    Side Boom

    Here are a few of my pics of side booms from the Milford to Brecon 48" gas pipeline. I was heading up a team of As-built surveyors for my fathers surveying company. Loved being around proper sized metal and miss the pipeline scene badly! P.s If anyone would like to reproduce any...

    Sitting on the fence

    Out of interest, what is the going rate for a full Trimble/Topcon kit in the states these days? Also what is the support like in the background i.e Data prep, on site assistance, spare parts supply etc? Cheers, Flewy

    Ocala Excavision II

    Have you looked at the Prolec Digmaster 2D system? Very simple and easy to use. Re the Ocala Excavision system, give yourself time to get used to it and thouroughly read the instructions and I think you'll find it a very useful asset.:)

    That fair lump of rock is Brean Down, next to Weston-Super-Mare (where I live) Was a rather handy place for the base to be left all day without being pinched. Whereabouts are you based TCT? And whats you're line of work?

    Hello from the Uk

    Hi there all. I have been a 'lurker' (oo-er!) for a reasonable while here and I'd like to introduce myself properly. My name is Dave Flew and I'm a qualified Mechanic/Panel Beater/Land Surveyor with more than a passing interest in Plant of all types. I have recently with my father...

    Trimble or Topcon?

    I had some down time today with my Topcon Hiper Pro's. I had six satellites in view but in a line from east to west! Only took a few mins before things moved on and I could get back to work though. I usually get about half an hour once a week where things go like that but no more...

    Trimble or Topcon?

    Thats intersting A S, has it caused issues for you using the Glonass signal? I see elsewhere in this thread others saying they've achieved a better grade using just the GPS alone. I must admit certainly here in the UK I get a quicker fix on my Topcon Hiper Pro kit I use for surveying than...

    GPS and the Small Time Operator

    Hi Larry, Just re-reading my post and I must admit I come across as a sceptic par excellence! The truth is actually the exact opposite! I fully understand what you mean, I was trying to point out that just expecting people to find their own way with these systems wasn't really good...

    GPS and the Small Time Operator

    Without wanting to sound rude, how do you expect any operators of GPS Machine Guidance systems to 'basically customize their own GPS solution. With all due respect, I would imagine most user's on this forum are experts in their chosen area of work and would have little or no working knowledge...

    Trimble or Topcon?

    Ignore the link, It seems as though I'll have to find another way to post it. Its showed the Topcon Hiper Pro working very well under quite ridiculous tree cover on a mainline gas pipe (48") we did the as-built survey for. Here is another pic from the same Job. This was typical of where...

    Hi all, I'm Dave a Land Surveyor from the UK. I have extensive GPS and Ground Modelling experience and am putting this to good use with GPS machine Guidance. I have just set up a company in the UK dealing with the Prolec Digmaster Pro and PCX-3D systems. I have seen the exact same thing on...
