“Namdeb Diamond Corporation (Pty) Ltd contracted Clayton Summers to integrate and commission the multibeam survey and associated high precision positioning equipment on the marine survey boat launched in 2015. He also assisted the company with equipment commissioning and quality control on a contractor vessel for a geophysical survey and played a significant part in the successful completion of the survey campaign. This job was done under challenging circumstances, but Clayton’s ability to calmly deal with third party challenges made our job so much easier. He also provided offline MBES data processing services at short turnaround times. He is always willing and able to provide guidance on various software and hardware technical challenges and his experience in the industry ensures massive value add to our company. The customer service that Clayton provides is appreciated and we highly recommended his services for the client with interesting challenges. ”

“Clayton Summers has been contracted by MMT on numerous occasions during the past years. The profound knowledge and understanding that he beholds covers every aspect of a marine survey project that we encounter, from project planning to vessel setup, from acquisition to data processing and reporting. Over the years Clayton has been challenged on a variety of projects, from complex situations in remote locations with little help from outside, to playing part in large projects as part of a processing team, always showing proof of professional attitude, skills and manners.”

“Clayton Summers has performed work for Nautilus Minerals on several occasions, including hydrographic surveying and multibeam data processing (both offshore and remotely) and as client rep. Our areas of interest have complex seafloor terrain, and some of our high resolution data has suffered from severe navigation issues, which Clayton has proven proficient at remedying. Clayton remains our preferred supplier of multibeam data processing, due to his diligence, efficiency, and skill in creating the highest quality data products”

““We have worked with Clayton for a number of years and have always found him to be extremely approachable and professional. His understanding of our specific requirements, system configurations, and his practical approach in training and customer support has added value to our Division. His knowledge of Fledermaus is excellent and he has helped us develop a deliverable which visually enables our Clients to ‘see’ 3D renditions and fly-through of their construction, dredging and salvage projects.” ”
