A few years ago, I set a DH in the middle of the concrete slab over a utility vault hanging out in the side of a hill overlooking the ballfield. We have run some static on it over the years without issue.
Yesterday afternoon the crew setup a total station and it would not hold an angle. They would zero out and the station would move about 4 minutes.
This morning they went out with the backup total station and had the same issue. They setup on the sidewalk about 20′ away and had no issue.There used to be a siren nearby. When I was a kid it would go off at noon everyday. I do not recall when they took it down, but perhaps they placed it in the vault. I don’t even know if the thing had a big magnet in it.
I have a call in to the Town Staff to get into the vault to see what the deal is. It is a great point for GPS and Total Station.
