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.

    Equipment, materials and testing combine to offer motorists better road markings as Patrick Smith reports Drivers realise that clear road markings, particularly in darkness and during the wet, are life-savers, offering guidance and direction. Manufacturers of marking materials, in-road studs, and testing and laying equipment have spent years perfecting solutions to make such markings easier to place; easier to see through the use of a variety of materials, and longer lasting.

    A massive construction project has been underway deep in the heart of the Schnecktal valley area in Germany. From the surface, though, you would never be able to tell. The majority of the work is underground, as a joint-venture team led by German contractor Wayss and Freytag Ingenieurbau builds the nearly 7km long Finne Tunnel. After a few years of tunnel boring operations, the contractor is at work finishing the interior of the tunnel, slipforming first the tunnel’s floor and then a walkway with its GOMACO

    Juniper, spruce, cranberry, cottonwood and rose. Most people think of pine trees and berries amid beautiful country fields. But for one contractor based just below the Arctic Circle in the US state of Alaska, the names represent a successful job completed using machine control. Valley General Construction recently finished a US$350,000 contract for the upgrading of country roads in the local borough of Matanuska-Susitna. The colourful names belong to roads in a heavily wooded residential subdivision located
