Underwater Technical Services

Overview
Projects involving underwater service areas are often complex, costly, and controversial. Cost-effective resolution of technical or liability issues requires that the most comprehensive and objective data be made available at a reasonable cost. Anything less is ultimately more expensive and leaves the client less prepared. Accurate underwater data collection in offshore, coastal, and inland environments requires intelligent integration of technology, experience, and common sense. CSA International provides these qualities through its professional staff of underwater technical specialists.

CSA International employs a diversified inventory of state-of-the-art equipment and technologies to provide the client with a multidisciplinary approach for a broad range of underwater survey and structural inspection requirements. In-house systems and capabilities include:

• Construction Review
• Underwater Photography
• Video Mapping with GIS Interface
• Side-scan Sonar Surveys
• Subbottom Profiling Surveys

Reports are computer generated and may include CAD drawings, color graphics, and digitized video images. Inspection data are stored on computer for retrieval and comparison during future projects. In-house quality assurance protocols and concise reporting provide CSA International's clients with the most accurate and detailed information possible.
