The TinySurveyor was recently used for pre-marking a new runway at Brisbane Airport, Australia. The surveying robot was used to pre-mark 50km (31 miles) of lines which was completed in five days.
The surveyors at the airport used the robot with their own GPS receivers which allowed them to complete all line pre-marking and stake-out well ahead of time. This in turn allowed the line marking crews to start applying the permanent runway markings even sooner.
Safety, productivity, speed and accuracy are all part of why this robot is being used more and more by surveyors for stake-out, pre-marking and other high-precision tasks.
