Storm Geomatics returned to GeoBusiness, a big show and conference for the Geomatics Industry, on 27th and 28th of May. Our Company exhibited at the venue and over the two days all of our river surveyors visited the show. GeoBusiness is a great opportunity to meet new people within the Geomatics Industry and see the latest innovative technology. We held workshops for our iPhone app, PhotoMAPP, which attracted an above average sized audience with a strong presence from the Ordnance Survey.

Catherine and Lauren, both recent graduates from Aberystwyth University, went back to Aberystwyth University's Department of Geography and Earth Sciences to deliver two presentations to current geography students about land surveying. Catherine and Lauren were able to advise the students on how to become a land surveyor after graduating and answered questions from the students on a career in land surveying from the perspective of a Trainee and a Surveyor.

Storm Geomatics Surveyors started the New Year with the completion of a Water Awareness and First Responders course provided by Blueprint Water Safety. The day long course covered the theory and practical sides of water safety. The team were able to test out new techniques for movement in shallow water and fast flowing water. The training emphasised the importance of wearing the correct P.P.E and the surveyors were able to test out Storm Geomatics' new inflatable raft! Watch our video to see how the surveyors got on in the river.

A team of surveyors spent two days in November at a RYA Powerboat Level II Training course. The course gave the surveyors knowledge and practice on launching and recovery, boat handling, securing to a buoy, anchoring and man overboard. RYA qualifications are known internationally and the courses are designed for the level of skill you want to achieve. Gaining a RYA qualification allows our surveyors to use powerboats competently and safely on site.
