Survey teams collect sonar/LiDAR data. Divers perform subsurface repairs and inspection. All work is logged, photographed, and tracked for QA/QC under Marine Contractors’ best practices.

5. Processing & Analysis

Our analysts prepare sonar mosaics, 3D models, UT reports, CAD drawings, compliance logs, and project recommendations.

6. Project Delivery

Clients receive complete digital archives, engineer-grade outputs, compliance packages, and maintenance plans.
