Suparule Cable Height Meter
The handheld Suparule Cable Height Meter accurately measures cable height, sag and clearance giving a much safer alternative to commonly used telescopic ranging poles.
With the use of ultrasonic signals the height of cables can be determined up to 75 feet/23metres. Short bursts of sound are emitted from the cable height meter which begins from the transmitter. The instrument then calculates the time for each sound burst to reflect back from the cable to the instrument. The result is shown in either imperial or metric units. The Suparule will automatically compensate for temperature variations as this can affect the speed of sound with the use of an acute sensor which detects the air temperature.
To take measurements simply stand beneath the cable or cables (up to six cables can be measured), aligning and turning the instrument on. Once the temperature has stabilised the ‘Measure’ button is pressed and a precise reading is given.

Leica iCON Construction Tools
The importance of digital measurement and layout techniques is growing due to increased project complexity, digitalization, and the industry's need for clear documentation. The Leica iCON iCS20 and iCS50 3D tools simplify tasks with visual measurement technology, automated workflows, and intuitive software, requiring minimal training for quick deployment.
Implementing Noise, Dust, and Vibration Monitoring for Civil Engineering Projects in UK Cities
As UK cities grow, urban construction projects face increasing scrutiny over environmental impacts like noise, dust, and vibration. These factors can affect public health, safety, and nearby structures, especially in densely populated areas or near schools, hospitals, and heritage sites. Poor management can lead to noise complaints, air quality violations, and even structural damage, resulting in delays, fines, or costly project setbacks. Monitoring helps ensure regulatory compliance, safeguard communities, and protect sensitive buildings.
