This is a scheduled purchase for FY21 to add to the Division of Public Works
Engineering equipment pool. This robotic station enables the City Surveyor to
independently complete field survey and to process the collected data to generate
survey plans. Survey is vitally important for determining existing conditions and
grades to support design, confirming constructed work is in conformance with
design plans, and im determining the location of existing rights-of-way,
easements, and property boundaries.
The Leica Viva TS16 Total Station has been selected as the preferred equipment
for compatibility with existing equipment. The TS16 is has improved precision
with faster target acquisition and additional automated tracking options. This
model includes robotic communications via long range Bluetooth. The new total
station will replace the existing 2009 robotic total station as front line equipment.
The existing total station will be retained as backup equipment for use when front
line equipment is being calibrated or serviced.
