Waddington to Lead Substructure's Hydrographic Survey Operations

PORTSMOUTH, N.H., April 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Substructure, Inc., a global marine
services company providing high-resolution marine assessment, marine pile
encapsulation, and other underwater capabilities, today announced that
geophysical survey expert Tom Waddington has joined the Company as senior
marine scientist and chief hydrographer. Waddington - who brings nearly 25
years of experience in the marine survey field to Substructure's global marine
services - will oversee Substructure's hydrographic operations, including use
of their state-of-the art hydrographic survey vessel, Orion.

Formerly a senior marine scientist with Science Applications International
Corporation (SAIC), Waddington also has served as chief of the Survey Section
for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Baltimore District and as a
commissioned officer in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) Corps. A graduate of Virginia Tech with a bachelor's degree in
industrial engineering and operations research and a master's degree in
engineering administration, Waddington also has authored numerous technical
and scientific reports.

"Tom Waddington brings high-level technical skills in multi-disciplinary
marine monitoring and hydrographic surveying, and he has broad experience
across a wide spectrum of applications," noted Tom Reis, Substructure
president. "Tom strengthens our team considerably and will be an invaluable
asset as Substructure brings our new survey vessel into service."

Waddington's professional activities have included serving as a lead
hydrographer on large nautical charting survey projects for NOAA, as well as
acquiring, analyzing, and reporting on geophysical and oceanographic datasets
from a wide variety of measurement programs. In addition, he has worked
extensively in the development of GIS, CADD, and other mapping products that
allow effective analysis and management of a multi-disciplinary marine and
environmental data.

"I have closely followed Substructure's development of Orion, and the thought
and attention to detail that went into its design and execution were
extraordinary," Waddington commented. "It is a unique platform ideally suited
to a variety of nearshore survey applications, from focused, high-resolution
surveys for structural assessment, to broader-scale site characterization and
marine habitat mapping applications."

An American Congress of Surveying and Mapping (ACSM) Certified Inshore
Hydrographer since 1994, Waddington also holds a U.S. Coast Guard 200-ton Near
Coastal Master's License.
