The GEL Engineering Difference
- Data you can trust. Accuracy is key and we have built our business on delivering just that: consistently trustworthy data that gives you peace of mind and the confidence to safely move your project forward.
- Proper tools and technology. At GEL Engineering, we use our own equipment to survey, chart and model for our clients, including LIDAR, bathymetric technology and side-scan sonar. Our mapping systems include AutoCAD, Terramodel, TRITON, CARIS and ARC/INFO, and GPS technology. We use our hydrographic surveying vessels, Trimble DGPS and RTK GPS, Odom CVM Echotrac dual-frequency depth sounder, and Hypack MAX Software to perform pre and post dredge hydrographic surveys for industrial facilities and marinas. GEL Engineering can compute both allowable and removed volumes from the data obtained during the survey. We plot the results in drawings using appropriate local datums.
- Professionals that go the extra mile. Our highly skilled hydrographic surveyors include Professional Land Surveyors and Hypack Certified Hydrographers with experience that ranges from inland waters and rivers to ports and near-shore environments. They are used to working safely in difficult conditions and have built a reputation for collecting accurate data under all conditions.
