The Institute of Art, Design + Photography (IADT) in Dun Laoghaire, known for its progressive approach to education since the 1960s, continues to innovate. Now boasting state-of-the-art facilities and a diverse faculty, IADT equips its 2,500+ students for success in today's creative marketplace.

Matterport Makes its Mark at IADT

Building on its commitment to cutting-edge resources, IADT has recently incorporated Matterport technology. Oliver Murray, a Matterport specialist from Hitechniques, trained staff on using the Pro 3 LiDAR camera to create digital twins of various spaces.

3D Virtual Tours Enhance Student Orientation

The first project using this 3D virtual tour technology is a digital model of the library. This model serves as a valuable tool for new students navigating the college. Students can virtually explore the two-story library, locate specific sections, and familiarise themselves with the layout to easily find areas where the technology such as the automated check out and check in machines are located.

A Welcoming Resource, Especially for Newcomers

This virtual tour offers a significant benefit for all students, but particularly for those who might find the initial in-person experience overwhelming. By providing a chance to explore the library beforehand, students can feel more confident and prepared during their first visit.

Looking Forward to Continued Innovation

IADT is excited to explore new and innovative ways to utilise Matterport technology, further enhancing the learning experience for its students. We look forward to continuing to support the college in this exciting journey.

Rotanev Ltd. are a civil engineering and ground contactors run by brothers Tom and Padraig Conway. Based in Co. Clare, they carry out bulk earthworks, pipework and concrete works for their clients around Ireland.

Rotanev has an extensive fleet of machinery, including articulated dump trucks of up to 30 tons and excavators ranging from 3 to 30 tons. They were one of the first companies to try out the Unicontrol3D machine control system we introduced in Ireland last year on a housing development they were working on in Limerick.

"We availed of the free trial the rest is history.", said Padraig Conway, Managing Director at Rotanev.

When asked why he decided to go ahead and buy the system after the trial, Padraig named the ease of use as one of the main factors. Machine operators only need minimal training to be able to use the system and if they have any problems, the Hitechniques team is there to help.

"We’re very happy with the customer support. Any issues that have arisen have been dealt with quickly through remote support option or if Brian is in the area he will call into site."

The other thing that convinced Padraig to use Unicontrol was the UnicontrolCloud which allows remote uploading of drawing files to the machine as well as downloading as-builts from points surveyed by the machine.

"The Cloud is great. To be able to remotely upload drawings means I don’t have to be on site to get the guys up and running. The fact that you can create your own surfaces and simple drawings through the software is great. It means that we didn't need AutoCAD 3D software for the drawings."

After talking to Padraig we also asked his machine operators Kieran and Fergal for some feedback on using Unicotrol3D. Both men have extensive experience working with heavy machinery and worked with other machine control systems in the past.

"Great system easy to use. I've used it to survey kerb lines for guys who were waiting on an engineer! I never have to wait for anything as I can set levels and see the linework that I need on screen. I couldn't do without it! Great support from Brian, too. He knows the system inside out and can talk me through most of the issues I've had. Also he can take control of the tablet through the quick support app so that he can see what I am trying to do.", said Kieran.

Fergal agreed with his colleague and added that he really appreciates the independence the system gives him.

"The Unicontrol system is a lot smarter than what I've seen and used. You can change drawings and create surfaces as you go, no need to wait for engineers to modify a drawing for you. Very user friendly. Very tidy setup as in the box that comes with the system will fit behind the seat of the machine. The other systems you would have to bring in your van on site to set up your machine and it just creates extra work you don't need.", he said.

Unicontrol is a straightforward system that offers all the functionalities you need. It speeds up work and improves communication between machine operators and the office. If you’re interested in trying it out for yourself, get in touch with us today.

Metroscan Utility Location Ltd. is one of Ireland’s top utility surveyors with a team of professionals dedicated to providing the highest quality utility surveys and deliverables. Their customers range from small independent contractors to large multinational companies, government-run utility companies, and local and city councils.

Metroscan work all over Ireland and in all types of environments, so having reliable equipment and software plus good technical backup makes the daily challenges more manageable. It’s one of the reasons why they chose Hitechniques as their surveying equipment supplier.

We talked to John Stafford, Director at Metroscan about some of their recent projects and working with GeoMax equipment.

How long have you been using GeoMax equipment?

