Purpose:
This course provides participants with the knowledge and technology required in performing hydrographic surveys in support of USACE navigation, dredging, surveying, coastal engineering, inland waterways and related marine construction activities. The course is designed to provide engineers, engineer technicians, field survey technicians, survey vessel operators, and A-E contract administration personnel with a technical familiarization of the criteria, standards, and specifications in EM 1110-2-1003, "Hydrographic Surveying", and applying this manual in performing in-house and contracted hydrographic surveys.
Description:
This course provides instruction on the process and technology used to conduct hydrographic surveys. The instructional program emphasizes the processes required to most effectively perform hydrographic surveys. The major subject areas covered include: hydrography, survey datums, depth and position determination, horizontal and vertical error estimation and analysis, tidal theory, computer hardware and software used for automated hydrographic surveys, fluff measurement, volume computations, multi-beam swath and multitransducer sweep systems, GPS positioning, LIDAR, and project planning. Some horizontal and vertical measurement concepts and techniques will be demonstrated in the field.
Prerequisites:
Nominees should be assigned (a) Occupational Series: 0800 (engineers, engineer technicians), 0817 and 1300 (field survey technicians), and 0095 and 1100 (A-E contract administration personnel); (b) Grade: GS-05 or above. Waivers will be considered.
