The CEE HydroSystems story
Bruttour International founded.
Bruttour International launches CEE HydroSystems to develop and manufacture its field proven shallow water survey products.
Single beam echo sounders, the CEE-USV™ M190 uncrewed survey vessel, CEETIDE™ radar tide gauges and survey software.
In early 2011 Bruttour International launched CEE HydroSystems. This new division was established to focus on the development and manufacture of the field proven shallow water CEE hydrographic survey products first designed by Bruttour. Since the company’s inception, CEE HydroSystems have increased their design and engineering capabilities to enhance their product range and now offer a suite of highly specified single beam echo sounders, and the CEETIDE™ tide gauge.
CEE HydroSystems continue to innovate and are bringing modern processing power to single beam echo sounder equipment. This approach results in equipment substantially smaller, lighter, and more robust than alternative products that may be based on technology that has changed little over several years.
As a result of electronic component development, smaller modern echo sounder processors are significantly more powerful than larger older versions. So there no longer has to be a compromise between size, convenience and performance of shallow water hydrographic echo sounders.
With CEE HydroSystems equipment, it is possible to have capability and convenience at the same time. All CEE products are manufactured in Australia to the highest standard of quality and are rigorously field tested.
