Hydrographic & Geophysical Surveying

Seeing the Unknown

At TBS, our hydrographic surveyors have the capability to inspect seafloor conditions, investigate underwater obstructions, and serve as an underwater set of eyes for search, rescue, and recovery operations. Using gathered data, our professionals create detailed models of rivers, lakes, bays, and the ocean seafloor. Regardless of vessel type or project site, our professionals are capable of producing detailed maps, digital imagery, and video graphics from field and office locations.
