Accelerating hydrographic data processing
through AI-powered, cloud-native pipelines
HydroStack is a next-generation marine data company transforming how hydrographic survey data is processed, analysed, and delivered. Our platform is purpose-built for high-volume datasets using intelligent automation, scalable cloud infrastructure, and AI-powered pipelines. We run HydroStack in our secure processing environment and deliver processed outputs directly.
The Problem
- •Slow starts: moving survey data around burns time on limited bandwidth.
- •Local workstations choke on today’s high-res MBES sets; queues back up.
- •Manual QC and corrections eat expert hours.
- •Results vary by processor/tools; hard to reproduce and defend.
- •Not enough skilled processors; projects slip (ports, offshore wind, routes).
Our Solution
Our own AI algorithms run on our cloud-native platform built specifically for MBES data. We process client data in our secure processing environment and deliver outputs directly, with no local installs or licences required. Compute scales automatically to keep delivery predictable.
- →Faster turnaround: Parallelised, cloud-native processing keeps daily lines reviewable the same shift.
- →Reproducible QA/QC: AI-assisted MBES QC with auditable steps reduces manual rework and variance.
- →Scalable delivery: Automated processing keeps outputs flowing to teams and partners without idle hardware.

Platform overview
HydroStack is purpose-built for MBES-heavy campaigns. It ingests raw lines, automates QA/QC, parallelises processing in the cloud, and delivers standards-first outputs. Owning the full stack means we can adapt pipelines instantly, maintain auditability, and keep delivery schedules predictable even when volumes spike.
Connect vessels & partners
Securely ingest raw MBES lines, logs, and metadata while preserving lineage and survey configs.
Adaptive MBES checks
Noise classification, spike detection, and SVP/tide handling run automatically with alerting for anomalies.
Parallelised in the cloud
Scales out gridding, uncertainty surfaces, and change detection to keep turnaround predictable as volumes grow.
Standards-first outputs
Produce BAG, GeoTIFF, and S-57/101 deliverables ready for direct delivery.
- MBES-first automationAutomated MBES classification, target detection, SV updates, and beam-level QA—all tuned for dense MBES datasets.
- Scale on demandElastic compute queues keep pace with heavy survey days without idle hardware or manual babysitting.
- Audit-ready lineageEvery raw file, filter, and grid is versioned so teams can reproduce results and meet IHO S-44 and client specs.
Designed to automate the bulk of repeatable MBES QC and processing actions.
Parallelised pipelines keep daily survey lines reviewable the same shift.
Standard deliverables delivered directly, with online access coming soon.
Uptime, audit trails, and rollback-friendly processing to maintain trust.
Export-ready deliverables
Produce the full suite of hydrographic outputs for direct delivery, ready for stakeholders, regulators, or downstream processing. HydroStack captures every step so you can reproduce, audit, and iterate with confidence.
Secure online delivery coming soon
We currently deliver outputs directly. In a future release, we will enable secure online delivery and review so clients can access the latest processing without heavy file exchanges.
- Access deliverables securely without installing new software.
- Stay in sync with project updates without manual exchange cycles.
