Total Station. It’s not likely to be the most exciting piece of kit in your toolbox – but as these happy customers attest, your Trimble total station might just be your most faithful survey sidekick.
The name may not set your pulse racing, but when everything else seems so uncertain at the moment, isn’t it reassuring to just have a piece of kit that performs, day in, day out, in all weathers?
“We’ve put our Trimble S7 through a lot, from surveying to scanning to setting out, and it’s always lived up to our expectations even in torrential rain, to put things into a better perspective, we would be broken by the cold and rain but the S7 would still be going!”
Ionut Pascuta, Civil Engineer, Lay of Land

The Reliability you Need – projects large & small
“Our Trimble S5 is used for surveying and setting out on both small and large scale projects. It has yet to let us down yet even in the unpredictable Irish weather”
Gary O’Hare, Mourne Air Surveys
“Robust, reliable and consistent, hail or shine, our Trimble S8 brings the reliability we need for reducing risk for our clients on complex engineering projects”
John McGoey, CEO, ECC Group
Total Security with Locate 2 Protect
As well as delivering robust & reliable performance on the daily, all Trimble S-Series total stations are available with Locate to Protect (L2P) tracking technology – so in the worst case scenario, if your kit is lost or stolen, you can track and locate it, in real time, to aid a speedy recovery – sometimes as fast as 30 minutes.
PBH Surveys utilise their S-Series in all weathers – day & night!
And this month, we’re including L2P cover, alongside a ream of other benefits, for 3 years, when you buy your own Trimble total station from us.
That’s 3 years peace of mind, including no calibration fees, no repair or update costs*, no support costs, and 5% off total station hire costs if you need a replacement unit – until 2023.
We call it, the Peace of Mind package.

In the TSA hosted seminar at this year’s Geo Business show, host Oliver Viney was pleased to report that theft figures were slightly down on last year. However, incidents are still occurring and remaining vigilant and using the tracking/locking technology available – and publicising the use of this technology as a deterrent – remain key to fighting theft in our industry.
Our thanks go to Scott McGrane, Senior site Engineer at McGrane S.E.S Ltd for sharing this latest story of an instrument successfully recovered thanks to Trimble’s L2P (Locate2Protect) tracking technology and for his appreciation of the KOREC team who he says were extremely responsive and helpful.
Scott reports that during a Wednesday night, late in June, site offices where he was working in Cambridge were broken into and a Trimble S5 Total Station stolen along with other construction equipment. When this was discovered first thing on Thursday morning, the Police were informed and Scott called KOREC to see if the instrument could be tracked. By 8.30 am we had already provided Scott with a screen grab and coordinates of the stolen S5, 2.5 hours away at a building site in Birmingham. We were able to inform him when the instrument was later moved to an open location where any confrontation was extremely unlikely. Scott recovered his instrument from a skip a few minutes away from the Birmingham site. He believes that the S5 was sold to an engineer who was then tipped off that the instrument was tracked and consequently dumped.
Happily, the instrument was found to be in full working order with no damage. Police are investigating and the remaining stolen construction equipment has not been located.
Welcome to the first issue in 2018 of our geospatial newsletter, Mensura. Our front page story features an open letter from KOREC Group CEO, Alan Browne, on the worrying problem of instrument theft. This is a topic that we will be revisiting throughout the year so please do keep us updated on any thoughts you have on the subject.
This issue also takes a look at some of the ‘value added’ benefits of being a KOREC customer. Look out for details on Trimble Dimensions and trips to Trimble’s SX10 factory in Stockholm. We’ll be inviting lucky customers as KOREC guests to both events.
Finally, our case study focuses on Enviroflow Management’s digital capture of gully data on behalf of its client, Calderdale Council using KOREC’s K-Mobile data capture and handling software
