The Peppercorn Project was a large-scale bathymetric survey near Sihanoukville for the purpose of planning the development of a port. In total, we surveyed 45 square kilometers of the seabed, 100 hectares of land, tested 22 seafloor soil samples, and deployed our Accoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP).
Our seafloor and land survey data was carefully combined enabling the accurate mapping of the area’s topography, including all slopes. Our ADCP deployments provided crucial information regarding waves, currents, and sedimentation rates. Finally, the seafloor soil sampling provided valuable information to aid in determining piling and foundations for the structure. We successfully achieved our project objective and provided our client with accurate maps and a detailed analysis of our fieldwork data, tidal data, and meteorological data.
