Our Leica GPS 1200 is connected to the Leica Smartnet system, which consists of a network of Leica and O.S. base stations located around the country, linked to a central server in Docklands, London.

From this system, license fee payers can receive corrections via GPRS data received on a mobile phone connected to the GPS receiver. This gives us accuracies of approximately 10-15mm in plan and 10-30mm in elevation for topographical work. This can also be averaged down by taking sets of observations, which makes it ideal for control on sites. This control can always be found or re-established even after several years due to the non physical nature of the system.

Our GPS enables us to survey large areas, on a one man basis, at relative speed with no limit to the size of the area to be surveyed. If greater accuracy is required, or there happens to be visibility obstructions for the satellites i.e. Trees or buildings, it would typically be used together with our Total Stations to provide even more flexibility and precision.

A scale factor may also be applied to the Total Station data collected following instruction from our clients.

The amalgamation of both our GPS services and our Total Station procedure, provides us with the ability to carry out projects ranging from small topographical surveys, setting out work, pipelines, landfill, quarries, field measurements, river and lake surveys to large comprehensive topographical surveys.

We can offer a real-time GPS service giving Ordnance Survey grid co-ordinates and level on site within minutes.
