MBS Elevations

Rapid Real-Time Observation of Graphical Data

MBS Elevations

MBS Elevations enables the surveyor to measure elevations and view the elevation graphically as it is being measured making it quick and easy to check accuracy and to ensure that no important information is being missed. Direct communication to a Total Station allows the data to be captured quickly and efficiently.

The process involves the definition of vertical planes upon which intersected rays from the Total Station are projected. The data can be strung and layered interactively with surveyed information displayed in layer colours. The main advantage of this method is that having defined your plane (with two distance points) only horizontal and vertical angles are then required resulting in extremely rapid and accurate observation of even the most intricate detail.

The current plane can be changed by a parallel offset in either direction by measuring one distance – intersections can then be continued on this offset plane.

Data is surveyed, real-time in 3D, allowing flexible export of both 3D and 2D data in DXF format for aesthetic enhancement in all major CAD software packages.

Benefits:

  • High productivity: Quick and efficient to use minimising wasted time on site.
  • Graphical output: Drawing in ‘real-time’ displays the overall elevation and all features on that elevation.

Our measured building software has been written and developed by professional land surveyors; however we are becoming increasingly aware that it is not just the Geomatics community that measure spaces.

Who uses our MBS Elevations package?

    The necessity to collect accurate building measurements is a vital stage in any architectural project requiring any change to an existing building. However there are two major difficulties in collecting the right information:

    1. Getting the survey completed in a timely and cost effective manner by using external organisations.
    2. Specifying exactly what information needs to be measured and to what accuracy.

    With MBS Software you can take control of the survey yourself and ensure that your needs are exactly met.

    Benefits:

    • Reduce time making complicated sketches and notes on paper.
    • Direct link with total station enables real-time data collection.
    • No secondary ‘drawing-up’ exercise in CAD packages.
    • Avoid costly re-visits to site to collect missing or inaccurate data.
    • Reduce site time as only the necessary measurements are taken.

  • Geomatics Practices  Click to open Geomatics Practices

    Geomatics Practices are often approached by a wide range of clients with the common request to produce an ‘elevation’.

    However the exact requirement of an ‘elevation’ can range from a plan to show the major structural components to a full detailed plan for historical archiving. Using MBS software the Land Surveyor has the ability to see the results in real time on the PC device.

    Benefits:

    • Reduce time making complicated sketches and notes on paper.
    • Direct link with total station enables real-time data collection.
    • No secondary ‘drawing-up’ exercise in CAD packages.
    • Avoid costly re-visits to site to collect missing or inaccurate data.
    • Reduce site time as only the necessary measurements are taken.

    With MBS software it is easy to keep control of the project and ensure that the survey is fit for purpose as defined by your customers. Also you yourself can take control of the survey yourself and ensure that your needs are exactly met.

    Benefits:

    • Reduce time making complicated notes on paper.
    • Direct link with total station enables real-time data collection.
    • No secondary ‘writing-up’ exercise.
    • Avoid costly re-visits to site to collect missing or inaccurate data.
    • Reduce site time as only the necessary measurements are taken.
