Total Station

A total station is a surveying instrument that is used to measure angles, distances, and elevations with high accuracy. It is a combination of an electronic distance meter (EDM), an electronic theodolite, and a microprocessor that stores and calculates data. Total stations are commonly used in construction, civil engineering, and land surveying to provide accurate measurements for site preparation, layout, and excavation. They consist of a telescope mounted on a tripod, with electronic components that allow the user to input data and receive measurements in real-time. Total stations have revolutionized the field of surveying, providing quick and accurate measurements that greatly improve efficiency and productivity.