Metroscan have been using GeoMax instruments for seven years. I got in contact with Philip and company through their training courses and have built up a relationship from there. The team at Hitechniques are quick, efficient and love solving problems.

What made you decide to choose GeoMax equipment?

In our business, reliability and accuracy are a must, and it was proven that GeoMax equipment and X-PAD software could deliver all of this. Metroscan only uses GeoMax in our surveying fleet. GeoMax and Hitechniques helped with the integration of GNSS rovers / robotic total stations with our ground penetrating radars to provide constant GNSS data stream to radar data, which allows us to reference surveys to ITM coordinates.

Can you tell us a bit about some of the projects you’re working on?

We were contracted to work on pedestrian and cycle routes in Arklow and map the underground utilities for a redesign of the town's layout. The survey was necessary to enable the town’s planner to identify services within the road corridor that may need to be relocated for the purposes of their design project.

Which of the GeoMax solutions did you use during the project?

Along with using GeoMax GNSS solutions and total stations we use their X-PAD Ultimate surveying software. The newest GeoMax Zenith60 with X-PAD 365 cloud were used to provide the best accuracy in conjunction with ground penetrating radar.

You mentioned using the X-PAD surveying software. What in your opinion makes it different from others on the market?

X-PAD is great, allowing immediate upload of survey data from the field to the cloud. It is an easy to use, stable platform to deliver surveys on time and of high quality. Our operatives find the software easy to learn and intuitive to use. Along the way X-PAD developers have come up with software patches to help our ease of use. You also feel that any issues are taken seriously and get good feedback.

How likely are you to recommend GeoMax to others?

No brainer, they offer good hardware and software plus you get great value for your money.

Thanks to John for sharing his and his team's experience working with Hitechniques and using GeoMax equipment. We appreciate your business and look forward to many more years of working together.

Hitechniques Team

Hitechniques serving tarmac companies in Ireland

Surveying and staking out points are important parts of the process of completing a project for many businesses in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) industry. For tarmac contractor having surveying equipment on hand means they can plan the work and quote the customer accordingly, ensure precision during the execution of the design and collect accurate data after completion of the project.

Hitechniques is currently supplying GNSS Rovers to four leading tarmac companies in Ireland. These companies wanted to upgrade to the next level in measurement and the GeoMax Zenith range with the X-PAD Ultimate Survey software was the direction we wanted to bring them. Speed is nothing without direction.

Main reasons for upgrading to GNSS Rovers for site works

When we look to improve a company’s workflow in measurement, we look at what’s drawing them back and what’s not working. Sometimes, it’s a flaw in the setting out when using tapes and lines, but on the other end, it’s the measurement and recording of As-Built drawings.

When you have a GNSS Rover there is no ambiguity in these two scenarios.

When the designer has drawn the site layout, it’s designed using software such as AutoCAD, and this is easily imported into X-PAD via email, cloud, or USB. Once the drawing is georeferenced (drawn in the correct coordinate system), it can be used directly for setting out in the field or road.

Once the works are completed, As-built drawings will be required, which is also easily achieved with the GNSS Rover from the Survey and exported into your PC software in several options, i.e. AutoCAD, X-PAD Fusion, SSC, LandXML.

With the measurement of surface areas (m2) recorded, it’s a straightforward calculation with tendered rates from the BOQ on what the costs are. These files can be overlaid on the original design drawing, and differences are easily seen from the proposed to what was constructed.

Volume Calculations

With the outline of the surface dressing, you can input a depth and show a volume of material to cross reference the calculations, and this is also useful to know what volume was used.

Asking our customers who have tried and tested the system, here’s what they all had to say:

Laura Whelan, Civil Engineer from Brandrake who recently purchased the Zenith60 GNSS Rover, when asked, how has the GNSS Rover made life easier for her:

“We found recording and measuring works completed for invoices is now far more straightforward and eliminates disputes over measures. It leaves the process a lot clearer for clients''.

James Lynn from O’Malley’s Tarmac, Castlebar:

“We have built jobs around the surveys we do for our clients with the Zenith35 and X-PAD. The huge thing for us is that we can bring the survey straight into AutoCAD and design our car parks, parking bays, kerb lines or drop kerbs knowing that when we go out, we can plot all the points on the ground and be confident everything works. The other thing that is key for me is the CAD features on X-PAD, the way we can draw points, lines, or offsets on the side of the road without having to go back to the laptop to do the same thing – huge time saver here when you have a crew waiting for you.

