Total Station Navigation
Optional method for precise navigation of the drill rig in a tunnel.
Total Station
Navigation is one of the most time-consuming and error prone activities in the tunnelling cycle. By automating this process that set-up of the drill rig can be done by the drill rig operator alone. The tunnelling cycle does not have to wait for the surveyor to come out and deploy the drill rig. With the Total Station Navigation the effectiveness of the tunneling cycle will improve, as will the quality of the navigation.
