“Without the Cyrax system enabling us to extract data under controlled office conditions we would not have been able to provide results to the timetable required. Also, collecting and labeling data in the field on a discrete point basis is very prone to error and increases time spent in a dangerous environment. Errors in discrete points are difficult to trap and will inevitably mean a revisit to site. With the Cyrax system all data could be fully QA’d by over sampling without time penalties and all processing was done off-site.”

There is some hard work going on in Vancouver, the Canadian Pacific metropolis. Two LEICA TCA2003 total stations with automatic target seeking operate up to twenty hours daily along the route of a new stretch of
SkyTrain track. “The beauty of the Leica Geosystems automatic target recognition instrument is that we can also work nights“, says Don Murray. mere

A Leica TCA 1800 automatic target recognizing precision total station, controlled by the Leica APS Win Software, was in use when a bridge was moved by 23 metres below the Inter City Express main rail axis Mannheim-Frankfurt. This work on the Mannheim- Blumenau railway line was carried out by the Mannheim office of Bilfinger + Berger Bauaktiengesellschaft.
The surveyor responsible for the measured control of the undertaking H. P. Echsle, describes this operation for our readers. mere
