Highlights of current issue are:
- Young Explorers survey Tanzanian volcano - Ol Doinyo Lengai
Thirty-eight Young Explorers recently took part in a scientific expedition to Tanzania where they used Leica Geosystems equipment to carry out surveys and geoscientific measurements of the active volcano, Ol Doinyo Lengai.
- MetroNet brings 21st century technology to the underground
ABA Surveying are using laser scanning to capture gauging data ahead of new rolling stock on the London Underground.
- Saint Sophia - Deciphering the "Eight Wonder of the World"
Almost one and a half thousand years after its construction in the center of ancient Constantinople, Saint Sophia has divulged the secret of its design principle. Volker Hoffmann, professor at the Institute for Art History at the University of Bern, deciphered this using state-of-the-art HDS laser technology from Leica Geosystems. The handheld laser meter Leica DISTO™ also played an important role at an early stage of the research project.
- Golf course design and construction guidance at Bad Ragaz uses same 3D data record
In the context of the research project, "gps rt 3d p - gps and real-time-based 3D planning", the HSR Technical University Rapperswil, Switzerland, achieves golf-course terrain modeling for the first time using GPS in real time. This research project looks into the question of how "earth grading by real-time GPS" might function as part of an overall digital operation for the planning of a golf course.
- UK Surveyors put complete trust in Leica Geosystems
The success story of Leica’s System 1200 is continuing, as this report from UK Surveyors illustrates. Leica Geosystems has completed delivery of 14 TPS1200, two GPS1200 receivers, a DNA03 digital level and a HDS3000 upgrade to UK Surveyors, Greenhatch Group.
- Leica Geosystems' instruments play key role in Sydney's biggest ever infrastructure project
The A$ 2 billion Epping to Chatswood Rail Link, that is being constructed though the most densely populated suburbs of Australia’s biggest city, is using top-of-the range equipment from Leica Geosystems. Total stations TCA1101s and TCRA1101s as well as the DNA03 Precise Digital Level are being used for general tunnel surveying while the TCA1800s are being used to guide the giant tunnel boring machines and road headers to ensure the accuracy of the tunnelling.
- The Award Winning "Walk around CMM"
Driven by customer requirements and based on Leica’s existing technologies used for camera-equipped automatic theodolites Leica Geosystems has developed a new three-dimensional measuring system. Our Metrology division is now able to address not only typical laser application segments such as in tooling but also parts inspection and digitization applications in the aerospace, automotive and general precision industries.
- New Leica HDS3000 Lifts Scanning into Everday Use for Metco Services
Metco Services is a progressive civil engineering and surveying company based in Detroit, Michigan. The company maintains approximately seven survey crews from two offices that provide topographic surveying and construction staking services. The company recently began using their new Leica HDS3000 for everyday topographic, as-built, and site surveys. |
