SiteMaster Elevation – surveying to precise exterior views
Save Time and Money – Now you can produce Elevational Drawings from Photographs
Photographic Facade Survey
SiteMaster Elevation is an independent add-on for SiteMaster. You can benefit from photogrammetric procedures by determining detailed measurements from freehand digital photographs or scanned images.
SiteMaster Elevation requires only one rectangle with two known side lengths for calibrating an image plan. The software lets you measure and draw a building in 2D with added height information on floors, openings etc.

The Leica Disto Tripod TR100 has been design for the Leica Distos D3, D3aBT, D5, D8, models.
When measuring with the Leica Disto over long distances or with the Pythagoras function (roofers, cladding and solar panel installers) the user is recommended to use a tripod to achieve the maximum measuring accuracy.
The design of the tripod provides a solid design with stiffened robust legs, tilting head and crank drive to raise or lower the tripods telescope column
A Heavy Duty Manhole Lifter is now available. Strong and lightweight, these manhole cover lifters are a simple means of removing most types of drain cover. The manhole cover lifter comprises four different key head designs to locate into most cover keyholes.
XPAL Power integrates a minimum 12 safety logics into every cell for maximum protection of the battery, device and user. In addition, XPAL utilizes a mathematical circuit control unit with built-in proprietary software to control and regulate temperature, voltage and current.
XPAL Power exclusively uses lithium polymer battery cell technology. Most importantly, lithium polymer is more stable than lithium ion and is non-flammable. In addition it is form-fitting and lighter, whereby it can take on almost any shape or size.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) has welcomed the draft National Planning Policy Framework released by the government, noting that it could assist the UK in stimulating economic growth.
Rics argued the current system has failed to provide the homes and infrastructure required in the country, which has also reduced employment prospects.
However, the group claimed the new draft legislation “strikes the right balance in safeguarding the environment and promoting strong, vibrant and healthy communities”.
The organisation stated that the framework will provide “clarity and certainty” to employers and businesses, recognising that the English countryside must be safeguarded while enabling construction projects and “delivering sustainable growth”.
Bringing economic stimulus to the nation is “in everyone’s interest”, Rics continued.
The Department for Communities and Local Government stated it intends to create a planning system that is “less complex and more accessible” and has set up a public consultation on its proposals, which will close on October 17th.
Photogrammetry
The well known Mobile Surveying Solution provider and Measured Survey experts are now offering quite a unique service with their new Photogrammetry Service and Photogrammetry Surveys.
Photogrammetry is the practice of obtaining information about physical objects through the process of recording, measuring, and interpreting photographic images. It is most commonly associated with the production of topographic maps through aerial survey, although in recent years it has been increasingly used in such diverse applications as architecture, archaeology, engineering, geology, underwater, and forensic work amongst others. In fact it may be used any situation that requires the generation of accurate three-dimensional data or precise drawings, and is ideally suited to the survey and measurement of buildings and monuments. in any situation that requires the generation of accurate three-dimensional data or precise drawings, and is ideally suited to the survey and measurement of buildings and monuments.

We are told that Mobile CAD Surveying have put together the first kit to facilitate the surveying of solar panels, roofing membranes and coverings and that can also be used in many other situations or allied trades, ie aerial contractors, forestry consultants and more.
Incorporating the latest surveying equipment, the Leica Disto D8, Leica Disto TR100 Rise and Fall tripod and the brand new TA360 bracket that allows you to swivel the laser measure in both axis, and offered at a discount too, than if you bought the items separately.
