TDI-Brooks was formed in May 1996 when our senior staff at a Texas A&M University research center (GERG) recognized a market need for a survey contractor that could generate credible, difficult-to-obtain marine data for industry and government. We left the university and formed TDI-Brooks International, Inc. (TDI-Brooks) as a closely-held, privately owned Texas C Corporation headquartered in College Station. We now provide world-class scientific and engineering services, including seabed surveys and laboratory analysis, by deploying trained and motivated employees, proprietary technology, purchased and invented assets, robust, quality-assured deliverables, sustainable processes, and safe practices.

We currently have a working staff of over a hundred people, including more than a dozen specialized, advanced-degreed scientists and engineers. We also maintain a multitude of partnerships with scientists and engineers in academia and industry around the globe to provide comprehensive, expert, turnkey solutions. TDI-Brooks owns and operates three multi-use survey vessels­ Nautilus, Proteus, and Gyre, along with two more survey vessels­ Brooks McCall and Miss Emma McCall, that are on permanent bareboat charter to us. We also engage spot-chartered vessels of opportunity from time to time for small projects.

TDI-Brooks provides laboratory analysis of sediment and water samples collected via our state-of-the-art laboratory facility B&B Labs, located at our headquarters in College Station, Texas. The chemistry and geotechnical laboratories provide high-quality analytical services and scientific interpretation. Both laboratories are staffed with highly skilled scientists and chemists who have worked in partnership with federal and state agencies as well as the private energy and environmental industry for over 40 years.
