Services
Hydrographic Surveying
Our hydrographic surveying services utilize multibeam sonar and sub-bottom profilers to map underwater terrain with centimeter-level accuracy. We support dredging operations, port infrastructure, and environmental assessments by creating detailed bathymetric charts and submerged feature documentation. This technology enables precise volume calculations and underwater condition analysis for maritime and coastal projects.
Drone Surveying
Using FAA-certified pilots and advanced drones like the WingtraOne, we capture high-resolution aerial imagery for topographic mapping. Our drone surveys produce geo-referenced orthophotos, 3D models, and NDVI maps covering large areas up to 960 acres in a single flight. This technology provides cost-effective data collection for construction monitoring and land development projects.
Land & Sea Surveying Concepts
We conduct boundary, topographic, and construction layout surveys using robotic total stations and RTK GPS systems. Our services support property development, infrastructure projects, and legal documentation with precise measurements of surface features and elevation changes. This includes right-of-way mapping and utility infrastructure documentation.
Subsurface Utility Location
Our subsurface utility detection combines ground-penetrating radar and electromagnetic locators to identify buried infrastructure. We provide accurate mapping of underground utilities for construction planning and conflict avoidance, meeting industry standards for damage prevention during excavation projects.
Bathymetric Mapping
We create detailed underwater topographic maps using singlebeam and multibeam sonar systems. These bathymetric surveys support navigation safety, environmental monitoring, and dredging operations by documenting seabed contours and submerged object locations with high spatial resolution.
