MosaicHydro 5-Day Multibeam Course
Mosaic Hydrographic Services delivered a 5-day Multibeam Operator Training Course earlier this month in Sidney (BC, Canada). The training included 9 surveyors from industry and government.
According to President Mike Brisett, MosaicHydro's 5-day Multibeam Operator Course meets the needs of organisations requiring new or inexperienced field personnel to be transformed into multibeam operators capable of setting up and operating multibeam sonars, as well as post-processing the data. The March course received excellent support from CRA Canada Surveys Inc, HYPACK, RESON and QPS. CRA Canada provided its 20 foot survey launch complete with a Reson 8124 multibeam system. HYPACK provided demo licenses for each trainee and sent Harold Orlinsky to give HYPACK tutorials. Reson's Mike Mutschler instructed trainees on operating and tuning a Reson sonar and he also lectured on multibeam backscatter. Finally, QPS provided a QINSy demo license for the course.