As well as all those key features, we have local authority drawings with all the road markings and signage that we can stake out directly from their drawings, such as pedestrian crossings, double white lines, dashed lines, or islands, taking out the tape measurement and pulling lines. With Hitechniques and GeoMax equipment we can be confident that the job is done right first time.”

Neil Stanley from Stanley Asphalt giving his thoughts:

“Having bought the Zenith35 four years ago after one too many measurement disputes, we haven’t looked back.

The advantage to having done a site survey prior to the job starting and giving the site foreman the area, he needs to cover to the nearest square meter has been a huge advantage. With any large-scale job since we bought the Zenith35, we haven’t needed to have a joint measure with the client because the figures are independent of what both parties think, and a clear number can be factored to our Square Meter rate.

Lastly, it makes it easier to price jobs when you know the area. We can give an accurate estimate of what a job will cost from a site survey. We can do this as quickly as you would walk around the area.”

Noel Kinsella from Mitchell Macadam:

“The biggest challenge we encountered was getting this information back to the office to assess, measure and price jobs in a timely manner for the customer. After we became familiar with the product’s capabilities, this eliminated all the challenges we encountered previously.

We found Hitechniques understood our business needs exactly and were able to put a solution in place in a most timely and efficient manner. This has resulted in efficiencies for job measurement with the clients.

The GeoMax Zenith35 Pro GNSS receiver was demonstrated to us and straight away we could see the benefits this could bring to our business. This resulted in a clarity of job measures whereas previously there were disputes with the clients over measures. The primary benefit of this was getting information from the job site back to the office instantaneously so jobs could be invoiced in a more efficient manner.”

Drainage

Surface treatment and road design are what we see, but in some cases, the Tarmac contractor may have won the job based on their drainage package as well. Using a GNSS rover enables the contractor to bring in drainage drawings of storm gullies, road gullies, gully pots, linear drainage, kerb lines and flow direction. It's very simple to set out a job when you know when the location of the kerb lines are for footpath and road layouts. Proper setout determines the position of the gully pots, which can be positioned in the correct location. How often do we see a gully pot too far out or too far in under a kerb when we didn’t have a position after the marked line had been dug away?

Tarmac companies using GeoMax GNSS Rovers

• Stanley Asphalt Ltd.
• Mitchell McAdam
• Michael O’Malley Tarmacadam Contractors Ltd.
• Brandrake Plant Hire Ltd.

Based in Coe's Road Industrial Estate, Dundalk Fabrication & Coatings Ltd. is a specialist engineering company specialising in mild steel and stainless steel fabrication. Their expert team of Design Engineers, Project Managers and Fabricators provides turn key solutions from design concepts for commercial construction projects.

We asked their Site Manager - Eddie McArdle - about their work and why they decided to go with GeoMax surveying equipment and X-PAD field software.

What were the biggest challenges that your design and site teams faced?

When we first contacted Hitechniques in September 2022 our plan was to take on the site surveying and set out ourselves at a higher level. Our biggest challenge was getting information to the design team from the site and back again. We needed a more efficient way to share information about existing structures to be tied into new build, dimensions, heights of existing building elements.

Why choose Hitechniques ?

We wanted a system that would cover everything from surveying the site and getting the design drawn on the area available, to overlaying back on the ground. It had to be reliable and tailored to our specific needs. Hitechniques was able to cater for this.

We booked into training with Philip after a consultation with Roch on what we needed to achieve. They asked us questions on our upcoming projects and they came up with a tailor made plan to match our needs. The course was a very good introduction with theory and practical knowledge of the robotic total station and surveying.

From there, we hired the unit to trial. Once we knew it was the right unit for us, we purchased the full kit. We knew we'll be using it in a majority of our work and Roch went through the different options and provided case studies on long term and short term use. Buying outright made sense both logistically and financially.

What instrument did you end up purchasing?

The Zoom 90 Robotic total station pack with X-PAD software was the setup recommended to us. It brought all we wanted into one programme and enabled us to use it on site and set out all our points from the designers AutoCAD file, which was crucial for us.

We were able to survey the site, record finish floor levels, survey existing structural steel members and their connections. We could relay all of this information back with speed and accuracy and trust our own drawings to set out the new elements.

