Hi. Would you like to tell where from download the same total station program on pc like you showing on your video please.

[@SITENG]

I found it on some old opical website I think, they are G2 survey now, bit you have to look online. I am working now on getting available on my page, but we’ll see 🤞

[@jerometab0709]

Hi Greg. What's the ideal laser plum intensity of a ts 16? Or you have no need to adjust it when you receive your EDM from the supplier? Thanks.

[@SITENG]

Hi Jerome! Whatever you need really if you’re using it. It will be default set, yeah. Are you using it, or do you mean EDM laser?

[@jerometab0709]

Okay Greg thanks. What I mean is the Laser Plum. Intensity shown on the screen when you bubble level the instrument.

Sir, In some of TS-16 having auto measure Height of Instrument option. For that, we want to install that option separately?

[@SITENG]

Might be an extra app, I am not sure as I don’t use this option

[@jayganesh7167]

@@SITENG yes sir. That is an extra app, but we want to pay extra to get that.

[@SITENG]

@@jayganesh7167 I'll have a look what the app has to offer, but once I have targets with heights that all I need, unless there is some really cool stuff about the app

[@jayganesh7167]

ok, yeah if it saves time then is definitely worth it. All the best!

Hi, I am a looking to learn the total station so pls suggest which institution i should go for around Birmingham. I am a graduate from Wolverhampton University but i went to india after course and now i am back here so looking to learn total station which is like a prerequisites here for site engineer job. Pls help.

[@SITENG]

not sure about Birmingham area, watch my YT vids. Look for some CITB courses so you can get a gold, or white CSCS card later

[@manikantag1694]

hi brother I am manikanta good with great content I am from India I want to learn to buy this TS 16 what is the price and is there any learning courses about Leica Total station and surveying universities

[@SITENG]

Hi Manikanta! Thanks! There are some courses, but can't really recommend as I didn't do any of them :) There are unis as well offering surveying degrees, but unfortunately I don't really know too much about it. Wish you all the best and hope you'll find what you're looking for!

[@DeividasJursa]

Hello Greg. I'm currently a ground worker with some op tickets. Do you need any degree to become an Engineer or experience with CSCS card enough? Thanks!

[@SITENG]

It's enough, there is always some struggle to find first engineering job, but once you start you'll be good!!

[@robertlacey6050]

Hi. I have a question. I am a engineer from British army with degree in survey engineering, know how to use kit and have done construction jobs in army for last 15 years. I am now a manager with project management qualification and also degree in construction. Would I find site engineering job OK. Also I want to live in Lithuania and only work in UK for one project a year like 4 or 5 months. Would it be likely I could work weekends as well while I am over

[@SITENG]

It's possible, but you will have to contact agencies etc. I was thinking of doing the same TBH. Probably that would be a setting out engineer/site engineer roles but it's doable. Senior roles are for longer. Most of companies (frames) are busy in the season and they're often need extra engineers, but you would have to look for work yourself anyway. You can try JRL for start as I know many army people got a opportunity there - you don't have to tell them straightaway you look only for few months 😁

[@mohammedabdo8222]

Hello Sir , What Lenses do you recommend to purchase for the Leica TS16 For Far Targets ? As I Have an Issue doing an As Built on Precast Elmids Due to Hight of imbeds , its difficult to get an accurate pebbles at the pole and get a good shot .. Recommendations Please

[@SITENG]

Hi, I am afraid I can't help you with this much

[@19rastogi]

Hi Greg, is this possible for you to give link to download the simulator for TS16. Please if you can . Thanks

[@SITENG]

Hi, unfortunately the page is not working anymore, I am lucky to have these from before. Tried also to copy this to my friend, but didn't work

[@farukabdullahkhatana1332]

Hi fantastic channel real appreciate the information you providing. When doing a resection using retro targets is it better do I select the option of measure any surface?

[@SITENG]

It's not better, but you can use it. I always try to use a retro target mode as this actually makes sure you shoot the targets right (if something will be on the way a bit, or the angle is bad retro mode won't give you the reading), but of course I use 'any surface' mode often myself as the targets are far etc (any surface and retro tape is the same constant)

Hello

[@NTaRsAn1106]

If u can please explain about DTM

Can't promise any soon, sorry, but I will definitely

[@cleytoncabral8616]

Another fantastic and helpful video. Thank you! Where did you get this simulator from?

[@SITENG]

Thanks! Simulator comes from SCCS website and I think you can get it again now. I downloaded it long time ago and then couldn't find it. This weekend I'll go through the net again and if found will add it to the description :)

I hold a master degree in construction management from Coventry University, what is my opportunity to hat a office job

[@SITENG]

There are loads of office job, so not sure what do you mean by that. You have to look for assistant PM jobs maybe if you want to spend more time in the office.

[@ghanimqasim]

@@SITENG Yeah I am looking for spending more Time in office or company main office than site. So what softwares should I know.?

[@SITENG]

Depends what job you want to do really. If it's engineering, definitely AutoCAD, maybe Navisworks, A-site or 4 project etc and micrososft package always whatever you will be doing. If it's management you might need to know some soft to create and edit job programmes etc
