Bathymetric Surveying

Measures water depth and maps submerged terrain using single-beam and multibeam sonar for rivers, lakes, reservoirs, channels, navigation routes, and other project areas.

Dredge Surveys & Monitoring

Provides pre-dredge, progress, and post-dredge surveys to establish existing conditions, track work, and verify completed depths, elevations, and changes to the underwater surface.

Integrated 3D Mapping 
Multibeam & Vessel-Based LiDar

Combines underwater sonar mapping with above-water laser scanning to develop coordinated 3D information for shorelines, bridges, dams, banks, navigation areas, and other built environments.

Underwater Infrastructure & Structural Surveys

Maps submerged and partially submerged infrastructure such as bridge pilings, dam components, intakes, foundations, and related structures, including bed-condition and scour assessment.

Underwater Inspection & Imaging

Uses ROVs, side scan sonar, and imaging sonar to locate, inspect, and document underwater objects or structures where visibility, access, or working conditions are limited.

Sediment & Subsurface Investigation 

Uses sub-bottom profiling to investigate layers beneath the bed and core sampling to recover physical sediment for examination, characterization, or project-specific testing.
