Swathe Services
Provides hydrographic survey equipment and support services.
Swathe Services provides integrated support solutions for the airborne, land, marine, and subsea survey industries. The company supplies the equipment, people, expertise, and technology needed to support survey work, with a focus on matching the right solution to the survey requirement and adapting that support to different projects. Its business covers product sales, equipment rentals, personnel deployment, training, and bespoke solutions, all framed around survey and hydrographic projects. The company supports customers with survey equipment and software, offers ongoing assistance with installation, calibration, training, and best approach operation, and can provide equipment either as a standalone hire or alongside survey personnel. A significant part of the business is acting as a sales and support channel for selected survey manufacturers and systems. The company promotes survey equipment and software from those manufacturers and provides support for their installation, calibration, and use. It maintains an extensive rental pool of survey equipment, including systems built to produce high-resolution data and to be robust, reliable, and cost-effective. The rental offering can be paired with personnel for more complete field support. Swathe Services supplies experienced hydrographic personnel who can assist with installation, calibration, survey operation, and training, or manage a survey from start to finish. It offers practical training, including multi-beam training courses that cover equipment installation, interfacing, charting, and final products. Bespoke training packages are available for different experience levels, from entry-level graduates to highly experienced surveyors. The bespoke solutions side of the business extends to organizations undertaking surveys or hydrographic projects and can take in expert advice, equipment, technology, personnel, project management, training, or consultancy. Swathe Services serves organizations working across marine and hydrographic contexts, including Airborne, Land, Marine, and Subsea survey applications, and it supports surveyors, contractors, ports, harbours, dredging companies, construction companies, and hydrographic projects more broadly. What is distinctive is the company's integrated model: it combines sales, rentals, trained personnel, practical instruction, and custom project support rather than focusing on a single product line or isolated service.
