Highlights of current issue are:
- Prague underground tunnels crossing the Vlatava River
The project for the construction of tunnels as part of the new extension of Prague’s Underground was faced with certain space limitations due to the location of an existing station. In addition, the particularly rough terrain in the area had considerable influence on the position of the planned station.
- Leica Geosystems simplifies measuring with the new DISTO generation
“Anyone who has performed measurements just once using a Disto hand-held laser meter, will always leave the trundle wheel and folding rulers back at home in future. And the same goes for a ladder and a second person to hold the other end of the tape measure or to steady the ladder,” says Franz Noser, a façade construction project manager of the Bern-based company Gesta.
- New PowerSearch sensor for Leica TPS1100
Automatic, practical programs are the main features of the TPS1100 Professional Series. Modern functions that make working more productive, more precise and more relaxed. Now the new Power-Search sensor for the TPS1100 features a quick and reliable prism search, which sets new standards for robotic surveying.
- Leica DIGI™ – tracking buried objects
You’re on the job site and you want to start digging as soon as you can, but you’re unsure of what is underground. You don’t want to wait for the line inspector, and you don’t want to incur the offers everything surveyors can demand from a surveying instrument: A lightweight practical design, an easy-to-learn user interface, a wide range of practical application programs, a highly accurate reflectorless distance measurement, a powerful automatic target recognition, and an efficient one-man operation. expense, either. The solution: Leica Geosystems’ DIGI™ Underground Service Location System, providing a fast, safe and accurate solution for tracing buried utility services.
- Earth moving made easy by intelligent dozer
Moving earth is a fact of life in mining and construction – a painstaking and time-consuming task. Leica Geosystems, in partnership with Tritronics (Australia) Pty Ltd and assisted by their Australian Distributor, C.R. Kennedy & Company Pty Ltd, however, have developed just the solution – the Leica DOZER 2000T. Without even stepping out of the office, the mining engineer and surveyor have direct radio contact with the machine operator who is working with the bulldozer.
- Statue of Liberty Cyra scan provides historical documentation
State-of-the-art Cyra laser-scanning technology was adapted to quite an extraordinary task recently when it was used to document the detailed surface geometry of New York’s most famous landmark – the Statue of Liberty. Traditionally used in the industrial plant and civil infrastructure fields, laser scanning’s ability to capture highly detailed, 3D surface geometry of large structures made it a good match for the complex geometry of the Statue of Liberty.
- Setting new standards in portable coordinate measurement
For over a decade, Leica’s Trackers have defined metrology in the aerospace, automotive, and general industry. In the near future, Leica Geosystems will take tracking to a new level by turning traditional trackers into portable CMM solutions, adding a revolutionary set of accessories.
- Technology revolution spans 100 years on Mountain peak
Everyone knows that a specific landscape and climate leave their mark on the people living there. The same goes for the history of technology, surveying and mapping where these factors triggered important technological developments and signalled the starting shot for new companies. Thus, the history of modern surveying began exactly one hundred years ago in Switzerland’s Lower Valais region on the slopes of the Dents du Midi. These 3200-metre peaks, whose reflections shimmer on Lake Ge-neva, were the decisive challenge for a basic discovery in the field of surveying.
- The Point-and-Click future of GIS
Since its 2001 acquisition of LH Systems and ERDAS, Leica Geosystems Geospatial Imaging Division has mobilized to integrate its product offerings in airborne data acquisition, geographic imaging, GPS/GIS, and Land Information Systems. As it begins to optimize the interoperability of these complementary technologies, Leica Geosystems aims to transform the way we capture, analyze, and use spatial data.
- RUGBY 100LR: combining heritage and expertise
The RUGBY 100LR is the first branded laser built from the combined heritage and expertise of Laser Alignment and Leica Geosystems. Rugged, reliable and the best value-for-money general construction laser, the RUGBY 100LR is an automatic self-leveling general construction laser. |
