Over 20 methods are available to compute the area and volume of material for each profile segment (left slope, main channel, right slope), it can compute quantities for a single survey versus the design template, or for a pre-dredge versus an after-dredge comparison. The program is the de facto standard for volume computations by several national survey agencies. The CROSS SECTIONS AND VOLUMES program quickly computes volume quantities for cross sectional profile lines compared to the channel design template and channel overdepth template for each line. It can compute volume quantities either from sections across channels or from surface models (TIN MODEL). The HYPACK ® ability to compute volume quantities is unsurpassed. MAPPER is a binning routine that can select minimum, maximum, average, or sounding closest to cell center to represent each cell.SOUNDING SELECTION selects min/max soundings and fills in between.CROSS SORT selects random soundings and packs them in tight.SORT selects the shoalest soundings and prevents overwrites.

There are several options for sounding reduction, depending on your final product:

Display of design templates and previous survey profiles.

Display of acoustic profile for network capable soundings.

Graphical review and editing of tracklines and depth profiles.

The SINGLE BEAM EDITOR of HYPACK ® provides for: HYPACK ® provides graphical editing and sounding selection routines that allow you to quickly prepare your survey data for plotting, export to CAD or several other final products.

ADVANCED CHANNEL DESIGN creates complex 3D surfaces for precise dredging and volume computations.

CHANNEL DESIGN automatically creates planned lines and cross sectional profiles for channels and turning basins.

HYPACK ® contains powerful tools that let you quickly design your survey:
