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. Clients can track processing and export progress live in our web-based viewer, with exports generated on demand.
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
Clients send their MBES data to HydroStack, and we process it in our secure cloud environment using our own software platform, HydroStack. We run the full processing workflow and deliver outputs directly, with no local installs or licenses required. Compute scales automatically to keep delivery predictable, while clients follow progress and export status live through our web-based processing viewer.
You send data. We process in HydroStack cloud. You track progress live and export on demand.
- →Simple handoff: You send the data. HydroStack processes it in our cloud platform while your team tracks each stage in the web viewer.
- →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, with on-demand exports triggered directly in the viewer.

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. Clients can monitor progress in real time and request exports directly from the web-based processing viewer.
Connect vessels & partners
Securely ingest raw MBES lines, logs, and metadata while clients track project status in the web viewer.
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
Generate .gsf, .las, and GeoTIFF deliverables on demand with live export updates in the viewer.
Export-ready deliverables
Produce the full suite of hydrographic outputs in the browser, with live visibility of processing and export progress. HydroStack captures every step so you can reproduce, audit, and iterate with confidence.
Live web-based delivery and tracking
Clients can follow processing status live, review outputs in the viewer, and generate exports on demand without heavy file exchange cycles.
- Track processing and exports live without installing new software.
- Generate .gsf, .las, and GeoTIFF exports on demand in the viewer.
