We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We inform you that our company will be closed from December 24th to January 3rd.

Achieve maximum efficiency with Aplitop TcpGPS + TcpMDT complete solution. The data measured in the field is shared in the cloud so that the points, lines and digital model are automatically drawn in the office, including the photos and voice notes. In addition, all designs created in the office can be transferred to the field directly in DWG, LandXML and other standard formats for stakeout works.

Official press release ZWSOFT

Málaga, Spain. Aug. 4, 2020- Aplitop announced today a collaboration with Spectra Geospatial, an established brand known for delivering quality products to the survey, GIS and construction markets, to provide a comprehensive tunnel survey solution to increase productivity for survey service providers.  

This collaboration provides surveyors and geospatial professionals with a complete hardware and software solution for performing efficient tunnel construction surveys. Combining the accuracy and speed of the Spectra® Focus® 35 robotic total station with the simple workflows of Aplitop TcpTUNNEL, running on the ST10 or Ranger 7 data collector, enables tunnel surveyors to perform excavation control, automated survey and stakeout of tunnel cross-sections. In the office, data and designs can be transferred seamlessly between TcpTUNNEL CAD, a plug-in for several CAD platforms, and TcpTUNNEL field software.

The Spectra Geospatial and Aplitop solution provides a full featured workflow for tunnel constructions surveys including:

– Definition of the project design elements such as alignments and templates that can be easily transferred between the field and office 

– Efficient tunnel drill and blast setout as well as reporting on the difference to design positions

– Automated data collection for the quality control of tunnel excavation process using cutting-edge tracking mode

– Accurate stake out of key design features and anchor bolts along tunnel alignment

– Graphical reporting of the differences between design and survey data to calculate over and underbreak volumes and areas to ensure design conformity

“We are excited to partner with Spectra Geospatial to introduce a solution for tunnel construction professionals,” said Francisco Navarrete, general manager of Aplitop. “This combined solution enables professionals to leverage the speed and accuracy of Spectra Geospatial total stations with the simplicity of the TcpTUNNEL portfolio.”

“Collaborating with Aplitop enables Spectra Geospatial to provide customers with a world-class tunneling solution to increase productivity working in underground environments,” said Olivier Casabianca, vice president of Spectra Geospatial. ”The combination improves the tunnel construction process by providing customers with increased confidence in the field and streamlining final deliverable creation in the office.”
