Features Benefits

Remote, non-contact measurements in three axes

Automatic resection of coordinates assists in errorcorrection and improves accuracy

Common points do not need to be fixed, enabling network adjustment throughout the zone of influence

Targets easy to install and cause minimal disturbance to structures

Wide variety of podiums, hanging brackets and targets with suitable site specific protection

Complete system software suite for acquiring, viewing and presenting data

Fully automated system for 24 hour monitoring

Highly accurate, ideal for long-term use

Floating points allow true movement of RTS to be accurately determined

Cost effective; many targets can be installed during short engineering hours and hundreds can be incorporated into a system

Podiums and brackets provide improved line of site, security and weather protection

Proven track record worldwide

Description

The Robotic Total Station (RTS) System is designed to remotely monitor X, Y and Z movement in or around a variety of structures.

Our system uses a variety of Robotic Total Stations paired with any compatible target types, one or more Dataloggers and our unique RTS control software.

The data is fully automated and is best incorporated into ‘ARGUS’ Monitoring Software to provide a fully remote contactless solution.

Soil Instruments design and manufacture a wide variety of RTS podiums and hanging brackets with various levels of security and weather protection to suit site specific environments, plus a numerous range of targets, including heavy duty and low profile vandal and damage proof prisms, rail track clips and 360° prisms.

With all these unique features, itmsoil provide a fully automated, robust and durable data acquisition system, tailored to meet your individual site requirements.

ApplicationsOperation

Robotic Total Station Systems are ideal for any project where remote monitoring of X, Y and Z coordinates are required.

They are particularly suited to structural monitoring including:

• Buildings likely to be affected by large civil works• Underground tunnel monitoring and bridge monitoring• RTS’s can be used on façades that need to be protected,

such as historic or architecturally important buildings, with little to no damage caused to the structure

Applications of the Soil Instruments RTS Systems are almost limitless.

The Robotic Total Station (RTS) is connected to a datalogger and both are securely attached to a structure; its associated targets are attached to the same structure or surrounding structures. A site specific program is installed on the datalogger and all necessary set up is performed.

The prisms are located so there is no interference when reading. Ideally at least three reference prisms must be available outside the zone of influence.

The data is downloaded to the datalogger and most commonly uploaded directly to ‘ARGUS’ Monitoring Software.

We offer installation and monitoring services to support this system. For more information please email : info@soil.co.uk or call : +44 (0) 1825 765044

ADDITIONAL SUPPORT
