- pH
- Dissolved oxygen
- Turbidity
- Chlorophyll
- Blue-green algae
- Other parameters depending on the selected sensor package
Underwater Inspection
With imaging sonar or scanning sonar payloads, ME120 can support inspection tasks around:
- Bridges
- Ports
- Reservoirs
- Intake structures
- Dams
- Underwater infrastructure
Environmental and Water Conservancy Projects
ME120 is suitable for:
- Water conservancy departments
- Environmental monitoring agencies
- Survey companies
- Research institutes
- Engineering contractors
It provides a flexible unmanned platform for repeated survey and monitoring work.
