Milnes Acquires GPS Technology

Milnes Companies have acquired new technology. The technology known worldwide as Global Positioning System (GPS) can be used around the globe in connection with accurately determining locations, navigating, monitoring goods, mapping, and timing events regardless of weather conditions.

GPS Technology consists of orbiting satellites and ground receivers. The satellites are known reference points that continuously transmit accurate position and time signals to the ground receiver. Ground positions can now be determined quickly with a degree of precision that previously was difficult to achieve.

The GPS equipment that Milnes Companies acquired allows their engineers and/or surveyors the ability to obtain, in the field, millimeter position accuracy in three dimensions. This equipment will be used in connection with land boundary surveys, topographic surveys, construction stakeout, establishment of horizontal and vertical control for aerial mapping, route surveying, as built surveys, court exhibit surveys, location of wetlands and waterways, GIS mapping and management mapping.
