TEMPE, Ariz., March 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Benchmark
Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: BHE), a global provider of engineering,
design, and manufacturing services, today announced it has been
selected by Geophysical Technologies Inc. (GTI) to ramp-up
production of the company's next-generation seismic sensors,
NuSeis™ NRU 1C™. The sensors are a key
component of seismic systems used for measuring the earth's
subsurface composition through geophysical technology that
efficiently illuminates and monitors the earth's subsurface for
resource extraction, earthquake monitoring, construction, and
hydrothermal projects.
"Benchmark is a valued partner with the global network, advanced
manufacturing capabilities and responsiveness necessary to meet our
specific goals," said Richard
Degner, president and CEO, GTI. "Their comprehensive
services and commitment to reliability is helping us deliver our
technology to the market at volume while optimizing costs and not
sacrificing quality."
GTI's NuSeis NRU 1C is a self-contained seismic nodal recording
unit with a 58-gram internal electronic cab (eCab). The eCab can be
quickly removed and inserted into a dozen interchangeable NuSeis
form factors, each suited for different environments to provide
peak operating performance and optimal ground coupling. The
company's seismic recording technology enables data acquisition of
the highest quality, with unprecedented operating efficiency, and
optimal health, safety, and environmental (HSE) performance.
Benchmark is providing high-volume manufacturing of the
top-level assembly for NuSeis, which includes the core technology
and multiple variants for a variety of soil types. Benchmark is
also helping GTI relocate its manufacturing operations to
North America, which will enable
improved localization, cost, and procurement of materials and
components.
"As a worldwide manufacturing partner with a strategically
curated network of facilities, Benchmark is able to quickly address
challenges in the global economy and move production to either
nearshore or offshore facilities to optimize our customer's costs,"
said Rob Crawford, SVP and Chief
Revenue Officer, Benchmark. "Working closely with GTI, we're
helping to meet their production goals in a flexible manner while
maintaining the high level of quality and customer service,
consistent with Benchmark's focus on high reliability
products."
