Laser Technology in Construction
Laser technology has been around for the past 20 years, but the use of it’s amazing capabilities has only become popular in the past decade. Lasers today are used in all types of fields from military equipment, cd burning, eye vision examinations, construction fields and many more. It’s a universal new technology that can be applied to many fields, and make the job much easier and faster. Laser use in construction was started by replacing the old fashioned leveling. When doing leveling with laser it saves time and man power. A good example would be when doing elevations of long distances, like 1500 FT, it requires minimum of two people. In the same process when laser technology is used, it only requires one person to do the same amount of work. When trying to achieve a perfect flat grade, laser is the best tool for this job. The precision of laser is very commonly used in large commercial construction which typically has very tight tolerances. General and concrete contractors commonly rely on construction lasers and receivers for elevation control, lasers also ideal for use on smaller machines such as backhoes, skid-steers, and mini excavators for site preparation applications. The explanation of laser is "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation." A laser is a specific kind of light, the qualities of which make it ideal for construction purposes. Laser light, for example, is monochromatic which means that it contains one specific color that is easy to recognize and the light is highly directional. Light from most sources spreads out as it travels, so as the distance from the source increases the amount of light hitting any given area actually decreases. A Laser light is different. It has a very constricted beam that remains solid and concentrated over a distance as much as 2,500 feet long. Laser light travels as a parallel beam and spreads very little. When using grading
