Monitoring solutions with topcon Access the on-demand webinar Join us for this webinar where we discuss the typical monitoring applications, typical system design, the Topcon monitoring suite andd Delta watch/live capabiltiies and reporting! We will also share a range of real-world case studies. During this session, Topcon product experts will discuss the key advantages of the MS series of monitoring-grade total stations so that you can spend minimal time on the job site and generate a high-precision monitoring network with confidence. Alan Jones, Senior Business Development Manager, Topcon (pictured, right) will look at Topcon’s approach to hardware and also the associated software platform. Alan will also reflect on case studies that demonstrate the success of the Topcon MS series. Duration:
The team at JDA Co (JDA) were working on the Wilson Cottage & Villa project on Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland when they introduced the Z+F IMAGER 5016 laser scanner from Aptella to this project because the challenging rock bed on-site needed to be explored with the design of the villa. Arjan Sandhu, Architectural Student, B. Arch Design, JDA explained that the Wilson Cottage & Villa project on the remote Lizard Island called for an ecologically sensitive design which respected the island’s remote and serene environment. This made it especially important that this environment was captured with the laser scanner. “As architects it is vital to go on site and explore the possible applications
Aptella is committed to supporting our industry and our customers to keep working and in this current climate of uncertainty, it is more important than ever to reduce your capital outlay and save money. One way you can do this is to consider hire and rent options, we’ve listed the benefits of hiring from Aptella below. Aptella offers a full range of construction equipment for hire, from pipe and building site lasers to 3D laser scanning, 2D and 3D machine systems, laser levels, hydraulic machine scales and high precision machine guidance used in mining, landfill, quarrying, dredging and renewable energy sectors. “Hiring survey or construction equipment is a great way for companies to be able to get the
Billy Biletic, Director, Biletic’s Excavations had been researching the iDig 2D machine control system from Aptella for a few weeks when he came across a Facebook post by Aptella for an iDig 2D machine control system giveaway competition and won the competition with his photo entry. “When I came across it on Facebook, I started looking into videos and information on other people’s experiences with the system and what the technology can and can’t do,” said Mr Biletic. “I was impressed by the features of the iDig system.” Mr Biletic has the iDig 2D machine control system from Aptella installed on his 8t and 5t Caterpillar excavators and has found the iDig and machinery work seamlessly together. “I
Menai Civil is using a range of Topcon GPS/GNSS, rovers, tablets and drones from Aptella on its new project at Shell Heights near Shell Harbour in NSW. Brendan Lawrence, Survey Manager, Menai Civil uses Tokara remote support from Aptella to increase the productivity of the machines on site and to decrease downtime. “Nearly all the machinery we’ve got on site here has got a Topcon GPS/GNSS from Aptella in it so they’re all working to design levels, we’re also using a Phantom 4 drone that we purchased from Aptella which is giving us weekly quantities and lets us know how we’re going production wise,” said Mr Lawrence. Why did Menai Civil choose technology from Aptella? Mr Lawrence chose
Tokara remote access to construction equipment enables contractors to solve machinery issues, update design files and more, whilst maintaining social distancing. Aptella’ Tokara Link gives workers access to machines whether they are in different states or down the road. Maintaining distancing on the job site Social distancing requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic mean sites and contractors need to adjust the way they work to keep everyone on site safe. In some cases, this means switching to electronic systems to avoid unnecessary contact. In an effort to provide technical support to any site across Australia efficiently Aptella created Tokara Link, an Australian-designed remote access telematics solution. The solution is specifically created to improve efficiency and productivity for earthworks and
At Aptella, we make calculating your cut and fill volumes and ratios easier and more cost-effective with our line of innovative drones and drone technology. This new extensive range of drone technology is aimed at making site surveying easier and more cost-effective. By increasing the survey accuracy and utilising the high quality, durable and innovative drone and software programs, large site areas can be surveyed in half the time. By utilising remote flight technology, this cuts the number of boots on the ground required which is generally what increases surveying costs. What was once a 2-3 day job requiring sometimes up to 10 employees or surveyors has now turned into a half-day job needing only the aircraft pilot,
It’s rare for the construction industry to see a truly revolutionary breakthrough in technology. However, you get just that with the Topcon LN series layout navigator. A game-changing fusion of laser and robotic technologies purpose-built for completing construction and BIM layout. Stripping away the complexities often associated with surveying technology, the Topcon LN series is the only 3D layout tool you need for construction set out. Built for interior building infrastructure, foundations and footings, utilities and general layout as well at construction set out, there’s not much the Topcon LN series layout navigator can’t do. The Topcon LN series layout navigator has the familiarity of a laser level with the enhanced accuracy of a robotic survey instrument. There’s
