Tool Wrote:Some companies are looking to embrace the technology, where hand planning as a rarity unless there is something of particular complexity or detail. Everything else is GPSd.
I would need a very tight specification defining the threshold at which features become so common that they can be planned using GPS.
I would also need to see some very clear definition from the contractor about how they establish and maintain the accuracy of their GPS surveys, by which I mean not just a sentence saying 'we use the Cyberdyne Robo Planner which is accurate to the nth milimetre' but the processes they use to record and guarantee accuracy on site on a day to day basis. I'd also need some convincing that someone using a wobbly pole with either GPS or a TST is compably as accurate as someone with a planing frame, plumb-bob and pencil.
