Client Testimonials
"Undertaking processing of a third parties Backscatter data set is risky. It is difficult to control deliverable quality, as you don't control the acquisition setup or operation. It is also hard to estimate level of effort before seeing the raw data. Especially when the data is comprised of several different vessels and sonars. HydroOctave is unparalleled in their Backscatter knowledge. They provided the de-risking needed for our project to be successful and enabled us to deliver ahead of schedule. HydroOctave is the most unique and most qualified company for hydrographic data solutions." - Chris McHugh, Geophysical Technical Authority, Sulmara
"Jonathan’s technical expertise helped solve a multibeam acquisition issue that had baffled our team for weeks. He efficiently found the source of our problem and fluently explained the cause of the issue we were experiencing. We look forward to working with him in the future!" - Garrett Mitchell, Senior Geoscientist, Fugro USA Marine, Inc.
“It is difficult to articulate enough superlatives that describe Jonathan Beaudoin’s efforts on the Jefferson Project. https://jeffersonproject.rpi.edu/. His granular knowledge of hardware systems parameters, software and process, facilitated a complete customized acquisition and processing solution for the project. He worked with the sonar manufacturer (R2Sonic), software engineers (QPS) and industry experts to formulate a path and solutions to achieve project results. His efforts moved the industry forward and made the project a complete success.”

“We were at our wits end with a processing issue on one of our projects and didn’t know where to turn. That’s when one of our friends in the industry recommended we call HydroOctave for help. Wow, was our friend right. HydroOctave jumped in immediately, worked with our people and solved the problem! I don’t know where we would be on this project without their help! Thank you for being there for us!” - David O’Brien, SurvTech Solutions
“Very helpful insights for the future applications of our innovative technologies.” - Arnold Furlong, Dartmouth Ocean Technologies Inc.
“HydroOctave played a key role in my team of in-house and contracted people who undertook the first mineral-exploration scale MBES survey of parts of the Bismark Sea. Jonathan's assistance through the entire process, from determining which sensor to hire, to its installation, and of course with processing the data all contributed to making the survey the great success that it was.”- Joel Jansen, Teck Resources
“I was really impressed with your rapid and thorough responses.” - Sara Lise Underhay, DEEP B.V.
“HydroOctave completed a review of the GSFv2.07 source with a focus on ensuring that the defined data structures provide sufficient information to support full swath recalculation of the platform relative soundings from raw data for the then current Kongsberg family of multibeam sonar systems. They provided valuable feedback and input that remains in use in GSF today.”
