The control points, as illustrated below, my be required during a site survey. The system uses the control points to enable the movement of the survey instrument, automatically registering the setups as you go, culminating in a single survey file which includes all of the setups combined. The Quality Assurance (QA) report will demonstrate the quality and accuracy of the setup registration. The move function determines whether the setups are valid and fit together in real time while you work.

Site (In-Situ) Pipe Spool Survey
Capturing as-built spool geometry, instrument moves, and field control points in automet® FAB.

Overview

A site survey determines the precise spatial geometry and specification of an installed pipe spool, existing tie-in connections, and adjacent structural clearance points.

Instrument Relocation and Control Points

When surveying complex or extended pipework, multiple instrument setups may be required.

  • Automated setup registration: Control points allow the total station to be relocated around the work area while automatically registering each setup into a single, unified survey dataset.
  • Real-time validation: The **move function** verifies whether relative setup positions are valid and mathematically consistent in real time as you capture observations.
  • Quality assurance: Alignment accuracy between instrument setups is calculated and documented within the generated quality assurance (QA) report.
