Our Equipment
We use the latest surveying technology from Trimble and Leica to ensure that our topographic, measured building surveys and setting out are of the highest standard and accuracy. See below for more information about our equipment and links to the manufacturers websites.
Trimble S6 Robotic Total Stations
'The Trimble S6 Total Station redefines instrument performance with unsurpassed integration of servos and angle sensors. The instrument's advanced error compensation provides fast, accurate measurements every time. With the smooth silent servo motors of MagDrive servo technology, the Trimble S6 offers exceptional speed and accuracy.'
"Using the S6 has significantly cut down the time it takes to complete a survey and I know my measurements are accurate."
Andrew Stretch, LDS Surveyor

Trimble 5600 Total Stations
'The Trimble 5600 Direct Reflex Total Station give you access to the best and most productive measuring methods available for every measuring situation. DR technology from Trimble enables measurement without a prism even to exceptional distances. Hard-to-reach or unsafe targets are no obstacle for the Trimble 5600.'
"The 5600 is an excellent instrument for setting out because of its prism tracking method and regular prism constants."
Mervyn Sparks, LDS Surveyor
Trimble 5600 Total Station
Leica 400 Total Station
'Measuring with the TPS400 could not be easier. With a laser plummet and electronic level the instrument is quickly set up and ready to measure. The proven endless fine drive and the accurate Leica telescope with 30-times magnification precisely targets each measuring point.'
"Its ability to measure extremely short distances has made measuring precise room footprints really straightforward."
Andrew Stretch, LDS Surveyor
Leica 400 Total Station
Trimble R8 GPS
'The GNSS receiver, antenna, radio-modem and battery are combined in one compact unit. This field-proven configuration gives surveyors the latest in GNSS technology in a user-friendly system that is lightweight, rugged, and cable free.'
"It has revolutionised fitting our data to the OS network."
Arthur Riley, LDS Surveyor
Trimble R8 GPS
Sokkia SDL30 Digital Level
'The Sokkia SDL30 Digital Level has been further improved by adding a large internal memory. The results are immediately indicated digitally on the LCD display and can be recorded in the internal memory - making the SDL30 the ideal instrument for quick and easy levelling.'
"Despite recent advances in technology there is still a place for precise levelling, which can only be done with instruments such as these."
Peter Collings, LDS Surveyor
Sokkia SDL30 Digital Level
Leica DISTO and VYES37 PC
'The Leica DISTO plus is the only device in the world that offers the highest accuracy, attractive design and wireless data transfer by means of Bluetooth in one package. The data can be transferred on site wireless to a PDA and easily used for other purposes.'
"The Bluetooth function of these more recent Disto's has had great benefits in transferring data to our MBS equipment."
