  • Setup your total station in front of the structure that you wont to check verticality (column, wall ...). choose an uniformed part shoot the Horizontal distance (direct reflectoress) at the top, and at the bottom the difference is the North-south tilt . for the est-west tilt just choose an uniformed part also target the top edge and go down, your helper past an horizontal rule graduated and red the difference between the edge and the vertical cross hairs.

    For each measurement you take the elevation (Z) so you can calculate the tilt of the total length in light of the tilt of a part length( ie: for a part 3 m high we have 5 mm tilt then for 5.5 m total length the tilt will 5.5*5/3=9.16 mm).

  • Why not ensure your total station machine is properly setup and levelled, then target one of the edges of the structure, the way i see it a properly levelled structure should be in line with the vertical cross hairs ???? or am i oversimplifying things
