Noise levels monitoring during maritime works

In Monaco (south of France), it is required to monitor the underwater noise emitted during maritime works.
This monitoring must be carried out in real time with automatic alerts to prevent damages on marine species.
The solution should be easy to set up and install by any potential environmental companies that would like to monitor noise level or marine mammals’ presence.

ACOUSTB, a French acoustics expertise company, is a partner who help its clients meet the challenges they face, providing them technical expertise and support they need. 

ACOUSTB relied on Sercel for his technical expertise acquired over more than 40 years.

Quietsea Service is a Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) method that allows to detect the acoustic signals of marine mammals, such as dolphins or whales, and measures acoustic noise levels during maritime works while preserving the underwater environment.

For marine mammal detection in precise offshore areas, this version offers a compact & complete solution.

Real-time and autonomous passive acoustic monitoring  :

• Real-time alerts on your smartphone (e-mail)
• Automatic alert even all weather condition 
• Marine mammal detection with broadband hydrophones.
• Active detection at night and in low visibility conditions. 
• Solar panel battery 

By automating detection, the system also reduces manpower requirements compared to traditional systems.

Application : 
Offshore wind construction / Harbor Construction / Pile Driving Operations / Offshore drilling / Dredging / Oceanographic Survey (Upstream/Downstream).
