The most common types of surveying instruments include:
- GNSS Surveying Equipment: For location synchronization, our navigation systems and GPS land survey equipment employ satellites and receiver algorithms to aid in positioning, mapping, and navigation from one location to another.
- Total Stations: Angles are measured with this little, lightweight instrument. There are numerous models of total stations, primarily falling into four categories: Scanning Total Stations, Robotic Total Stations, Autolock Total Stations, and Total Mechanical Stations.
- Drones: Drones are newer to the land surveying tool arsenal, but with RTK capability and highly accurate cameras, they can be an efficient way to map large areas and hard-to-reach places.
- 3D Laser Scanning: For places with geometrical complexities, this tool offers surveyors precise data and measurements. It also assists surveyors in obtaining scan accuracy even at fast speeds, making it simple to fix faulty results.
- Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM): This instrument facilitates measuring great distances by delivering rapid and precise measurements. It is also used to position objects or points in three dimensions, relating to the unit.
- Digital Theodolite: This instrument is used to determine horizontal and vertical angles.
- Automatic Level: The auto level confirms and establishes points in the same horizontal plane. It is also used to measure height disparities and to set heights.
- The Rotary Laser Level: This tool assists surveyors in creating a 360-degree plane. Surveyors use this equipment for both internal and outdoor fit-out tasks.
