There is a wide variety of total stations ranging from the traditional theodolite to the robotic total station. They are used to carry out detailed topographic surveys and vital in setting out engineering structures as well monitoring completed ones.
With the advantage to access hard to reach areas and gather data quickly, safely and efficiently, drones can reduce the need for ground based surveying equipment and personnel saving time and money.
Level equipment are very important for any activity where plumbness and slopes are required. They are very durable due to the nature of work they are involved in and given the fact that they have very few moving parts.
These are Global Navigation Satellite Systems used to provide accurate location data essential for geodetic controls establishment and re-establishment. They offer real time location data (RTK) helping to quickly, accurately and efficiently carry out topographical surveys that would essentially take long with optical equipment.
