Terradepth

Terradepth, headquartered in Austin, Texas, specializes in Ocean Data as a Service (ODaaS) and offers autonomous survey services. The company developed Absolute Ocean, a cloud-native geospatial data management solution, to serve industries including energy, infrastructure, maritime services, and government. Terradepth focuses on faster, greener, and cheaper ocean data collection using fleets of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). These AUVs provide long-endurance and low-logistics survey services, enhancing operational efficiency, promoting innovation, and improving collaboration in key industries. The company aims to create a better relationship with oceans for a sustainable future by turning Earth’s oceans into an immersive and accurate virtual world. Terradepth’s high-tech autonomous submersibles offer comprehensive, high-resolution ocean data collection, detailed data-capture paired with big data analytics and machine learning, and persistent surveillance of subsea environments. Their environmentally friendly and cost-effective survey solutions include high-resolution geophysical (HRG) surveys and battery-operated AUVs launched from smaller vessels to reduce environmental impact. The Absolute Ocean platform supports near real-time data delivery, secure data management, and sharing for government agencies, utilizing Google Cloud infrastructure. Terradepth also offers flexible learning options, modular Gavia AUVs for customized survey services, and visualization of various ocean data types including bathymetry, side scan sonar, and LIDAR. The company has been selected by Terna for marine geophysical survey services in Ischia, Italy, and collaborated with T&T Survey to save Gulf Copper and the Battleship Texas Foundation a full day of downtime. Their solutions support commercial applications such as site clearance, pipeline inspection, and archaeological surveys, as well as sectors like global telecom, clean energy, and national security.
