Why Monitoring is a Surveyor's Service
Asset monitoring is already becoming standard in urban construction and will become routine as cities continue to get more dense and build upwards. Are you capturing your share of this growing market?
“Surveyors are already experts in optical and GNSS measurements, and these are the two most commonly used sensors in asset monitoring. Surveyors are also good at analyzing measurement data and preparing reports … and that’s asset monitoring, in a nutshell.”

When to Use GNSS Monitoring >
If asset monitoring is part of your firm’s business plan, don’t automatically assume that total station monitoring is the way to go. In many cases, monitoring networks that include, or are wholly composed of, GNSS receivers are the most appropriate and most cost-effective solution.
“Where just a few points need to be monitored, as on a dam, GNSS receivers can be the better choice because they work in all weather (total station monitoring can be shut down by fog, rain, or snow), they don’t require long lines of sight to ground-based control, and they update 3D position continually without needing to reference other earthbound points.” READ MORE >
