Total Station is the equipment used in surveying, designed to measure vertical and vertical angles, which include measuring the sloping distance of the object to the instrument. It combines electromagnetic distance measuring (EDM) and electronic theodolite instruments. Furthermore, it also consists of a microprocessor with a memory unit that deals with the fundamental calculation, readings, […]

Before construction can be done on the property, the area has to be surveyed using an underground utility locator tool to ensure its safety to start digging. There are methods that companies use in locating underground utilities.  Moreover, when starting an excavating project or new building, it is essential to detect any underground utility mapping […]

Underground Utility Locator Safety is a high priority! Working outdoors and using an underground utility locator is prone to many safety hazards. It holds especially true for projects like utility locating or excavation work. Digging up the ground where underground pipes, cables, and lines present many natural and manufactured dangers. Moreover, it is important to […]

Have you been on a worksite where the engineer only used theodolite or transit to check grades for the total station? It takes them long to calculate an elevation, set up, measure the point and find their benchmark that you might send the crew home when it takes so long. These days, most engineers use […]

There's a lot of work behind the scenes of iDig Excavision before starting building when it comes to construction. One of the construction process's essential stages and the first step is using excavation. It isn't always easy, and it's not a particularly inexpensive step in the process, but it's vitally essential. Excavation is important for […]

The use of an underground pipe locator aids in the correct location of underground wire paths. It also determines the precise depth of the buried wires. There are two pieces to an underground wire locator: a transmitter and a receiver. A transmitter is an AC generator that sends the signal current to the buried cable […]

When it comes to Futtura iDig guidance and control technologies, most people think of large site and road-building projects. But it’s not only for large dirt-moving applications. Whether it’s foundation work, flatwork prep, trenching, or underwater dredging, a 2D precision solution can have an impact on a contractor’s bottom line. The iDig control system has […]

The total station is electronic/optical equipment that uses discrete points to sketch a building accurately. By greatly simplifying the construction layout process, total stations boost productivity and accuracy. It's a cutting-edge surveying tool that combines an electronic theodolite and an electronic distance meter. A theodolite is a device that measures angles in horizontal and vertical […]

Underground cable locators are infrastructures to provide subsurface services to people. They are commonly built by public utility companies but installed as private utilities by property owners. For that reason, public utilities come in the form of cables and pipes which transport from water to your internet connection. This depends on the location and locator […]

The best Rotary Laser Levels are a must-have for any construction worker, contractor, or DIY user because it has a large range for precise measurements in various work environments. However, choosing the right one can be time-consuming and difficult with such a wide choice of products on the market. It's also difficult to choose among […]
