We've had a very busy winter, developing a variety of assembly kits for customers as diverse as the new concourse at Kings Cross station, the Doha residence in Quatar and a number of boats. Working in steel, aluminium and increasingly plywood and MDF, we can generate easy to build modular units for the latest curved architecture, working with Architects to achieve the exact complex curved surfaces that they require.

We've also been working with the team at Parkol Engineering in Whitby to provide a lengthening and hull refinement service, creating assembly systems for pre built bulb bows, centre sections and nozzles that allow fast fitting and finishing in their floating drydock.

We'll be at Digital Past 2012, the RCAHMW's excellent 2 day conference next week, then we're preparing for an interesting project, working with our Spanish partners at DOCTUM to record cave houses in the countryside around Granada.

I will be presenting at the RIVIC Symposium on the 28th November in Bangor, North Wales on our houses project - we've been busy processing the data from the house we scanned in Ovasta, Italy and hope to present some of the data from that work.

Please download the event guide from here 

Hope to see you at the day.

Here's a short video on some survey work we did for the Royal Commission, recording and underground waterwheel in a lead mine in Mid Wales. Laser scanning is the idea way to record heritage areas like this as it is portable, doesn't require too much light and can provide both academic and general public visualisation of important items. 

Big thanks to Rhydian at ICY Ltd for help with setting up underground and carrying survey kit up the hillside, it may look quite clean and dry in the animation, but I'm still cleaning mud out of all the survey kit!

We've also been busy with engineering projects, from surveying curved roof structures for the new development at Kings Cross station, London, to working with long time partners Parkol Marine in Whitby on modifying fishing vessels for greater efficiency. We've got some interesting projects lined up for the Autumn and we're looking forward to the next meeting of the houses project and finding out what our Italian partners have been up to.

Big thanks to the team at the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales for a great 2 day Digital Past conference in Bodelwyddan, north Wales. Good to meet lots of people with a passion for Heritage and digital documentation.

Off to the Copper day in Swansea next month - sounds interesting for anyone in to industrial archaeology and social history. Makes a change from modelling dive support vessels, trawlers and Dutch barges for 7 days a week straight!

We've a 1 day mini conference on the Houses Project on April 5th, 2011 in Machynlleth for all interested parties. Final running list is still to be confirmed, but we definitely have a talk on the re construction of the Alhambra, Slate Miners housing in North Wales, Digital heritage and the People's collection, so there will be an interesting variety of professional development and local history interest.

If you're interested, please email, more details to follow on the programme.

Thank

Deri
