Our People
J&R Surveys Ltd. people are highly trained professionals who are using one man robotic total stations and GPS systems to perform their jobs. By using high end technology, our people are able to complete tasks faster and with a higher rate of precision than the traditional two-man crew.
The key to our success has been the constant focus on devoted and talented people. Continuous training and eagerness to grasp the new technology on the field and in the office is a daily story for our people. We are constantly growing together and are very proud to continue supporting our team of professionals within and out of the company.
Our Equipment
J&R Surveys Ltd uses Leica Robotic Total Stations and Leica GPS units. The total stations are 1 second instruments with a possible distance error of 0-3 mm over 200 m. For precise traversing this error is eliminated by using multiple face correction. Each total station follows a specific calibration schedule that incorporates a variation in temperature and time between calibrations to compensate.
