The Topcon GTS-250 Total Station has a single-prism range of 6,560 ft. The total station is available in 2-second and 5-second models that have dual-axis compensation as a standard feature. Both come with Topcon's standard onboard software and storage for 24,000 points of data. For more complex projects, the GTS-250 is compatible with field controllers running Topcon MAGNET software. The case is IP-54 rated for water and dust resistance. It comes with an optical plummet, battery charger and two displays.

The Hilti PS 1000 X-Scan Radar Detection System and the PS 250 Ferroscan System can be used as self-contained concrete inspection tools. The PS 250 Ferroscan can locate rebar in concrete at depths up to 6 in., depending on the size of the rebar. The Ferroscan comes with a color display and a portable monitor unit. The unit's durable, rubber-coated housing is water- and dust-resistant. The PS 1000 X-Scan Radar Detection System is able to produce images of rebar within concrete structures. The updated PS 1000 X-Scan now includes an EM sensor, allowing it to detect live electrical cables buried up to 3 in. in concrete.

The Boltec S is an underground rock-bolting rig for work in small and medium-sized tunnels and drifts. The bolting rig is fully mechanized, allowing it to be operated from the control console. Two multifunctional levers on the console control the entire operation, from drilling to bolting. The Boltec S can operate in drifts as low as 9 ft and as high as 24 ft. The rig is also compatible with the new Atlas Copco COP 1435 rock drill.
