Datem recently concluded a comprehensive three-day training session for six employees of IT International Telecom at their Nova Scotia site. The training focused on the popular subsea CPT system, Neptune 3000, known for its precision and efficiency in subsurface investigations.
The training took place over three days, planned to provide both theoretical knowledge and practical hands-on experience with the Neptune 3000 CPT system. This advanced training session aimed to equip IT International Telecom employees with the necessary skills to operate the system effectively, interpret data accurately, perform necessary routine operations and also focused on fault finding.
Experienced key personnel from Datem, boasting 32 years of CPT experience Aaron Bromley, Operations Manager and Martin Rae, Production Technician ensured that all theoretical concepts were thoroughly explained, fostering a solid understanding that would be crucial for the subsequent practical sessions.
Participants engaged in both classroom and workshop based hands-on exercises designed to familiarise themselves with the Neptune 3000 hardware and software.
This immersive approach allowed the employees to gain confidence in handling the equipment, ensuring they were well-prepared to utilise the Neptune 3000 system independently.
The subject areas covered were:
• System overview
• Cones and maintenance
• Software walkthrough and system operation
• System maintenance and preparation
• Fault finding
The feedback from the customer was overwhelmingly positive. Participants appreciated the comprehensive nature of the training, the expertise of the instructors, and the balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application. One participant remarked, "It was some of the best training we’ve had”.
By empowering the team with advanced CPT capabilities, Datem has reinforced its commitment to delivering fantastic geotechnical solutions and exceptional customer service.
