Underwater Digital Modelling & Mapping
In 2024, 3dMB Ltd moved from diver based data capture to Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) based data capture. This has meant that we can mount a large array of sensing technology, in addition to just cameras, to capture data more efficiently without the dive team requirements as specified within the Diving at Work Regulations 1997.
Removing the diver and replacing with a ROV removes the associated risk to the data capture operators, we can work more efficiently with a small team and are not limited by decompression obligation or breathing gas supply.
Rigging
Starting out as local site crew at Glastonbury Festival, Marcus moved onto building stages for temporary events progressing forward designing rigging and running crews for high budget feature films. Competent with 3d AutoCAD, Marcus has played a key role in:
Designing and installing the lighting grids at BT Sports Studios, Stratford
Designing and installing a semi-permanent 1000m suspended catwalk and rigging system in Cardington Studios, Bedfordshire
Leading a crew erecting a bespoke semi-permanent structure to support the GoodYear blimps at the GoodYear Blimp base in Carson, California
