Surveyor using a Total Station

High-Precision Surveying with Total Stations

Delivering millimeter-level accuracy for your most demanding construction and engineering projects.

What is a Total Station?

A Total Station is a modern surveying instrument that integrates an electronic theodolite for measuring angles with an electronic distance meter (EDM). It is a fundamental tool for surveyors to collect the precise data needed for mapping, construction stakeout, and boundary definition. By measuring angles and distances from a known point, it can accurately determine the coordinates of any other point.

Key Features & Advantages

Millimeter-Level Precision

Total Stations are ideal for detailed measurements where the highest level of accuracy is non-negotiable.

Angle and Distance Measurement

They simultaneously measure both angles and distances to calculate precise coordinates from a fixed position.

Reliable in Obstructed Areas

Unlike GNSS, Total Stations excel in areas where satellite signals are blocked, such as dense urban centers or indoors.

Optimal Applications

Construction Set-Outs

Perfect for accurately marking building corners, road alignments, and other critical construction elements.

Boundary Surveys

The high precision of Total Stations makes them the go-to tool for definitive boundary surveys.

Topographic Surveys

Excellent for detailed mapping of smaller or obstructed areas where precision is paramount.

Structural Monitoring

Used to monitor the movement and deformation of structures like buildings and bridges over time.

How HR Surveyors Utilizes Total Stations

At HR Surveyors, we leverage the strengths of Total Station technology to ensure optimal results for every project. We adapt to challenging site conditions—whether it's an obstructed urban environment or a project that demands the highest precision.

1. Precision for Construction Setouts

For construction setouts in housing estates, we rely on Total Stations to achieve millimeter-level precision when marking building corners or road alignments.

2. Accuracy in Detailed Mapping

When a project requires detailed topographic mapping in confined spaces, the Total Station is our instrument of choice to capture every detail accurately.
