JB Spatial has many years of experience working within the Ports and Shipping sector. Much of this work has focussed on driving efficiency in port management through detailed spatial analysis of the interaction between ports and channels in the context of prevailing environmental conditions.
This includes:
Bathymetric analysis
Highspot identification and analysis
Sand wave trend analysis
Environmental compliance reporting
Risk based decision frameworks
Dredge/disposal volume analysis
Bund design & construction
Turbidity Monitoring and Reporting
Bund capacity analysis
Wave analysis
Examples of our spatial analysis work in Ports and Shipping include:
Monitoring of turbidity, dissolved oxygen and light attenuation via a network of remote monitoring buoys.
Spatial and temporal analysis of changes in bathymetry due to scour and accretion, dredging activity, settlement and natural sand wave based sediment movement.
Analysis of ‘high spots’ to determine long-term trends, including calculation of volumes, areas and predictive modelling.
Strategic planning and business analysis to achieve strategic objectives for spatial information within the organisation.
Assessing and reporting project compliance with Environmental Management Plan (EMP) requirements, using systematic data capture and reporting in respect of dredging activity and its impact on environmental performance.
Development of Business Requirements, Use Cases, Functional Requirements and User Acceptance Testingfor the procurement and implementation of systems to manage and visualise environmental and bathymetric data.
Determination of channel accretion and calculation of dredge and disposal volumes.
Scenario based modelling of disposal capacities of dredged material grounds.
