PicoPOD Survey Data- the latest images

Our PicoPOD systems, featuring the PicoMB120, have been back out on the water, producing excellent images and data for users. The image on the right shows a flooded quarry in Somerset using PicoPOD mounted on a Hydrone, and below you can see results from a post-dredge survey of an aggregates quarry in the South of England.

We’re looking forward to showcasing more great survey results in 2020 as we roll out the PicoMB130 and the PicoCAT. Watch this space!

Our partners at Geodesea last week completed a multibeam sonar survey of an 0.48 square km reservoir using PicoPOD and the PicoPilot feature. Data clearly showed original water courses, areas of clay mined for the creation of the dams, and even ridge and furrow fields, none of which have been seen since the mid-1800’s. Watch below to see PicoPOD at work.
