About this Event

The Mapping and Surveillance of Critical Underwater Infrastructure is recognised as being of increased importance in the current Geopolitical climate, providing as it does essential information on threats to asset integrity, as well as the preparation and maintenance of on-going risk assessments and contingency plans.

For this year’s joint RICS and Hydrographic Society meeting we are once again joining forces with the Society for Underwater Technology to explore the requirements and challenges of providing this vital contribution to the resilience of critical underwater infrastructure.
