A total station typically sits on a tripod and is used to measure and capture the layout of a site. It allows a one-person layout, and once it is connected to a laptop, any point can be triangulated. Once the construction drawing is uploaded into the laptop, we can identify any point on the construction site. This is done to lay out the corners of your building and locate anchor bolts. It can be used internally to find any point such as the placement of ductwork, the placement of a plumbing pipe, a drain, or just about anything on a construction site.
