• Levels

  When looking into surveying equipment for hire, dumpy levels are the most important aspects to consider. Dumpy levels are generally used to measure the angle of a fixed point on a rod positioned somewhere else relative to the position of the dumpy level. You will need to choose between automatic levels and basic hand levels depending on your requirements and budgetary constraints.

• Tripods

  To ensure more accurate results, you will need to attach your surveying levels onto tripods. Tripods allow for steadier, more precise measuring.

• Hand Tools

  You’ll need to make use of basic hand tools in conjunction with your surveying equipment dumpy levels and tripods. The essential hand tools include ropes, axes, saws, picks and measuring tape. They will generally be used for clearing sight lines between dumpy levels and rods. For example, the saw may be used to get rid of branches or plants that are growing in the way.

• Charts & Tables

  It is essential that you keep detailed records for the benefit of your client. Charts and tables should always include maps and site outlines. You might want to invest in blank table templates, which allow for simpler, more effortless data entry.
