Frontier Precision Named Master Distributor for SPH Engineering Bathymetry Products
Frontier Precision Named Exclusive U.S. Master Distributor for SPH Engineering’s Bathymetry Product Line
Frontier Precision is pleased to announce that we have been appointed the exclusive Master Distributor for SPH Engineering’s full bathymetry product line in the United States, effective March 21, 2026. This agreement marks a significant expansion of our unmanned and water resources portfolio — and a meaningful step forward for U.S. professionals who rely on fast, accurate, drone-integrated water depth and hydrographic survey data.
What This Partnership Means for U.S. Customers
SPH Engineering’s drone-integrated echo sounder systems have earned a strong global reputation for enabling precise bathymetric surveys in shallow, hazardous, or physically inaccessible waters — environments where traditional vessel-based methods are often impractical or cost-prohibitive. With over 160 deployments worldwide and documented survey time reductions of up to 75%, the technology has proven itself across hydrographic survey, dredging planning, environmental monitoring, stormwater asset management, and water resource mapping applications.
As the exclusive U.S. Master Distributor, Frontier Precision now provides:
- Domestic product inventory for faster order fulfillment
- Factory-certified in-country technical support and first-line troubleshooting
- U.S.-based warranty repair and service — less international shipping required
- A dedicated team with deep UAS and geospatial application expertise
Supporting the U.S. SPH Engineering Channel
Frontier Precision’s role as Master Distributor is to strengthen — not replace — the existing SPH Engineering network across the United States. Authorized sub-dealers will continue to serve their customers and regions as they always have, now backed by a more robust domestic support structure.
With U.S.-based inventory, service, and technical expertise, Frontier Precision is reducing logistical friction and enabling faster deployment, streamlined support, and improved overall customer experience. This approach ensures that sub-dealers can operate more efficiently while expanding their ability to deliver complete, high-impact bathymetric solutions.
If you’re a current SPH Engineering dealer and would like to better understand how this partnership supports your business, we welcome the conversation.
“This partnership is about strengthening the foundation of the U.S. channel. By bringing inventory, service, and technical expertise into the U.S. market, we’re enabling our sub-dealers to move faster, reduce complexity, and deliver more complete solutions to their customers. Our focus is simple — support the channel, accelerate adoption, and elevate what’s possible in drone-based bathymetry.”
— Tony Scott, Executive Vice President, Frontier Precision Inc.
