Offshore Survey, Positioning, Remote Operations, & Asset Tracking

C-Survey is a leading provider of offshore survey, positioning, navigation, and asset tracking services supporting the energy industry throughout the Gulf of America and international waters. Headquartered in Mandeville, Louisiana, our company was founded on the belief that offshore survey operations can be performed more efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively through the integration of advanced technology and remote operations.

Today, C-Survey supports a growing fleet of deepwater construction vessels, Diving Support Vessels (DSVs), lift boats, barges, and offshore construction assets. Our experienced survey professionals provide accurate positioning and real-time asset tracking that allow clients to execute complex offshore operations with confidence. Whether working in open water, congested mooring spreads, active construction sites, or decommissioning projects, our teams deliver the precision required to keep operations moving safely and efficiently.

Remote Operations Centers

One of C-Survey’s greatest strengths is our dedicated Remote Operations Centers located in Mandeville and Houma, Louisiana. These facilities provide continuous survey support to offshore projects while reducing the need for additional personnel offshore.

Our remote surveyors monitor positioning systems, manage asset tracking, provide quality control, support vessel operations, and produce project deliverables in real time. This approach allows clients to benefit from experienced survey personnel around the clock while improving operational efficiency and reducing overall project costs.

By combining offshore expertise with modern remote operations, C-Survey delivers a level of flexibility and support that is redefining how offshore survey services are performed.
