GPS UNITS

  • Leica total station surveying system

  • two Trimble GeoExplorer II GPS receivers

  • four Trimble GeoExplorer 3 GPS data loggers

  • RTK-GPS (Real-Time Kinematic Global Positioning System)

    • It is comprised of a Trimble R8 GNSS base and rover (each containing integrated antenna, receiver and data-link radio), a TSC2 survey controller, software, and accessories. This survey-grade equipment is optimal for detailed topographic measurements, and is capable of sub-centimeter accuracy when taking static measurements, and errors on the order of 1 cm horizontally and 2 cm vertically when in motion.
