Tritech International

Tritech International Limited designs and manufactures subsea sonar imaging equipment and related sensors for underwater vehicles, building robust subsea sonar equipment for imaging and navigation below the surface. Its catalogue is organised by product type into multibeam sonars, mechanical sonars, profiling sonars, altimeters, survey sensors, control units, and mechanical and hydraulic pumps. The Gemini Range sits at the centre of the offering: forward-looking imaging and navigation sonars built for both shallow and deep-water operations, versatile and robust, and intended for integration with ROVs, AUVs and drones. Within that range the Gemini 1200id is depth rated to 4000m and sets a benchmark for mission-critical sonar operations. The Gemini 1200ikd is depth rated to 500M or 1000M, the Gemini 720is to 1000M or 4000M, and the Gemini 720iks to 350M. The MicronGemini 720s is the small-format option, depth rated to 300M or 750M, compact and powerful for users who need a physically small sonar. The Gemini NBI is depth rated to 4000m. Outside the Gemini family, the mechanical sonar line consists of the Super SeaPrince and the Super SeaKing DST, profiling is covered by the Gemini 620pd, altimetry by the PA200 / PA500 Precision Altimeter MKII, survey sensing by the Super Seaking Bathy, and control electronics by the SeaHub. Products can be filtered by the class of vehicle they suit, spanning work class ROVs, intervention ROVs, observation and inspection ROVs, micro and mini ROVs, AUVs, USVs and drones, which makes for a business built around integration into other operators' platforms rather than around complete vehicles. The company supports customers through every step of integrating a sonar. Beyond hardware, Tritech provides software downloads, a service and repair function, a resources and archive section and a frequently asked questions library, and it sells through a distributor network that includes resellers appointed for particular territories. Customer statements come from an equipment rental and robotics business that treats the company as a benchmark for sensor procurement and praises its service and repair lead times, from an underwater acoustics operator that has used the Gemini 1200ikd integrated with its remotely operated vehicle to navigate and map complex underwater environments, and from a vehicle manufacturer that has become a reseller on the west coast of Canada. Company activity beyond product sales includes published positions on sustainability and quality, careers and company information, attendance at industry events such as Oceanology International, applied research writing on subjects including acoustic deterrents activated only when a seal is actually there, and community activity such as a World Ocean Day beach clean up.
