Capable assistant

Central Darling County is the largest and least populous region in New South Wales, Australia. It has a vast network of convenient roads. To make the local transportation network more complete, a series of road projects need to be carried out. Reece Wilson, the service director of the Central Darling Shire Council in Australia, purchased the TOPCON automatic marking robot TinySurveyor after a series of market research for related engineering projects. This includes an engineering project that was initially prepared to close the road for construction.

TinySurveyor is very convenient to apply to road engineering projects. When the road is not closed, the robot can usually complete the water line marking work for a section of 5 to 10 kilometers at one time, and then perform hot-melt permanent marking according to the water line.

Be brave to try

Mr. Wilson did a lot of research before purchasing the TOPCON automatic marking robot. Mr. Wilson said, "TinySurveyor has met all my expectations for this machine." We currently use it for three things: marking the center line and offset line for road engineering; Mark on our oval sports field; And mark the runways at the airport. Currently, we still have six makeshift airports that need maintenance and renovation."

Enhance security

One of the notable advantages of TinySurveyor is that it enhances the safety of surveyors during their work.

TinySurveyor not only enhanced the construction accuracy, reduced costs and saved time for Mr. Wilson and his team, but also avoided the traffic risks for team members when marking the lines. Personnel only need to sit in the car and follow remotely, thus greatly improving safety.

Traditional Construction Difficulties and Technological Innovation

At present, there are several problems in the marking construction of airport/highway construction and maintenance road surfaces:

There is a shortage of professional surveyors, and the layout is inaccurate.

There are many places that need to be marked, such as the edge lines, center lines, shoulders and sidewalks of the road, and there are many simple and repetitive tasks.

After the road maintenance is completed, the road marking requires traffic control or even partial closure, which incurs high control costs and poses significant safety risks to on-site personnel.

TOPCON's automatic marking robot TinySurveyor can easily solve the above problems. During construction, you only need to bring the BIM design drawings to the work site and send them to the TinySurveyor automatic marking robot. The robot will drive automatically and draw complex lines such as straight lines, curves, text, and dotted lines on the ground with high precision. As the world's fastest automatic marking robot, it can bring you a safer and more efficient way of working.
