Setting out and Surveying With Total Station - Training Course

Learn how to  quickly set up the total station, how to station and orient to a direction and backsight point, set out lines and levels for buildings, kerbs, manholes, gullies. Use Free-stationing to avoid obstacles when setting out, calculate areas and volumes, and more.  Attend Hitechniques Total Station Training Course and be more confident on the site.

NOTE: Although the training course is carried on Geomax total stations with Microsurvey FieldGenius and Geomax X-Pad software, the class gives you firm base for using total station of all different brands.
