The Odom Echotrac CV provides optimal integration with the Silas software system, allowing for a versatile range of operations to be performed, from a nautical depth survey to seabed classification. The integrated system offers the functionality of a digital sub-bottom profiler as well as an echo sounder, providing all the information needed to conduct maintenance and capital dredging operations.

Unlike more traditional systems, this package can detect and display areas of fluid silt through which ships can manoeuvre safely. It presents a picture showing how a silt layer is built up. A red line shows the nautical depth level at which ships can no longer manoeuvre. The unique blue line indicates the top of the silt. Ships can manoeuvre through areas indicated between the two lines, which means the total amount of dredging required, and resulting cost, can be reduced considerably.
