Hibbard Inshore has been an industry leader in unmanned vehicle inspections since the company was founded more than 25 years ago. We specialize in the inspection and survey of underwater and amphibious structures as well as in bathymetric and sub-bottom survey work for municipalities, engineering firms, industrial companies, and research institutions. Hibbard Inshore has an extensive fleet of vehicles that have the ability to carry sensing packages and tooling to fit project needs. These vehicles and sensors are further profiled in the Technology section of this website. Our experienced pilots and technicians focus on choosing the proper equipment and inspection methods on a per project basis to get our customers the accurate data and video they need to make important decisions and achieve certifications.
