Thomas and Jim Chance were raised in the survey business helping their father build the largest privately-owned and most technically advanced survey company in the world. That company, John E. Chance and Associates, developed a variety of the offshore survey applications still in use today including, satellite positioning, pipeline tracking, shallow-water multibeam bathymetry, and database management.
C & C's corporate vision was derived internally with the counsel and consensus of its employees. It is comprised of five simple principles, which guide personal interactions with clients and one another:
To be a growing company
Earning clients for life
Utilizing technology to our clients benefit
Doing it right
Being a great place to work!
