**Strat Aero plc** (LON:AERO) has today announced its recent progress by its wholly
owned subsidiary Geocurve Limited.

Geocurve has been awarded an initial contract by Hesselberg Hydro, a specialist 
in the application of asphalt in hydraulic engineering, in particular systems for
erosion protection, underwater scour protection and waterproofing. The contract 
will initially provide revenues over four months, with work commencing in July. 
The contract can be extended on an indefinite basis and includes options to add 
extra services in the future.

Roger Smith, director and founder at Hesselberg Hydro Ltd said, “I am constantly
looking for ways to enhance the service that I provide for my customers and Geocurve
is a perfect fit for making this a reality. Geocurve is offering an innovative package
unlike any other on the market and I am excited to start this new relationship.”

Geocurve has also undertaken its first contracted 3 dimensional survey for AECOM,
which designs, builds, finances and operates infrastructure assets in more than 
150 countries. We are hopeful that this innovative application of Geocurve’s technology
to the survey of a large airstrip and associated infrastructure will lead to further,
more substantial, contracts.

> **Gary Nel, Managing Director of Geocurve, said** “We are delighted to have been
> awarded this contract and are keen to build on this first survey with the new 
> Leica Pegasus:Two scanner outside the TEAM2100 Thames project. We will be looking
> to secure many more of these types of surveys for AECOM.”
> **Chris Gill, head of Geomatics at AECOM said,** “I am extremely excited about
> the use of the Pegasus system and see mobile mapping as a crucial tool in mass
> data capture. I am impressed by the absolute and relative accuracies of the system
> but really like the QA reports that are possible in the TopoDOT software. These
> reports give exactly what a client like AECOM requires and is perfect for making
> sure the data is fit for purpose. Geocurve is a local SME and I really like the
> way they work and provide a very efficient, high quality service.”

In response to anticipated future demand, Geocurve, in conjunction with Essex University,
has developed a room scale Virtual Reality suite. With this resource, using UAV 
captured imagery, 3D models can be developed by geo-referencing and stitching together
many high-resolution images. This technique has widespread potential usage for environmental
and industrial applications. Until now information has been displayed using 2D projections
of 3D computer information, importing data into the new system permits visualisation
and identification in a way not possible before. Geocurve has delivered to a commercial
client the first VR deliverables using this technology with the results significantly
exceeding expectations.

Geocurve continues to focus on the acquisition of major corporate customers and 
to pursue its ambition to be the UK market leader in the supply of innovative virtual
reality and artificial intelligence surveying services to specialist customers on
critical infrastructure projects. The directors believe that Geocurve’s skill set
and its use of innovative technology has the potential to transform the practice
of surveying.
