Case histories

ACT Marine, a New England dredging contractor, uses a CEE ECHO™ with Hydromagic for its own QC and pre-final clearance surveys. The system sets up in 20 minutes, its results match the third-party survey, and projects are accepted on the final survey without costly post cleanup.

Team Lab monitors sludge in hundreds of wastewater lagoons with the CEE-USV™. Adding a CEESCOPE™ with Trimble CenterPoint® RTX in 2025 gave about 1 in (2.5 cm) vertical accuracy for the lagoon water level on every survey, so repeat surveys compare sludge volumes accurately without anyone going out on the water.

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.

Gippsland Ports four CEETIDE MAX™ tide gauges have given two years of steady, reliable monitoring in Victoria, Australia. A built-in Trimble GNSS tracks sensor position and subsidence, and live 6-minute data streams to a public website.

AOI Solutions surveyed a Daytona Beach retention pond, hit by hurricane Helene inflow and active backfilling, in 3 hours with a CEE ECHO™ and Hydromagic. An edited RTK-grade bottom surface reached the client three hours later, and the echograms showed both the sediment level and the original pond bottom.

How single beam echo sounders and unmanned survey boats are used for industrial water management: reservoir volume, sludge and sediment, and regulatory reporting. Worked examples cover mine tailings storage facilities, frac pits and effluent lagoon dredging.

Coastal Frontiers swapped its old echo sounder for a CEE ECHO™ on the San Elijo Lagoon Restoration Project, surveying lagoon depths typically under 4 ft (1.2 m) from a small boat or the CEE-USV™. Auto-gain and sensitivity cut collection and processing time, about 20 lbs of batteries were eliminated, and digital echograms in HYPACK replaced paper charts.

Midwest Planning LLC ran a CEE-USV™ survey of a Minnesota wastewater lagoon in late April, in 45 mph gusts and sub-zero temperatures, with the surveyor operating from a warm truck. Ice on the antennas caused some data drop-outs, but the on-board CEESCOPE LITE™ logged everything, so any gaps could be filled in Hydromagic.
