Making the workload less challenging

Workload got you feeling bogged down? Here are three quick high-level tips to stay productive in a world where demands from field crews are growing with a shortage of skilled surveyors.

1. Leverage a total station built for mobility

Needing to bag lots of shots can sometimes mean needing to move quite a bit across a jobsite, sometimes in challenging terrain and climates. Look for a lightweight and small RTS that considers the limits of the human body.

2. Get better end-results with a receiver built with the problem shots in mind

Awkward shots on steep slopes or out-of-reach spots can be quite annoying. Nowadays, leveraging receiver technology in your workflow can help you measure all the way to a building edge without even needing an offset, or need for stretching to get an out-of-reach point.

3. Connect your workflow with office software like Autodesk

Making your workflow cloud-connected helps you form a tighter connection between the field and office with file compatibility prone to less friction. Surveyors are in total sync with the office crew, so no one is 'left out of the mix' on a project.
