Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a thorough overview of using side scan sonar technology to survey and assess underwater structures for coastal engineering purposes. It covers sonar components, operating procedures, and applications, with a particular emphasis on inspection of coastal structures such as breakwaters and jetties. The author shares their field experience gained through the course of using sonar in coastal engineering applications, together with an evaluation of commercially available side scan sonar systems, all clearly presented with the aim of helping the reader use this tool effectively in the field. It gives guidance on many aspects, including: equipment, interpretation of data, system configuration, operations, and potential applications. The book will be of interest to coastal engineers, port engineers, oceanographers, and anyone involved in the inspection or assessment of underwater structures. Its insights help readers to assess potential cost savings, improve safety, and better manage maintenance and repair of coastal structures.