The main benefit of having the Zoom 90 is that we can create our own workflow on site. Once we have the site control and our bearings set up we can revisit the site, set up using the control stations and pick up where we left off. The day of string lines and using tapes to set out our holding down bolts and building lines is now all wrapped up digitally in the Zoom 90 Robotic total station.

What would you tell people thinking of buying new surveying equipment?

We would highly recommend Hitechniques as a company where you can not only purchase state of the art equipment but to get back up and technical support from their experienced staff. Having that safety net makes a huge difference, especially at the beginning when you’re still getting used to the new equipment and software.

Beausang Plant Hire & Civil Engineering are a company based in Shanagarry North, County Cork. They specialise in residential projects using the insulated concrete framework.

Having previously hired units when needed in the past, Aaron and Thomas decided that it was time for a solution better suited for their workflow. Working on a new residential housing development, they were considering purchasing their own GPS rover unit.

After trialling three different brands to see which instrument would best fit their needs, they decided to go with the GeoMax Zenith60 IMU GNSS Rover. An on-site demonstration with our Technical Sales Expert - Roch - gave the team the perfect opportunity to try out the instrument along with the X-PAD surveying software, and they were impressed with its capabilities.

“The machine itself was superior to the others in terms of speed and usability, and offered the best signal by far at our site without the need for a base station”, says Aaron Beausang.

As many other customers, Aaron also appreciated Hitechniques dedicated support, which includes basic training on the equipment and unlimited technical support provided by our experts.

“Hitechniques team offered great support anytime we needed it when getting started with the new kit. I would highly recommend Hitechniques and GeoMax to anyone looking for a great product and equally good support.”

Beausang Plant Hire & Civil Engineering are continuously investing in new equipment to ensure highest quality and accuracy of work for their customers. When they decided to #switchtogeomax our team helped them pick the right surveying solution, and now we look forward to seeing their business grow.

3D virtual tours are used in many fields such as education, entertainment, recreation, advertising, etc. They provide an interactive and user-guided experience, allowing viewers to move through any location as though they were right there and actually see what’s in every nook and cranny. 

Even though virtual walkthroughs are still most popular amongst real estate agents, hotel owners and property managers, they can benefit many other businesses and institutions. Coláiste Íosagáin is a great example of that.

Future-proof enrolment experience

Coláiste Íosagáin is a large Co-Educational Voluntary Catholic Secondary School in Co. Offaly, with an enrolment of over 1000 pupils. For the past few years they have enrolled between 210 and 240 First Year students. They host Open Evenings each year where they invite potential students from their feeder primary schools to view their campus. When the pandemic hit they had to find new ways of doing things.

They started with making a promotional video for their potential students, but felt it focused more on what the school offers as an educational institution and the enrolment process. What they really wanted was to give the incoming first year students a feel for the school. Since the new students weren’t able to get the usual tour of the building, the decision was made to try a virtual tour as a substitute for in-person events.

Virtual tour of the school was created by an official Matterport Service Provider and Hitechniques Matterport 3D Specialist - Oliver Murray. With the use of the Matterport Pro2 3D Camera Oliver scanned all the corridors, specialist rooms, PE Hall, Canteen and other spaces. All the footage and data were then processed using Matterport software, and within a week a 3D model of the school was ready.

The tour includes a dollhouse view of the school, floor plan, and the virtual walkthrough showing the whole building from almost every angle. You can follow the corridors to a class room, take a look at noticeboards, or even measure the lenght of the basketball court in the PE Hall. 

"We were delighted with the the virtual tour of our school and have sent it out to all the families of our incoming First Years. We have also put the virtual tour on our website. The feedback has been very positive.” Justin Brown, Deputy Principal of Coláiste Íosagáin.

At Hitechniques we are committed to sharing our knowledge and expertise. We do it by organising surveying trainings and offering technical support to our customers. Recently we also partnered with Niamh O’Donoghue - a PhD student from Cork - who’s doing research into erosion and climate change.

Niamh came to us looking to rent a GNSS Receiver. Roch helped her pick the best instrument for her project and provided training to help her get started.

Niamh is working with the GeoMax Zenith35 Pro and X-PAD software running on a Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 tablet to measure the beach slope and shore line position of the coast.

