Following the privatisation of the former Ports Corporation of South Australia, the new port operator, Flinders Ports, determined that the existing hydrographic surveying capability adopt a unique business identity. The evolution to 'HydroSurvey Australia' recognises the services provided by the group not only to Flinders Ports, but to a growing number of external clients.

As a result of its long-term commitment to conducting regular surveys of the channels of the major commercial ports of South Australia currently operated by Flinders Ports, HydroSurvey Australia has developed the skills and expertise to be at the leading edge of applied marine GIS (geographic information systems) technology.

As part of it's regular port program, the group performs surveys of navigational channels for design and maintenance purposes. In addition to this core function, the group has undertaken contract hydrographic and bathymetric surveys for the design and construction of commercial ports and marinas, for navigation purposes, sweep surveys, locating shoals and reefs, measuring currents and coastal sand migration.

The wide-ranging skills and experience of key personnel are complemented with modern, state-of-the-art technology and equipment used in all facets of hydrographic surveying and data management.
