Why NV5

Purpose-Built for Great Lakes and Coastal Conditions
Our vessels, workflows, and technology are tailored to the unique challenges of shallow waters, dynamic morphology , and unpredictable weather patterns.

Actionable Intelligence, Not Just Data
We integrate acquisition, analysis, and delivery, using real-time tools like SIMS for transparency and QA/QC.

Proven Partnerships
We are trusted to deliver results across federal, state, and commercial projects for organizations like NOAA, USACE, BOEM, and Private Sector Clients.
Aerial and Topobathymetric Lidar
Multibeam and Sidescan Sonar
Sub-bottom Profiling and Magnetometry
Crew-operated Vessels and Autonomous Survey
Real-time Project Management via SIMS
GIS-based Reporting & Visualization Tools

Some of Our Work

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.
