Reestablish grade stakes for GC work..
Reestablish grade stakes for GC work..
(OP)
Time after time on site the stake out/ grade stakes get knocked over or worse totally destroyed, most times calling the surveyor back works just fine. However his schedule do not always cooincide with site operations. For such events i am consinering buying a "used " topcon or similar total station to do this work myself, my question is does anybody have a favourite model for this type of work. I have been looking online and am totally amazed by the type and complexity of the equipment out there. What about a Topcon GT303 or Leica TC805, too much or too little gun.?.
Any response greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Sorry - not much help in finding a gun. Been a while since I was in that business and the firm had great surveyors who did all that research for those purchases. Big $$ in buying and long term owning one of those machines. Not sure how much I would trust a "rental" though - would worry about calibration. Around here there probably isn't anywhere to rent such a thing either.

in my experence, all hire instrement come with a dated calibration cirtificate

A Topcon 303 should work fine for what you're doing.

I like the idea of $100 fine.
