Some pics from last week.
We have been surveying at a steel factory.
A lot of memmories came to my mind, it was the place where I started my survey career as a trainee exactly 26 years ago.
I still have two pics from then, this is one of them.
This time we were on ground level for some topo.
my colleague Guido in action.
We had a lot of floor levelling to do in different production halls.
It was a pitty that most halls were on a maintenance break, so there was not so much action besides surveying.
It was rather dark inside, we had to use a flashlight now and then. (And to light up the pictures afterwards!)
Some pics from the levelling inside the cold rolling mill.
We also did the hot rolling mill hall. They were changing the rolls, so i have no pics of the red hot steel, but i found a clip.
Youtube clip from a similar hall in Germany.
It was by momnets a noisy and dusty experience.
Christof.
When the rolls are working, looks like you could get a suntan while inside.
Very cool man, nice memories.
Thanks for posting.
I always enjoy seeing what you are doing. You certainly get into many different kinds of surveys. Never a dull moment!
Thanks for the picture. It's always interesting to see what other surveyors are doing. I have only done field work inside once. An old building that an Architect was giving new life to. It was not built at 90's and had many support columns for him to work around.
Christof,
Were you actually using your data collector with your Wild optical level? Or was it just there for show for the pictures?
B-)
Hi Stephen,
'Or was it just there for show for the pictures?' made me :-D,
it's indeed an optical level but we use a spreadsheet on the dc, PTab, it's an excel alike that works very well.
We made a sheet for levelling, so we key in the readings (back/for/sideshots) and it will adjust by taking in account the number of turn points. We only do one reading, not 3, and so do not calculate the distances.
Have a great weekend,
Chr.
Well done! Thanks for sharing!

I was actually wondering the same thing.
Good question & answer.
