Maybe you can’t justify buying construction or survey equipment because of infrequent use or a project has cropped up which requires a specialised instrument. Here’s why you should consider equipment hire for your next job.

In the survey and construction context, combining IMU with GNSS enables new features for smart antennas, including calibration-free measurement with a tilted pole and insensitivity to electromagnetic fields.

You’ll notice that most construction equipment such as laser levels, laser tapes and total stations have an IP rating, but what does that actually mean? This IP Ratings Chart explains how the ratings work.

Have you ever seen a good deal on parallel imported construction equipment and thought it looks the same but costs less? “Where’s the catch?”. Here are the top 6 reasons you should always buy from an authorised dealer.
