We started looking for a way to speed up the process of set out a couple of years ago and reviewed numerous other products which were available. At the time we were reviewing other systems and our concern was cumbersome and difficult set up. We are not surveyors and needed a system which made it possible to set up, set out and record our works!. We wanted a system which was simple to understand, simple to operate and came with loads of support videos on basic function use.
Our investment in the iCON technology has seen a far more accurate and fast layout process in all aspects of plumbing and drainage. It reduced rework and also provided our clients with the confidence that we got it right the first time.
Being able to set out or stake out pits, pipes and deck penetrations without having to wait for offset pegs or gridlines to be installed, allows Ashmor to get on with the job without delay. The As built feature allows drawings to be updated consistently and reduces clashing of services on site and makes the drawings at the end of a job accurate.
Ashmor had all but made a decision to use an alternative brand but then our management team met with the CR Kennedy Leica team of Bernie and Daniel in Sydney.
Daniel was demonstrating the product and within 10 minutes the Ashmor team were staking out points using the iCON Build field software.
The software layout and intuitive nature on the tablet made the robotic total station a breeze for even the most novice of operators.
The training and support that CR Kennedy offered was fantastic and the accessibility to YouTube videos made Ashmor change to a LEICA ICR70 package in the space of a 30min period.
Fantastic product to work with and great people to partner with at CR Kennedy.
