The Topcon CR-H1 is a handheld LiDAR mapping tool designed for fast, accurate reality capture on construction and utilities sites. It offers a simple way to collect 3D data without the complexity, cost, or training overhead of a full terrestrial laser scanner. Built for surveyors, utilities engineers, groundworkers and digital-as-built teams, the CR-H1 fills…

Machine control used to be a specialist tool reserved for major highways projects and large civil engineering contractors. Today, it’s rapidly becoming a standard part of UK construction — on housing sites, earthworks projects, infrastructure schemes, drainage packages, and even smaller groundworks jobs. But there is still a lot of confusion about what machine control…

The Spectra LL300N is one of the most widely used construction lasers on sites — and for good reason. It’s built to survive rough groundworks environments, offers consistent accuracy, and is simple enough that any crew member can operate it confidently. But like any laser, it has specific strengths and limitations. This spotlight breaks…

Laser levels are some of the simplest and most reliable tools on a construction site, yet they are also among the most commonly misused, knocked, and poorly stored instruments. Because they’re so easy to operate, many engineers assume that if the laser switches on and spins, it must be accurate. Unfortunately, that is not…

Choosing the right GNSS setup is one of the most common challenges for site engineers, surveyors and contractors. You hear the terms rover, base and rover, network corrections, RTK, PPK — and you’re expected to know which combination is right for the job, the accuracy required, and the conditions you’re working in. A simple…
