4, 2024. The primary purpose was to determine a viable and secure cable route by identifying sea floor conditions, slopes, and obstacles.

Use Cases

• Modeling sea floor topography for cable route planning based on bathymetric survey data.
• Identifying potential obstacles for subsea cable burial based on descriptions of rock outcrops and existing infrastructure.
• Assessing slope stability for cable installation based on the survey's focus on slopes exceeding 6 degrees.

Strengths

• Data was collected during a dedicated survey mission between March 7 and April 4, 2024.
• The survey was conducted by a professional contractor, EGS Survey Pty Ltd, for a specific engineering purpose.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and spatial resolution are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
