    Conducts hands-on dive and climb inspections of timber, steel, and concrete structures, including piers, dams, docks, and water tanks.

  • Asset Inventory and Condition Assessment

    Delivers detailed condition reports, specialized access investigations, and structural baseline logs for public and private owners.

Engineering and Rehabilitation Design

Service website

Develops structural solutions and cost evaluations to restore and maintain marine and coastal infrastructure.

  • Structural Rehabilitation Design

    Designs structural repairs, bulkheads, piers, and other marine-related protective measures.

  • Construction Repair Estimating

    Provides construction cost planning, value engineering, and detailed repair estimations from bid through project close-out.

  • Cathodic Protection Design

    Evaluates marine structures for corrosion hazards and designs target cathodic protection systems.

Hydrographic Surveying and Remote Sensing

Service website

Deploys specialized marine vessels, submersibles, and aerial sensors to map underwater and surface assets.

  • Geo-Referenced Sonar and Fathometer Surveys

    Executes rapid fathometer surveys and underwater mapping for bridges, culverts, and coastal boundaries using riverine and coastal vessels.

  • ROV and Aerial Drone Inspection

    Deploys light-duty remote operated vehicles and aerial drones to capture and interpret marine and overhead imagery safely.

Hydraulic Modeling and Bridge Scour

Service website

Analyzes the hydraulic forces acting on coastal and riverine bridge infrastructure to mitigate structural risks.

  • Two-Dimensional Scour Modeling

    Models tidal and coastal wave bridge scour, evaluates stream stability, and designs scour counter-measures.

  • Field Instrumentation and Calibration

    Installs and monitors real-world sensor arrays on bridges and marine facilities to calibrate hydraulic models with empirical data.
