Nowadays, service reliability is improved for using underground cable locating by moving cables from overhead to underground. While moving underground helped to ensure continuity, it also ushered in extra layers of challenges. However, landscapers and construction companies no longer have a line of sight on these critical lines. For that reason, one unlucky nudge of […]

A rotary laser level is a complicated piece of equipment used to take measurements on construction sites. Like any tool in your arsenal, buying a rotary laser level is an investment. You first need to know what you’re getting into. In this article, we’ll share with you the things you need to consider when buying […]

After a turbulent period of changing expectations and adjusting forecasts, 2022 will be a year of growth and reemergence in the construction industry for Futtura iDig Automation Control Systems equipment. Rising construction labor and costs shortages persist that challenges the industry to innovate competitive new ideas. With that being said, stricter regulations contribute to a […]

A Robotic Total Station is a remote electronic and optical instrument used in surveying and building construction. Compared to the traditional total station, the robotic total station allows a remote operation, meaning you will only need one operator to perform calculations and inspections in a far less time and more accurately than a traditional one. […]

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 […]
