Survey instrument training
Hands-on training in total station, GNSS RTK and level operation, field software and data transfer to AutoCAD/Credo — in the office and on site.
Modern survey instruments offer many functions, but using them efficiently takes practical know-how. We run training for companies that have bought a new total station or GNSS RTK kit, junior surveyors, and site engineers and technical staff who take measurements on construction projects.
The programme is tailored to the participants and the equipment they use. Core topics include set-up and centring, station orientation and resection, topographic surveying, setting-out of points and axes, height transfer, GNSS RTK base and rover modes, NTRIP connections and site calibration. Daily field checks (i-angle, collimation) and instrument care are covered as well.
The office part covers field software such as SurvStar and Landstar, downloading data from the controller, format conversion and transfer to AutoCAD, Civil 3D and Credo. The practical part takes place outdoors with real instruments in Baku. For customers buying SOUTH equipment, an introductory session is part of the handover; training on other brands is also available.
