Emergency Call-out Surveys
Our surveyors conduct emergency Call-out surveys after hurricanes, storms, and incidents including collissions and lost cargo. These surveys are accomplished with side scan and single beam sonar systems to identify and report locations of objects and debris in channels and coastal waters.
Recently our staff worked around the clock with as many as 9 boats in the Houston Channel and intercoastal waterways performing crossline condition surveys due to the devastation left by Hurricane Ike. Our Processing, Cartography and Drafting departments pulled some long hours and late nights to help with data preparation.
We can provide the trained staff and both owned and rented equipment and vessels, depending on the size, type and location of the response effort.
