Single Beam Echo Sounders for Marine Surveying

Single Beam Echo Sounders for Marine Surveying & Dredging

Precise and reliable depth measurements are crucial in marine environments. CEE HydroSystems™ echo sounders are the solution, sporting a quality reputation for operational accuracy and durability. Measutronics partners with you to provide full integration and support for these systems.

Our single beam sonar offerings are proven to be field-hardened and robust while offering superior bottom-tracking and shallow-water digitizing capabilities. Utilizing our custom-built 24’ demo vessel “A Nickel More” we are able to provide hands-on demos. Every month, we dedicate a full day to what we call “Field of Dreams” that allows us to showcase our equipment and let the customer get some “seat time” using our technology offerings in a work-related atmosphere.

Our Single Beam Echo Sounder Options

Our single beam echo sounder lineup includes three CEE HydroSystems variants, each engineered for specific survey and dredging applications:

CEE-LINE™

The CEE-LINE™ single beam echo sounder is a rugged "black box" style echo sounder, designed for dedicated survey vessels and demanding conditions. It is ideal for integration into unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) or small, autonomous platforms. Its capabilities include: Excellent performance in noisy environments Easy integration with external GNSS and Trimble data collectors Clean, high-resolution bathymetric data delivery

CEESCOPE™

The CEESCOPE™ hydrographic survey system is offered in a single, portable package. It combines a GNSS receiver and a single beam echo sounder for an all-in-one solution. Key benefits of this model include: Rapid deployment for single-person operation Internal data logging with a user-friendly touch-screen interface High-accuracy RTK positioning and precise depth measurement

CEE ECHO™

The CEE ECHO™ is a small, portable, and waterproof single beam echo sounder. Additional benefits include: Extremely low power consumption for extended missions Simple, streamlined data output for easy system integration “Plug and Play” design for fast setup and reliable operation

Single Beam Echo Sounder Applications in Marine Construction

CEE HydroSystems echo sounders are designed to work with leading hydrographic software packages, such as Trimble Marine Construction and HYPACK®. This provides a versatile solution for various applications:

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Single Beam Echo Sounders

What's the difference between single beam and multibeam echo sounders?

Single beam echo sounders transmit one narrow sonar pulse directly downward, ideal for precise depth measurements along a survey line. Multibeam systems capture wider swaths but require more data processing.

Which single beam echo sounder model is best for dredging operations?

The CEE-LINE™ and CEE ECHO™ are both ideal for dredging. The CEE-LINE™ offers rugged, dedicated survey performance, while the CEE ECHO™ provides portability and dual-frequency capability.

Can single-beam echo sounders be used for hydrographic surveying?

Yes. The CEESCOPE™ is our most popular hydrographic platform, combiningintegrated GNSS and single beam sonar in one portable system.

What depth ranges do your echo sounder variants support?

Our single beam echo sounders support depths from shallow water surveying to deep ocean applications. See our specifications table above for exact depth ranges for each model.

Do you offer training on echo sounder operation?

Yes. Measutronics provides practical instruction to help you master your work environment. Contact us to schedule hands-on training with our team of specialists.
