Marine Outfall Studies:
Marine
outfall studies are carried out to assess the assimilative capacities
of receiving waters and to provide the optimum location and length of
the outfall pipe. Typically, a programme of field measurements is
undertaken to provide data for engineering purposes and to assist in the
calibration and verification of hydrodynamic/dispersion modelling.

The field measurements generally consist of a combination of the following:-
- Current Profiling
- Recording Current Measurements
- Drogue or Float Tracking
- Dye Dispersion Tests
- Tide Level Measurements
- Meteorological Measurements
- Bathymetry (Multibeam or Single Beam)
- Topography (in intertidal zone to above the HW mark)
When a potential route/location has been identified further field data may be required, such as:-
- Sidescan Sonar
- Magnetometer
- Sub-bottom Profiling