Read below to learn more about Niamh’s story as she answers a few questions about her project and why she decided to reach out to us.

1. Why did you choose Hitechniques as your service provider?

Niamh: I emailed a number of service providers I found online to rent a GNSS rover. Hitechniques responded immediately and also their daily and weekly quote for equipment rental was considerably cheaper than the competitors. They also offered a postal service of the equipment to my house (next day delivery). And for me to return it, it came with a return label which I just stuck on and returned to the post office. This was far easier than other companies who did not offer the delivery service, so I would have had to collect and return it myself which would be time consuming. Hitechniques employees have all been really helpful; I have been in touch with Philip, Jimmy, Roch and Dariusz so far and they are very personable, going above and beyond. They were really interested in my PhD project and were able to offer me the equipment at a discounted rate over the course of 1-2 years. This allows me to keep the equipment all the time rather than having to return it after each survey. This means I can plan a survey anytime and not worry if the equipment is available or not and it ensures consistency as I am using the same device throughout the project.

2. What problem did our product solve for you?

Niamh: It stopped the need of having to connect the tablet by usb to my computer when I want to export the points, as I can simply export them by email on the tablet. The tablet screen is matte so I can still see the screen even under bright sun. As I am new to this kind of technology, the user-friendliness helped someone like me get the hang of it quickly. It enables me to do surveys by myself which is useful as my supervisors are based in Cork and I am in Dublin, and they cannot be in the field with me at the moment with the travel restrictions. The product always stays connected to the internet and the satellite so I have not encountered issues yet on not being able to get a signal etc. Typically, an old method of measuring beach slopes, is a manual method using emery poles and a level, requiring 3 people which is more inaccurate and time consuming. There is also a total station but that requires two people. The Geomax GNSS receiver with X-PAD software allows me to sample alone, and it is extremely accurate and less time consuming.

3. Which features of X-PAD are the most valuable to you?

Niamh: It is so helpful that the X-PAD comes on the Samsung tablet. It makes surveying in the field so quick because it is a touch screen so I can easily measure and delete or edit points. It allows me to take photos for each survey I'm doing. On the 'Jobs' page, there is a list of all my surveys along with the photo of the survey location. This is helpful as it helps me visually separate one survey from the next instead of just being the title. The software is really user friendly so even when I'm not certain of something, it doesn't take long to figure it out by navigating through the different icons on the home screen. My surveys are based on beaches. The software enables me to put a basemap on the screen while I'm recording points so I can see a satellite view of where I am surveying. This is useful as it helps me identify where I am on the beach and my surroundings. You can export the DXF files in a matter of seconds to your email address. This means I can export them immediately in the field, which saves me having to connect a usb/ cable to my computer. Compared to other software I have used, the X-pad has the fastest set-up and connects to the GNSS rover in a matter of seconds to begin sampling, even in remote locations. This is important to me since I am sampling on beaches where I would worry about losing connection.

4. What are the challenges you encountered when working on your project?

Niamh: My first time surveying, I was on a beach and not fully used to the equipment. There was a connection error which Dariusz sorted with me over the phone. He also took the time to advise me on how best to survey as I was not sure if i was doing it correctly. The challenges have come more from the fact that it's my first time doing these surveys so I can be uncertain at times if I'm using the best survey method and if the method is reliable and repeatable but this is more an issue to do with human choice opposed to the equipment. So far the weather has been dry while surveying and the beaches have been quiet enough but I expect challenges will come during summer when people are sitting on the beach in the middle of my survey line. Another challenge would be that a PhD can be quite isolating, even more so with the restrictions and working from home. So there is less face to face communication. For example, I can't just walk into the supervisor's office to ask questions now or other students that shared the office space. Although things can be discussed over the phone and video call, I find it is much easier to do in person. So I suppose it has put more responsibility on me because I have done the first few surveys myself rather than with someone more knowledgeable watching over it.

5. How has your experience with Hitechniques been?

Niamh: My experience has been really good so far. There is never a delay when I have questions for them. Once we decided on what equipment to rent, Roch hand delivered it very quickly and went through how to set it up and practice all the functions, which made it less daunting. He really took the time to explain it to me and answer my questions. And Dariusz has been very helpful in the 2-3 times I called him for technical support. He was available to discuss and guide me through the issue immediately. This is so helpful as you never know what problem you may encounter while surveying and it's great to have someone respond immediately rather than the next day.

