Power Generation and Distribution: Puerto Cortes, Honduras
AES Honduras
Ocean Surveys performed a multi-disciplined marine investigation including hydrographic, geophysical, oceanographic, meteorological and biological studies in the waters off Puerto Cortes in the Gulf of Honduras.
This investigation was conducted to collect scientific data in support of the design of a proposed power plant and marine terminal expansion on the west shore of the Cortes peninsula.

Using marine geophysical techniques, Ocean Surveys conducted an archaeological investigation in Searsport Harbor, Maine. It was completed in support of a channel deepening project performed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (New England District). The investigation was designed to ...
OSI has supported various U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Districts' coastal engineering missions since 1994 with beach profiling surveys. In the vicinity of Ocean City, New Jersey, three-dimensional data were acquired using a combination of topographic, mini sea-sled, and automated ...
Ocean Surveys performed a breakwater inspection through multibeam hydrographic and vessel-mounted laser scanning surveys of the Burns Harbor Breakwater in Portage, Indiana. The survey data enhanced the District's ability to assess existing breakwater conditions both above and below the water ...
The Mackinac Bridge is among the 20 largest suspension bridges in the world. It has a total length of approximately five miles and a main span of 3,800 feet. As part of a scour investigation, Ocean Surveys performed a multibeam hydrographic survey ...
Ocean Surveys was a subcontractor to the prime on NOAA’s very first contracted hydrographic survey. Since 1999, OSI has acted as a prime contractor and surveyed thousands of square nautical miles of navigable waters on behalf of NOAA (see table ...
In 1988 several pieces of artillery shells were discovered on Bethany Beach and Sea Colony Beach in Delaware. A recent beach replenishment project used sand recovered from a borrow area within the bounds of a historic anti-aircraft target range operated ...
A geophysical survey investigation in the Savannah River Entrance Channel was conducted by Ocean Surveys for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The investigation was specifically designed to complement and expand upon subbottom data that was previously acquired by OSI ...
Integrated hydrographic/geophysical surveys and a vibratory coring program were completed in the Gulf of Mexico in the waters offshore of Whiskey Island, Louisiana for the LDNR and The United States Environmental Protection Agency. OSI completed these investigations under subcontract to ...
The U.S. Air Base in Thule, Greenland is the US Military’s northernmost installation with the world's northernmost deep-water port. The port is open for only a few months each year during which time all bulk cargo and fuel bound for ...
To support a reservoir siltation analysis of the Pedlar Reservoir, Ocean Surveys performed a detailed hydrographic survey and calculated the existing capacity. Following completion of the survey, a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of the reservoir bottom surface was created and ...
Ocean Surveys, Inc. initially performed a desktop study to compile geologic, oceanographic, sediment chemistry, and marine activity background information supporting the feasibility assessment of the project. This research was followed by a reconnaissance level marine geophysical survey along an alignment ...
Ocean Surveys conducted an oceanographic and geophysical data collection program in near shore waters off of Sosua, Dominican Republic, to support a joint project between the Dominican government and the World Bank. The project required a detailed investigation of the ...
From 2009 to 2017, OSI provided extensive survey and data analysis for the wind farm development offshore Rhode Island. These services were performed in support of all phases of the design, permitting, and construction of five wind turbines, inter-array, and ...
