Offshore Wind
Power your project with superior data
Marine survey
NV5 specializes in hydrographic survey using multibeam and singlebeam sonar with inertially-aided positioning. Our hydrographic expertise includes the most challenging of aquatic environments from shallowest inland waters to the deep ocean.
NV5 maintains a full suite of calibrated survey instruments and specialized vessels and equipment designed to accommodate both nearshore and offshore environments for conducting siting and feasibility surveys.
Our data acquisition and final products strictly adhere to the highest national and international survey standards. We specialize in the development and execution of scientifically rigorous field programs, advanced geospatial data processing and analyses, and custom GIS database design for a variety of terrestrial, coastal, and offshore objectives.
Engineering & Design
We are a full-service, national engineering firm with in-house expertise in all disciplines applicable to power transmission engineering design.
We evaluate distribution underbuild, OPGW, SCADA, and equipment attachments. Our electrical engineering team will evaluate to make sure proper conductor loading criteria, EMF compliance, and fire-hardening equipment are appropriately utilized when applicable. NV5 also has years of experience planning, permitting, and designing underground transmission projects though 500 kV in a variety of urban, suburban, and mountainous terrain. We work with clients through the entire process to ensure constructability, reduce environmental impacts, complement local aesthetics, and provide peace of mind that the project will meet the needs of the client, local agencies, and the public.
Management & Support
NV5 provides comprehensive quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) services for projects that range from the small to the industry’s most complex.
We inspect, observe, and test the workmanship and materials for compliance with the approved contract documents, including the plans, specifications and applicable building codes. We also provide forensic consulting services and condition assessments upon existing properties. In our certified independent materials testing laboratories we have the resources to sample and test materials in-house for conformance with ASTM or other applicable standards, or we can provide in-situ onsite testing.
