WELCOME TO COASTAL ENGINEERING
Professional. Innovative. Reliable.
ABOUT COASTAL ENGINEERING
Coastal Engineering’s ADCI-certified commercial underwater inspection and dive teams - led by Engineer Divers and PE Divers - are professional, experienced, and highly familiar with virtually all marine-related structures:
​
bridges & culverts | dams & reservoirs | clearwells & water tanks | tunnels & locks | power plants
bulkheads | seawalls, piers, & wharfs | W/WW facilities | pipelines | submarine cables | shipping industry
​
We perform hands-on diver inspections, penetration dives, and confined space inspections; in areas where diver access is limited, we perform rover, crawler, and sonar/scanning inspections. We perform condition surveys, scour evaluation, detailed measurements, material testing, fathometric/hydrographic surveys, quality testing, and NDT. Our commercial divers are cross-trained to operate, translate, and transcribe data obtained from all in-house inspection and scanning equipment into report formats adhering to applicable agency standards. Additionally, we offer independent above and below-water QA/QC and construction inspection services.
​
Coastal Engineering's commercial dive teams also perform underwater repairs and construction services:
crack injection | spall repairs | scour countermeasures | anodes & cathodic protection | repointing | pile jacketing substructure repairs | bulkhead repairs | dredging services | gate/trash rack/stop log repairs & installation
underwater concrete & welding | underwater cutting & broco | sluice gates & water screens

At Coastal Engineering we specialize in confined space structural inspections and repairs. Our staff is trained in confined space entry and fall arrest equipment, and we possess and maintain all necessary equipment in-house. We also offer penetration dives, pipe crawler, and ROV services. All confined space operations meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146 requirements.
HAZMAT DIVING
Coastal Engineering's commercial diving team is certified for dive operation in adverse underwater conditions, including environments with high-risk capacity for contaminated water and hazardous materials.
SUBMARINE UTILITY LOCATING
Coastal Engineering provides high quality and economical underwater utility locating. Through experience, training, and improved technology, Coastal Engineering has continued to improve efficiency while minimizing the impact to the environment. Power, telecom, gas, sewer, and water lines can all be physically or tone located.
ROV
INSPECTION
Coastal Engineering provides ROV inspection services for areas too small or unsuitable for diver access. These remotely operated vehicles and the imaging data they create help to provide a comprehensive evaluation of substructure units.
SALVAGE
Coastal Engineering's crew is highly experienced and equipped to perform a vast array of marine salvage projects.
BOAT RENTAL
Coastal Engineering has a mobile team of licensed captains and up to 25' work boats for rent.
SCANNING
Coastal Engineering provides scanning services to detect debris, structural defects, and other obstructions that may be hazardous.
PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES
Coastal Engineering's team of Professional Engineers are licensed in 12 states including NJ, NY, PA, CT, DE, VA, MD, ME, NC, SC, OH, GA, and FL. We offer experienced and reliable services in all aspects of civil engineering with a focus on marine and water-related structures.
PIPE CRAWLER INSPECTION
Coastal Engineering provides video pipe crawler inspection services.
