Leica HDS6200 Terrestrial Laser Scanner
The HDS6200 is a portable, phase based laser scanner. With a range of approximately 80m the TLS can acquire data at a rate upwards of a million points per second. Initial processing can be undertaken in Leica’s Cyclone software with data able to be exported for a range of other software including ArcGIS and AutoCAD. Built in WLAN allows for operation through a phone, tablet or laptop. |

Sensors and Software pulseEkko PRO Ground Penetrating Radar
The pulseEKKO PRO GPR system allows for imaging of the subsurface across a variety of bandwidths. The three antennas that we have available are 50MHz, 100MHz and 200MHz. The fully bistatic design allows for advanced survey types such transillumination and multi-polarization. As well as the handles there is a SmartCart which the system can be mounted allowing for rapid data collection. |

Agilent 4 Port PNA-X for high accuracy localisation using ultra wideband localisation
Ultra wideband localisation can carry signals through many obstacles that usually reflect signals when the bandwidth is limited. Agilent 4 Port PNA-X is used for the sensing at higher power that makes indoor ranging and localisation more accurate. |

Topcon IS 203 Imaging Station
The Topcon IS 203 is a scanning, robotic, reflectorless imaging station which allows for high, mm level, precision 3D measurements. It combines advanced imaging and high-accuracy surveying, incorporating real-time field imagery with spatial data. The auto tracking feature makes this ideal for one man surveys. |

Audio system
Set of 4 VisioBoxes for audio recording with two or three stereo microphones. |
|
Leica RTK GNSS
Combing the Viva GNSS GS10 base station and GS14 rover the Leica RTK allows for data collection at centimetre accuracy. The system works across the GPS and/or GLONASS satellite constellations. The system is designed to be used in harsh environments and is rated against dust, water and temperatures between -40°C - +65°C. |
