Bathy2_GreatLakes_NV5


Southern Lake Michigan Survey (NOAA)


Deployed across nearshore and offshore zones, our two-vessel operation leveraged real-time QA/QC via SIMS and onboard Starlink to identify new navigational hazards and enhance NOAA's nautical charts, supporting safer transit and long-term infrastructure planning.

Bogue Banks Sand Search (Carteret County / Moffatt & Nichol)


In one of the East Coast's largest sand surveys, NV5 combines modern sonar tech with historic geotechnical data to locate sustainable borrow sites. Our custom Advance Sand Search GIS tool is now guiding permitting and planning efforts for years of beach re-nourishment to come.
