CEE VIEWS – Why we do not make Echo Sounders with Paper Chart Recorders

Despite there occasionally still being a requirement for paper records supporting single beam hydrographic surveys, we choose not to offer any echo sounders that have this feature. Besides focusing more on portable units where paper is of no value, here are our thoughts on why we believe the paper chart to be entirely unnecessary.

CUSTOMER PROJECT – Using a Dual Frequency CEE ECHO and a USV to Evaluate Mine Tailings Deposition

In addition to providing valuable water volume data for site water balance models and tailings storage facility (TSF) operations, using advanced echo sounder techniques may also provide insight into tailings deposition pattern and compaction processes. This paper as presented by Newfields LLC at the Tailings and Mine Waste 2016 conference in Keystone, CO, USA describes an unmanned survey vehicle approach to tailings dam bathymetry.

Using the CEESCOPE™ and CEE ECHO™ in RTK Mode on a Local Grid

For land surveyors, the process used in hydrography to collect the coordinate position and elevation data underwater might be unfamiliar. However, using an RTK-enabled system it is easy to collect data that will fit seamlessly into separately collected land survey datasets using the same RTK GNSS receivers / base station.

Using an External GNSS Receiver with the CEE ECHO™ – Introduction

The CEE ECHO™ is designed to take in NMEA0183 format position from a GNSS / GPS receiver and merge the position data with echo sounder data simultaneously being recorded. The combined data stream is output to an acquisition software package.
