Mounting Hardware

Engineering firm Midwest surveyed the remote, braided Red Deer River in Alberta and Saskatchewan by adding a CEE-LINE™ echo sounder to its Trimble R12i and TSC7 setup and paddling it on an inflatable raft. The survey, with depths often just inches below the transducer, produced a 3D elevation model for the client’s erosion and asset protection work.

Blue Arc Engineering in Fort Myers, Florida swapped manual range pole and GNSS depth surveys for a CEE ECHO™ with Hydromagic and its existing Trimble R780. Fieldwork that would have taken a full day was cut in half, and the bathymetric product followed within days.

After several basic pole mounted echo sounders fell short, Ingenieurbüro Saam GmbH in Upper Bavaria adopted the CEE-LINE™ for bridge scour and river surveys in the Trimble Access environment. Datasets were consistent, repeatable and trustworthy, with consistent depths in very shallow water even near bridge structures.

After two days of training, a transport engineer ran his first survey in South America two weeks after receiving the CEESCOPE™. The all-in-one echo sounder and Hydromagic made a successful reconnaissance dam survey simple, with the kit hand carried on the airline.

The RAN now has a ruggedized, airline-portable Rapid Mobilization Survey System (RMSS), a CEESCOPE™ with Tactical StarFish side scan, for rapid environmental assessment, vessel of opportunity and conventional survey ship work, all acquired in HYPACK®.

With no echo sounding experience and a tight deadline, Canada Pump and Power used a 33/200 kHz all-in-one CEESCOPE™ to complete urgent pre-dredge surveys of several Alberta tar sands effluent ponds. Pond sludge and water volumes were delivered on time, and CPP now runs Hydromagic in real time on later projects.
