Gamsby and Mannerow Limited Partners with Can-Net
|
|
|
|
|
Can-Net is a series of GPS base stations which are linked together to provide GPS data streams for precise cm level RTK or post processed positional applications in southwestern Ontario. For real-time applications, the data is delivered over the internet, linked to rover receivers using the cellular wireless technology of 1X and GPRS. For more information on Can-Net, visit www.can-net.ca. This investment is another example of how Gamsby and Mannerow Limited effectively uses technology to meet the needs of our clients and the demands of our projects. |
Gamsby and Mannerow Limited adds a Trimble
|
|
|
|
|
The Trimble R8 GPS receiver, linked to the Can-Net base station network allows Gamsby and Mannerow Limited to work with total station accuracies without having to worry about line of sight. Surveying efficiencies are being rapidly realized by the crews with not having multiple station setups throughout the work day. Gamsby and Mannerow Limited has been using Robotic total stations and AutoLock total stations for a number of years and this GPS investment adds to the effectiveness of our survey equipment and services. This provides our staff with the tools to complete the required tasks safely, accurately and efficiently. |

GPS surveying with the Can-Net network is available from our Guelph and Listowel offices. For additional information or inquires, please contact Steve Conway in our Guelph office. This investment is another example of how Gamsby and Mannerow Limited effectively uses technology to meet the needs of our clients and demands of our projects. |
PROJECT UPDATESMaitland River Retaining Wall
|
|
Work is almost complete on the Maitland River Retaining Wall in Listowel between Inkerman and Elizabeth Streets as the old wall (built in 1958) was demolished and replaced with a new one. A small section of the wall collapsed in the fall of 2006 and an emergency repair was conducted to replace the collapsed section. This year, the Municipality decided to replace the remainder of the wall as a precaution in order to avoid any further problems. The $822,000 project is now completed (less the installation of the light standards which will be installed by the Town and a little landscaping which will be completed in the spring of 2008). The work was carried out by Drexler Construction Limited of Rockwood, Ontario. |
