What We Do

Specialized Marine Services for the Gulf Coast

Four core disciplines. One integrated team. Turnkey solutions delivered with the precision and accountability that complex marine environments demand.

01

Hydrographic/Land Surveying

Precision underwater mapping for channels, harbors, and coastal waterways.

Typical Applications

  • Port and harbor authorities
  • Dredging contractors
  • Army Corps of Engineers projects
  • Coastal infrastructure planning

KB Compliance delivers certified hydrographic survey data that meets NOAA, USACE, and client-specific standards. Our surveys provide accurate bathymetric data essential for navigation safety, dredging operations, infrastructure planning, and regulatory compliance. We utilize multi-beam and single-beam echo sounding systems paired with RTK GPS positioning to produce high-resolution underwater topographic models.

Capabilities

Multi-beam and single-beam bathymetric surveys
NOAA and USACE standards compliance
Channel and harbor depth assessments
Pre- and post-dredge surveys
Shoaling and sediment transport analysis
Certified survey deliverables and reporting

02

High-Accuracy UAV Mapping

Centimeter-level aerial surveys with rapid mobilization and delivery.

Typical Applications

  • Coastal wetland mapping
  • Industrial site surveys
  • Environmental monitoring
  • Construction progress documentation

Our drone-based mapping services leverage RTK and PPK positioning technology to achieve centimeter-level horizontal and vertical accuracy — without the cost and lead time of traditional manned aircraft surveys. KB Compliance operates FAA Part 107 certified pilots and professional-grade mapping UAVs capable of covering large coastal, wetland, and industrial sites efficiently. We deliver georeferenced orthomosaics, digital elevation models, and 3D point clouds.

03

Environmental Compliance

Navigating Gulf Coast regulations so your project stays on schedule.

Typical Applications

  • Pipeline and utility crossings
