As the construction industry becomes more digital, there is a requirement to be more efficient in construction layout to complete projects on time and under budget.

The new Leica iCON iCB manual construction total stations aid this shift to digitalisation, allowing field crews to work directly with digital design data, layout complex structures with improved accuracy to minimise failures and optimise costs.

The recent release of the new Leica iCON iCB50 & iCB70 Manual Total Stations further expands the range of Leica iCON solutions designed specifically for construction.

The Leica iCON iCB50 and iCB70 are simple to use, highly reliable total stations operated manually by two persons. With minimal training, the existing workforce will be able to digitally layout complex structures with improved accuracy, while minimising delays and increasing efficiency.

One of the key benefits of the iCON range is that the software is consistent across the entire suite of products no matter which iCON hardware you use. This means that construction teams can operate any number of instruments from the same interface. Less time training on multiple systems, more time in the field.

Featuring an integrated 4G modem, the Leica iCON iCB70 lets you transfer construction data between design office and the instrument on site for even higher efficiency.

Here’s a handy comparison chart to show how these two new models fit into the Leica iCON total station range.
