We recently purchased two new Leica Viva GPS (or more correctly GNSS) systems, it has been an exciting time setting up and testing this new equipment to ensure it will perform for us. It is now booked solidly with our teams often sharing it throughout the day.

The system has exceeded our expectations and is proving to be an incredible new tool, the key areas that it has helped us in are;

Starting surveys: All surveys require an initial survey to find the old survey marks, with GNSS we are able to quickly obtain better control, basically more for less.

Manholes: We don't need line of site to survey the manholes meaning we can survey more manholes in less time.

Topographical Surveys: We can mount the gear on a quad bike and survey as fast as we can ride, incredible for rural sites.

The equipment links with our theodolites to provide a fully integrated survey system meaning greater speed and flexibility. All of this means more information, better information and better surveys.

It really is running hot!
