Hydrographic Surveying Benefits

According to NOAA, there are nearly 3.5 million square nautical miles of waters in the U.S. that must be monitored, charted and understood. McKim & Creed’s hydrographic surveying professionals provide the services that help governments, organizations, communities and private companies accomplish those tasks.

Hydrographic surveyors help locate and map submerged objects, which creates safer waterways for ship captains and reduces the likelihood of costly and dangerous collisions. Combining MoDaC Mobile Data Collection® with multibeam capabilities allows McKim & Creed to collect vast amounts of dense data of both underwater and above-water structures in a fraction of the time required by conventional surveying. Our small survey vessels enable us to capture critical data quickly, safely and accurately. RTK GPS technology can cut costs while providing the accuracy needed for better planning and design documents. Beach profiles help communities manage coastal resources and assess damages from natural and manmade disasters. And McKim & Creed’s multiple locations and experienced, qualified staff of hydrographic surveyors enable us to respond to your needs quickly and cost-effectively.
