Pin the tail on the utility line isn't as fun as it sounds, especially when it's a marked (or unmarked) line. 📌 You can easily visualize the location of existing underground networks using the vGIS software minimizing the risk of pipe/conduit damage. When you pair our software with a #GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) device like the Leica Zeno FLX100 plus - you can see the utility data with high accuracy and act on it in a fraction of the time it takes for other traditional methods.

Finally 🎉 !! Kontur is once again pioneering subsurface insight by releasing a new product series of sensors filled with new features and improved performance. Push your business ahead of competitors with more efficient, more accurate and better data quality asset management. #innovation #GPR #assetmanagement #pioneers #subsurface #insight

As the next step in our mission to push the boundaries of subsurface investigation, Kontur is very proud to introduce the next generation of multi-channel, 3-dimensional ground penetrating radar - the Mk6 Series. * The Mk6 joins our highly rated Mk4 Series in the Kontur portfolio of transformative products. With its integrated radar unit and reduced hardware signature, it's the perfect tool for high-volume and complex projects, where time and data quality matter. Featuring a frequency range from 30MHz to 4,500MHz and an integrated IMU, the Mk6 Series offers unparalleled resolution, positioning, and collection efficiency. Don't let valuable insights stay buried. Unrivaled Features for Unprecedented Results: ·        Integrated Radar Unit ·        Integrated RTK GPS ·        Reduced hardware signature ·        Frequency ranges from 30MHz to 4,500MHz ·        Integrated IMU ·        Available in multiple antenna widths The Mk6 Series includes 3 antenna types: AIR - The perfect tool for high-speed pavement and bridge investigations GROUND - Unparalleled resolution for deeper investigations like utility mapping, bridge deck analysis, and higher resolution at depth. DEEP - For those projects that require deeper penetration while maintaining shallow resolution. Stay ahead of the curve: Kontur's cutting-edge technology keeps industry leaders ahead of the competition and at the forefront of innovation. *Not currently available for sale in the USA, FCC approval pending. #NewRelease #News #GroundPenetratingRadar #subsurface

The user experience is of great importance when deciding to invest in the best GNSS solution. Modern surveying equipment represents a significant investment. Leica Geosystems GNSS solutions come with Leica Captivate field software to ensure the time spent on-site is efficient.

Have you seen any of the #ArcGIS FieldMaps 𝑻𝒊𝒑𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒆𝒂𝒎 videos? These are short videos prepared by the product team sharing tips and tricks on how to use Field Maps! The latest video demonstrates how to extract the orthometric height from the geometry z value collected from high accuracy GNSS receivers and store it as an attribute, while also converting the unit from meters to feet.

Is sub-centimetre accuracy realistic for a GNSS topo Survey? Here we tested the Trimble Geospatial R12i GNSS positioning against the Trimble S7 total station, using Integrated Surveying and a tripod to stabilise the pole while measuring the same points with both systems. The accuracy of less than a centimetre horizontal and vertical error from a quick GNSS measurement offers a viable option to total station measurement for many project requirements. - GNSS points are 5-second observations. - Total station points are single face measurements. - Total station fixed points measured with mini-prism (100 mm prism height). - Fixed points were established with the average of two GNSS observed control points, with the pole rotated 180° between the 30-second observations to reduce the effects of any equipment imbalances. As ever, the project and environmental conditions should be suitable for GNSS measurements, and the accuracy feedback in Trimble Access should be observed. #surveying #vermessung #rtk #gnss #trimbleS7 #TrimbleR12i #TrimbleAccess #workflow #productivity #geospatial

Actually, as much as we want to believe, this is simply not true. The R12i GNSS instrument specifications state the RTK vertical is 15mm (presumably) at one sigma - this is 30mm (3CM=0.09') at two sigma with 10% of the measurements falling outside of the 30mm. Trimble has a vested interest in making and advertising these instruments as accurate as possible. If their tens of millions of epochs of testing could report better accuracy, they certainly would do so. A couple of parking lot shots is meaningless as to restating Trimble's testing to determine their specifications. Take Trimble's word for it before you get sued for negligence and have to write a check for damages. Check out OC CLSA videos, video 4, for more information: https://lnkd.in/g9wu8GQK

Contouring a brief Topo / As Built survey for St. Modwen St. Modwen Homes Cummings Group. Spot levels taken using Topcon Positioning GB Hiper SR GNSS receiver and Topcon DS203 Total Station. Creation of a Digital Terain Model from those levels via Topcon Magnet software and then out-putting the contours at 50mm intervals.
