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.

Ingest01

Connect vessels & partners

Securely ingest raw MBES lines, logs, and metadata while preserving lineage and survey configs.

Automate QA/QC02

Adaptive MBES checks

Noise classification, spike detection, and SVP/tide handling run automatically with alerting for anomalies.

Process & Analyse03

Parallelised in the cloud

Scales out gridding, uncertainty surfaces, and change detection to keep turnaround predictable as volumes grow.

Deliver & Integrate04

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.
Automation Coverage
~90%+

Designed to automate the bulk of repeatable MBES QC and processing actions.

Turnaround Speed
Hours

Parallelised pipelines keep daily survey lines reviewable the same shift.

Delivery Modes
BAG • GeoTIFF • S-57/101

Standard deliverables delivered directly, with online access coming soon.

Reliability
SLA-focused

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.
Coming SoonAdditional deliverables are in development on the same automation-first foundations.
