Some Examples how the RTK-IMU tilt-compensation of the CHCNAV GNSS receivers is SO useful & practical. This enables efficient, accurate measurement of (previously) challenging assets.
Using i73 with tilt
Surveying Cadastral boundaries
Cadastral boundary pegs are easy to survey in new greenfield subdivisions, but brownfield redevelopment projects in older established environs present many surveying "obstacles". Corner boundary peg, right against brick gate pillar and under a tree. CHCNAV i73 mounted on pole, stake directly onto peg and tilted slightly away from pillar and from tree. PDOP, HDOP & VDOP all < 1; Excellent position RMS (EN 13mm, Z 21mm)
Using i73 with tilt
Measuring drain asset for GIS (including drain depth)
Modern road water drains are now purposely designed to minimise access by children - which presents a challenge for depth measurement. No problem with CHCNAV i73; simply tilt, lower, measure; DONE! Efficient, accurate, easy.
Using i73 with tilt
Recording high-rise building corner
High-rise developments are rapidly increasing. The height and density of such buildings means reduced "visibility" to the GNSS sky - hence possibly reduced measurement accuracy. Maybe for other GNSS systems, but not for the CHCNAV i73! With RTK-IMU tilt; plus full GNSS constellation support (824 signal channels); advanced RTK engine; Adaptive anti-interference & multipath mitigation = Fast, Accurate, Reliable
Using i73 with tilt
Promptly validate concrete slab dimensions
No need to waste time concentrating on the bubble! Promptly move the pole to every corner and press "Enter". Validate the whole slab pour dimensions within 1-2 minutes. mm to cm accuracy thanks to CHCNAV advanced RTK algorithm.
Use CORS RTK or for even higher accuracy, set up your own RTK Base station.
How does "full constellation & advanced rtk engine" help me?
Fortuitously, Australia's geographical location provides us with excellent and massive GNSS constellation coverage....if you have the right GNSS receiver!
CHCNAV GNSS receivers have over 1600 signals to track ALL the GNSS constellations and orbits. Together with an Advanced RTK Engine, plus Adaptive Anti-Interference & Multipath Mitigation capabilities = reliable and stable precision measurement, even under tree canopy!
EFIX Receivers Track ALL the GNSS channels
Measuring Landgate WA GNSS pillar under tree canopy
Landgate WA has an official GNSS test network at Curtin University, with published guidelines and accurate coordinates of each of the 6 GNSS concrete pillars (download Publication GSU-10 here). The document states "Please note that due to tree cover, PILLAR 17 is now unsuitable for GNSS occupation"
EFIX Receivers Track ALL the GNSS channels
Vivid example demonstrating EFIX GNSS receiver advanced technology
An CHCNAV GNSS receiver was mounted on Pillar 17 and survey measurements were recorded using CORS RTK. Even with the close-proximity trees, 27 GNSS satellites were tracked for the positioning with PDOP (0.77) HDOP (0.44) and VDOP (0.64). Position coordinates (in GDA2020) compared to Landgate published coordinates were (as delta diff) E = -0.011, N = 0.008 and Ht = 0.033
