It’s a level playing field with Leica’s iCON gps 70 Series

Efficiency is the name of the game from the iCON gps 70 Series, a GNSS rover from Leica Geosystems. With the iCON gps 70 T you can measure and stakeout points faster and without the need to keep the pole vertical and level the bubble.

Leica’s iCON gps 70: no need to keep the pole vertical and level the bubble

Efficiency is the name of the game from the iCON gps 70 Series, a GNSS rover from Leica Geosystems.

With the iCON gps 70 T you can measure and stakeout points faster and without the need to keep the pole vertical and level the bubble.

The combination of the latest GNSS technology and inertial measurement unit (IMU) equips the iCON gps 70 T with permanent tilt compensation and makes it resistant to any magnetic interference.

Because the iCON gps 70 T is calibration-free, it can be ready instantly and anywhere that it is needed.

The on-site operator can collect as-built field data and stake out designs faster while increasing accuracy and reduced errors. This also allows the operative to focus more on his or her safety in a hazardous environment.

The iCON gps 70 series is seamlessly integrated into the Leica iCON field software. By keeping the core central interface, following the unrivalled Leica iCON concept, the onsite operative can benefit from the simple-to-use workflows which require less training and avoid costly downtime.

The GNNSS technology allows 555 channels for more signals, faster acquisition
and improved sensitivity.

To ensure accuracy and continued use, the unit is IP66 / IP68 protected. It is also built for extreme temperatures of -40°C to +65°C.

    The market and technology for weigh-in-motion systems continues to evolve – Mike Woof writes. for both mature and developing highway infrastructure networks, traffic densities play an important role in determining road wear and life. Monitoring traffic volumes and individual vehicle weight is crucial for ensuring roads can cope in the long term and that maintenance can be planned, while the problem of overloading can be eliminated.

    Traditional pavement drying typically involves the use of jet engine dryers, infrared heat and portable blowers, combined with brooms and manual squeegees. Each method has its limitations along with safety concerns. These include the use of jet fuel, noise, melting pavement, danger from thrown rocks or other objects – not mention slow results. Because of this, traffic is often fully restricted from traveling on roads or runways where drying work is taking place.

David Arminas reports from the CECE conference in Rome For many contractors, digitisation is key for improving on-site operational efficiency. But it may be time to take stock of progress and examine what does and doesn’t work. That is not to say that the anchors should be thrown out to halt development. Far from it. In the past eight months, the CECE - Committee for European Construction Equipment – led
