The new Trimble TS215 is designed by Trimble and Nikon with user-friendly onboard software that adheres to the basic workflow processes and terminology of layout and general contractors.

It is an affordable option for users who want a high performing mechanical total station to conduct their two-person building construction layout functions, including:

Measuring angles and distances
Turning to specific angles
Setting out angles and distances
Laying out building lines
Setting point locations for concrete form placement
Setting anchor bolts
Establishing excavation lines

The TS 215 is also scalable. It can be connected to the optional Trimble LM80 controller, or to your own external controller running your favorite surveying software.
