WHEN CONDITIONS AREN'T IDEAL
The KM surveyors rely on the Kuwait real-time GNSS
network to perform their survey work. Should buildings
or other features obstruct the horizon and interfere with
GNSS reception, a surveyor will set up the Trimble S5
robotic total station. With a prism and GNSS receiver (KM
uses Trimble R2, R8, and R10 receivers) mounted on a
single pole, simultaneous optical and GNSS measurements
are taken in three different open areas. This establishes
the position of the S5 on the control network through the
resection routine in Trimble Access. A conventional stakeout
of the parcel corners then follows.
When a KM surveyor arrives on site and finds encroachments,
he postpones the parcel stakeout and instead measures
Trimble Access software enables surveyors to combine GNSS and total station data for resection, stakeout and in-field computations. Data can be
shared with RPV for immediate quality checking and validation.
Right: The Kuwaiti surveyors used a Trimble S5 total station for
setting out and checking for encroachments.
Far Right: The Trimble R10 GNSS receiver provides precise GNSS
positioning for property and engineering surveys. It uses the Kuwait
GNSS network with Trimble VRS technology to provide centimeter
accuracy in real time.
