通过测量技术建立更美好的未来

Houses, buildings, schools, bridges, roads and any infrastructure you can think of stand not only in the material and structure that support them but in the work and know-how of the people who built them. Qualified and skilled labour has never been more vital for not only the construction industry but for the economical well-being of societies and countries. Craft trade schools, vocational schools and trainee programs can provide the valuable hands-on and work experience needed for construction projects and building construction companies.

这农村发展组织（RDO），成立于2012年并在坦桑尼亚成立，意识到学习新贸易的改变潜力。RDO与Eine Welt Gruppe Schlins合作 - Röns，致力于改善坦桑尼亚高地Mdabulo和Kilolo地区人民在坦桑尼亚高地的长期生活条件，通过可持续性和知识转移原则的不同计划。RDO通过职业培训和建筑项目为年轻男女开放机会 - 雷卡地理系统设备被证明有用的事业。

激光和级别的变革力

对于该地区的年轻人来说，主要是从生存农业生活的年轻人，RDO培训中心是扩大前景的机会接受有关各种工艺交易和可持续农业实践的培训。RDO的受益人通常来自农业持有和完成强制性教育，但无法继续学习。RDO在专业领域提供的培训包括实践和理论课程，并​​通过州考试完成。

“手工艺交易在这里没有传统，这就是为什么工艺训练场所很少的原因，而且这种培训的基础设施通常非常差。此外，只有少数中学，只有一小部分人口负担得起，” Eine Welt Gruppe Schlins的项目经理Johannes Rauch解释说。

到support the mission of RDO，Leica Geosystems捐赠了Leica NA730自动水平, aLeica Rugby 800系列rotating laser and a distance metre to the organisation. Since then, the equipment has been key to support RDO projects.

“我们经常使用徕卡呈设备and very often. This has made our work much easier. In the training for building craftsmen, these devices increase the value and the modernity of the training very much,”劳赫说。

RDO - Centre in Mdabulo – A multi-purpose rammed-earth building built together with graduates and pupils of the RDO - craftsmen school established. The architecture project was provided by ETH Zurich students.

在Mdabulo的RDO课程中心，通过动手社区项目，学生们使用自动级别，旋转激光和距离计来了解建筑和获取技能的基础。学生学习使用橄榄球系列激光器进行不同的应用，包括土地级别，成绩检查，斜坡领带，垂直对齐模板和隔离墙。同样，使用NA730自动水平, learners understand how to measure distances, set as-sign datum lines, define height differences and read heights.

“这training takes place through regular lessons at the building craftsmen's school. The use of laser and level equipment is now firmly anchored in the curriculum. Every year, about 40 students are trained in the use of lasers, levels and distance metres,”劳赫说。

提供饮用水，建造更好的学校

Leica Geosystems设备还用于该地区基础设施的建设，包括学校，建筑物和供水厂。截至目前，已经建立了三个供水混凝土储罐，目前正在两个学校建造四座学校建筑物。

“Leica Geosystemsequipment is particularly useful in the construction of our project buildings, such as school buildings, student hostels, craft workshops, administration buildings, agricultural stables, teaching kitchens, teacher's accommodation, water tank construction, pump houses and field surveying for water pipes,”劳赫说。

RDO的一个关键计划是村庄饮用水设施的建设和管理。RDO和Vorarlberg的专家配备了Leica Geosystems设备，以及村民，从春季流域挖出水管进入村庄，韦尔斯和创始的水上合作社。

调查坦桑尼亚伊斯勒村高架坦克的建筑工地，以提供供水。

Planning, digging and building a water supply infrastructure in a hilly terrain with deep valleys and heights is not an easy task. To do it right, the NA730 automatic level is used over long distances of up to3.5至4公里以衡量基础and precisely plan pipe-laying terraces in connection with gravity pipelines.

“以前，基础是以板条和精神水平或绳索的精神水平完成的。距离最多15厘米的偏差为15米，是规则，”劳赫说。“指某东西的用途升级设备大大简化了计划，并使其更安全。而且，我们已经成功地提高了准确性。”

Empowering people

Empowering people and ideas to do their greatest good – this is the ultimate purpose behind Hexagon’s technology solutions. In this sense, RDO is leveraging construction tools in Tanzanian communities to deliver access to clean water, provide the structures so children attend school, and prepare a generation of young individuals with a trade and skills to face current and future challenges. Access to measuring and positioning technology has the transformative power not only to build the world around us but provides skilled labour the means to earn a livelihood.
