Title

Archaeological Survey Equipment

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

This is a refresh of survey equipment to place our field archaeology research capacity at the forefront of rapidly developing digital techniques including robotic totals stations and survey grade GNSS positioning. Archaeological fieldwork is the cornerstone of research in the discipline and requires systematic geospatial surveying. Advances in technology mean that this refresh in equipment is necessary so that we are at the cutting edge of industry practice and remain competitive. Currently, we have outdated survey equipment to conduct in-field Archaeological research and training. We require a refresh of field survey equipment to bring us in line with current and best practices in the Archaeology profession.

The survey equipment must be suitable for all weather fieldwork in the UK in urban and rural environments.

To complete the refresh, we require an archaeological equipment pack including the following –

Item no. Requirement Quantity

1 Archaeological Equipment Pack –

• 1 x Leica TS16 Package One-man robotic total station running captivate on instrument & controller.

• 1 x Traverse kit for robotic total station (2x prism stations with tripods).
