Beauty on the Bay

eTrac has office locations in California, Washington and Alaska where project planning, data processing, and product generation occurs. We also staff our “mobile offices”, the vessels on which data is collected and QC’d on a regular basis. We are dependent on our fleet of vessels and the employees that spend day after day on the water throughout the west coast supporting the dredging, charting and environment remediation industry. There is a dynamic relationship between data collection on the water and data processing in our office for the overall quality control of our products to our clients.


Remote Surveys at Glen Canyon Dam

eTrac has designed and built a new remotely controlled survey craft: S/V ROVer! This compact, versatile, and highly transportable Remote Operated Vessel is indeed a surveyor’s best friend. Following its first survey at the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor Hawaii in late August, it was successfully deployed for a high resolution mapping effort at the Glen Canyon Dam in Arizona.


Maintenance Survey of a Breakwall

eTrac provides high resolution imagery on breakwalls to help keep them maintained. Breakwalls are often constructed atop moveable material which requires them to be constantly monitored for movement or deterioration due to constant wave action. This imagery provides a detailed look at the complete structure of a breakwall in order to determine if repairs are needed.
