CERNOS SMS

Scour Monitoring System

Monitor scour before it threatens asset stability

Scour around piles, foundations and underwater structures can alter asset support conditions and increase infrastructure risk. Conventional surveys provide valuable snapshots, but significant change can occur between survey intervals.

CERNOS SMS provides autonomous, repeatable monitoring of seabed conditions and alerts stakeholders when scour volume or profile changes exceed defined thresholds.

How CERNOS SMS works

A high-resolution sonar scans the surrounding seabed across a radius of up to 100 metres and through 360 degrees. Edge-processing technology converts the sonar data into periodic 3D seabed models. Each new scan is compared against an established baseline to identify changes in scour volume or seabed profile.

When a client-defined threshold is breached, nominated stakeholders receive an email and SMS notification, including a link to download the latest model for detailed office-based assessment.

What CERNOS SMS does

CERNOS SMS can provide:

Repeatable 3D seabed models
Scour-volume change detection
Seabed profile comparison
Baseline-to-current condition analysis
Configurable change thresholds
Automated email and SMS alerts
Downloadable models for further assessment
A historical record of changing seabed conditions

CERNOS SMS can help asset managers, engineers and environmental specialists:

Identify developing scour around critical infrastructure
Understand the extent and rate of seabed change
Monitor conditions between conventional surveys
Prioritise inspections, surveys and remediation
Evaluate change following vessel activity, weather or operational events
Support evidence-based asset and environmental assessments
Reduce the time between change occurring and stakeholders becoming aware of it
