January has been a very mild month in comparison to previous years – there has been no ice to break this year! Our surveyors were able to do “business as usual”. Early in January our Storm Geoswath I boat went out and surveyed 63km of the River Ouse and 100ft drain in East Anglia
A six course tasting menu and copious amounts of port and cheese were enjoyed by all staff and partners at Talton House in December for our Christmas celebrations. A wonderful evening was had by all and Mike didn’t fail to entertain as a Storm Geomatics version of the twelve days of Christmas was sung by all. “On the first day of Christmas my Company gave to me an office with a new key.”
In preparation for the Hydraulic modelling for Highways England’s £4.4 billion Lower Thames Crossing project (the proposed new 3-lane motorway crossing of the Thames Estuary between Essex and Kent), Storm Geomatics were commissioned to carry out a topographical survey of nearly 25km of waterways around Tilbury and the Mardyke River that falls within the proposed construction area.
After months and months of careful planning by Mike and the team, Storm Geomatics relocated to its new headquarters in Shipston Business Village, 400m2 of surveying excellence!
Mike Hopkins managing director of Storm Geomatics also plays an important role within the survey profession as Chairman of The Survey Association (TSA) technical committee.
