Recent high-resolution surveys of the wreck of New Flame, sunk by collision in the Straits of Gibraltar, exploited the full potential of multibeam sonar systems and utilised advanced data collection methodology conceived by ADUS. The resulting point cloud data was then visualised using 3D interactive techniques developed by the company. The results provided the salvage team with clearer and more informative imagery than has been available previously from other more conventional surveys.
It also allowed the agreed clearance depth over the wreck to be clearly defined, which was checked and confirmed by a later post-clearance survey.
