JPP Surveying’s latest purchase of 2 x Trimble R12i takes our investment in new technology during the year to over £100k.
The R12i’s inbuilt IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) has provided what can only be described as exceptional performance even during the first week’s familiarisation. The IMU continuously determines position & rotation and corrects for any amount of tilt – now instead of having to ensure the levelling bubble is spot on, observations can be determined at the base of the pole inclined at any angle to reach previously in-accessible points. For large area surveys, where typically in excess of 1500 points could be recorded in a day, there are considerable time savings not having to methodically maintain verticality of the pole.
Our surveyors are having to adopt a different mindset to conventional surveying practice given the game changing increases in productivity provided by the R12i.