6. How likely is it that you would recommend us to a friend or colleague?

Niamh: I am 100% likely to recommend Hitechniques to friends, colleagues and other students who would need equipment. Not only do they provide the rental of top quality devices and latest software, they also are very hands on, ready to take a phone call if you have a query while surveying. Roch spent about 3 hours teaching me how to use the equipment. He travelled to my location which saved me travelling elsewhere. I would recommend them to anyone who needs equipment for their projects. Once you explain your project, they will recommend what device would be best for you.

Hitechniques’ slogan is "Your partner in measurement technology" because not only are we teaching customers to use surveying and measuring equipment every day, but we are continually learning from customers different ways in which GNSS Rovers and Total Stations can be used in the field.

Niamh's experience in using the Geomax GNSS Rover shows that even inexperienced users can use the equipment to record valuable research-based data that will help scientific understanding of the way our planet works. However, you don't have to be a scientist to use the equipment; hundreds or engineers, foremen, site operatives are measuring, surveying and setting out with our equipment every day.

Working with Brian Grace

Brian Grace owns and runs his general consulting engineering practice - BDG Engineering Consultancy - since 1995 and offers a wide range of services, including structural design, planning applications, building supervision, site mapping and property surveys.

Brian always stresses the importance of competency in current engineering methods and advances. It's one of the reasons why he decided to come to us, looking for new solutions that would help his business.

A big part of what we do at Hitechniques is advising our customers on which type of equipment will be the best for their business. In order to do that we learn about their needs and pick the solutions based on that knowledge. It's not always the latest or the most expensive, it's about finding a solution that will work for them.

For Brian we picked Zenith16 GNSS Receiver with X-PAD surveying software form GeoMax Positioning. It's a set that provides great performance and accuracy needed for the types of surveys Brian is often required to conduct.

How consulting engineering practice benefited from upgrading their surveying equipment? - Read Brian's story

"I've been asked by the Hitechniques team for feedback on my recently purchased GeoMax Zenith16 GNSS RTK Rover. This I do, following return from site after completing another topographical survey, which took me approximately two hours. I already have the survey uploaded to my office drawing package and am now ready to commence my design work.

I have no hesitation in saying that prior to the Zenith16, the two hours above would have been TWO DAYS (and possibly two people).

I attended the one-day course with Philip several years ago and on completion, with no prior experience of GNSS, had enough knowledge to be confident to hire the unit and complete a survey to my requirements.

Subsequently, as needs arose I hired the unit from Hitechniques on a daily / weekly basis, which was very satisfactory. I found I was ‘saving up’ jobs so that when I had the unit, I was doing several surveying jobs at a time. Once the ease of use and efficiency of the GNSS is experienced, it is almost impossible to return to traditional surveying methods!!

I am a sole practitioner, and the one-man operation of the Zenith16 is very attractive as opposed to a total station etc.

I have the Zenith16 and GeoMax X-PAD software for approximately three months. I have completed several surveys since purchase, and while I’m sure I’m not yet using it to its full potential, it has more than met with my survey expectations.

I am a consulting engineer in general practice and therefore not a specialized surveying provider. However, over the years I have found that the most basic of projects now nearly all require a detailed survey prior to commencement of my work. Some jobs may not be big enough to require the services of a dedicated surveying contractor. This is where I find the benefit of owning the GNSS – you have the accuracy when you need it.

Projects such as boundary disputes, legal mapping etc. now all require the precision provided by GNSS and using it in such situations provides confidence to clients that the job is done accurately.

When I took delivery of the Zenith16 I received a days training with the new unit from Roch (of Hitechniques) and we covered all the features of the rover and software to allow me to commence surveying immediately. Subsequently, any small queries I’ve had, Roch (and all the Hitechniques team) were hugely knowledgeable only a phone call away to address any issues.

All in all, I am very pleased I purchased the Zenith16 and I find it is ideal for the general survey type of work I require as a consulting engineer. I can confidently say I certainly won’t be returning to the old measuring tape!!!" Brian Grace, Chartered Engineer

Working with Brian was a great pleasure and we are very happy knowing he's satisfied with his purchase.

We'd like to take this opportunity to, once again, thank him for sharing his experience with us and the community, and to wish him all the best with his future endeavours.
