Total stations are known for their accuracy and ability to save teams time and money. From mining and meteorology to forensic investigations and BIM, there are numerous industries putting this technology to work. Some of the functions of a total station are listed below.
Topographic surveys
Land and title surveys
Roadway and corridor surveys
Design surveys
Infrastructure surveys
Volumetric surveys to measure stockpile volumes
Power line inspections
Utility design surveys
Crash scene investigations
Crime scene investigations
Mine and quarry surveys
Tank calibration or inspection
Total stations are also used widely and in numerous fields including
construction, civil engineering and surveying. While they too use scanners,
total stations are optical instruments that measure horizontal and vertical
angles as well as distance by analyzing the slope between a specific point and
itself.
