The world cup is a global event watched by millions of viewers - a sporting treasure. The planning and construction works behind such an event are enormous. The football stadium built in Paris for the world cup is a classic example of such. In busy, crowded and time pressed environments, timing is everything.

The civil engineers on site are always in demand, juggling a number of tasks at the same time. Their end goal is to ensure that the structures are both safe and within design criteria. Making a number of spot or check measurements can be time consuming, and usually requires an assistant.

The DISTO memo has been designed so that the civil engineer can think about other important things

With the DISTO memo , the civil engineer can store 1000 measurements and then call them up at any time for inspection or comparison with the dimensions on the plan. Better still, the measurement can be directly recorded into sketches on-line with a palmtop or laptop.
