This combination gives the surveyor the capability of retrieving data related to the coordinates of the reflector in the device.

Civil engineers work within the State of Connecticut to design and oversee various municipal and government construction projects. Civil engineers and land surveyors provide the plans that allow workers to effectively build roads, complete construction projects, construct airports and ensure that various structures such as tunnels and bridges are built correctly.
