Precision pinpointing

Leica Geosystems says that its TS30 package is a new high precision Total Station that meets highest standards in all surveying applications. Distances can now be measured with Leica Geosystems' proven PinPoint EDM Technology with an unprecedented precision of 0.6mm + 1ppm on prisms. On natural surfaces a high accuracy of 2mm + 2ppm up to 1,000m can be achieved.

Precise positioning is possible with the new TS30 package from Leica Geosystems
265 Leica Geosystems says that its TS30 package is a new high precision Total Station that meets highest standards in all surveying applications. Distances can now be measured with Leica Geosystems' proven PinPoint EDM Technology with an unprecedented precision of 0.6mm + 1ppm on prisms. On natural surfaces a high accuracy of 2mm + 2ppm up to 1,000m can be achieved.

New direct drives using piezo technology were developed for the Leica TS30, allowing high tracking performance, with maximum acceleration and speed while maintaining accuracy under demanding conditions. This new technology allows automated one-person surveying and higher productivity.

Combined with the firm's Leica SmartWorx software, users can set the package up as a Leica TS30 SmartStation with the latest future proof GNSS antenna to provide immediate station coordinates. With the GNSS antenna on top of the 360° prism as a SmartPole, quick and accurate set-up can be achieved on-the-fly.

Features of the TS30 include long service intervals and low power consumption as well as a durable construction to withstand severe environments. The piezo drives allow for longer operation through low power consumption with sophisticated power management.

    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

    Major developments in soil compaction are being introduced - Mike Woof writes. With manufacturers keen to meet new regulations and deliver greater performance to customers, an array of new soil compactors are now coming to market. One of the new developments from the Ammann Group is the unveiling of its ASC 110 Tier 3 soil compactor, which is powered by a Cummins QSG 4.5 diesel rated at 119kW and has a 2.13m-wide drum. This machine is designed to meet the needs of emergent markets where high quality fuels w

    Widening the busy A4 road in Switzerland to four lanes was achieved quickly by using the latest paving technology. Increased traffic required the widening of the A4 from two to four lanes along a 20km section, with two lanes separated by a central divider in each direction. Carrying 20,000-25,000 vehicles/day, the trunk road between Winterthur and Schaffhausen was one of Switzerland's busiest two-lane stretches, and as a result, the Federal Council of Switzerland in Bern planned an enlargement of the dual-l

    Leica Geosystems is now offering a sophisticated machine control tool for use with compaction equipment. The firm’s advanced iCON roller package is said to offer contractors an effective solution that can deliver constant and effective compaction on any site. The new iCON roller has on-screen visualisation to show the user where completed passes have occurred and where more are needed for consistent results. Colour coding helps avoid costly reworking as pass count progress is constantly tracked. The unit
