Ready to move from tape and string line to a faster digital layout workflow?

In this video, Ray walks through how to stake a point with a robotic total station, including what equipment you need, why file type matters, and how TRK mode helps your total station follow you in the field.

RTK vs. total station: which one should you actually use in the field?

We put both systems to the test and compared the results. As expected, the total station delivered tighter precision, but RTK proved why it is often faster and more flexible on larger job sites where line of sight can be a problem.

Choosing the right tool depends on your tolerance, site conditions, and workflow.

In this video, we walk through how to perform a point pair localization in the field using GNSS local transformation and MicroSurvey Software Inc. FieldGenius. From selecting your known local control point to measuring GNSS control with 30 observations, this is a practical workflow for getting your project set up correctly.

Whether you are laying out the corners of a custom house, positioning a tent, or marking cut/fills for an excavation crew, RTK GPS can make the job much easier.

With the right receiver, you can get an RTK fix, tie into the site, walk directly to your points, and know exactly where you need to be. On simple layout jobs, this can help save time and reduce costs. On larger cut/fill staking jobs, it can make a major difference in field efficiency.

We had some great comments on our last video, so we wanted to respond.

Do drones make surveying faster? Definitely.
Do they replace the full job of a surveyor? Not quite.

Drones are great tools, but they only capture part of what’s needed. There’s still a lot of skill involved in control, layout, accuracy, and understanding what’s actually happening on site.

And when it comes to pay, yes, starting out can be rough. But if you learn GPS, total stations, and construction layout, there is a real path to making serious money in this industry.

This crew had 10 machines across the city, each costing $3,000 a year to stay on the network.

The issue was that the network wasn’t always reliable. When it went down or tolerances shifted, it meant lost time and lost money.

Stormcaster gave them a way to set up their own base on site and connect machines and rovers to one local GPS network using a receiver like the Hemisphere S631.
