Leica Rugby 800 Series
The Leica 800 Rugby series has been replaced with the Upgradable range.
The strongest and most durable construction lasers ever.
The Leica Rugby 800 series construction laser is the most durable and robust on the market today. More than an average laser, the 800 series are all extremely clever and flexible and are integrated into the Leica Geosystems intelligent CONstruction range providing a complete solution to the construction professional. This impressive range of lasers is protected to IP68, a Military Grade Certification and the highest standard in dust and water protection. It also comes with guaranteed temperature stability - something to be checked when comparing with other suppliers. This level of quality provides confidence when used in the toughest and harshest conditions.
Variants of the Rugby 800 series include Smart Targeting for automatically aligning the laser, Smart Lock for real-time monitoring and corrections as well as many other features. Explore the Leica Rugby 810 for easy leveling, Leica Rugby 820 which is ideal for slopes, Leica Rugby 830 to avoid downtime and the top of the range Leica Rugby 840.
Each Leica Rugby 800 Laser can come with Li-ion battery pack and Li-ion charger. This means the laser can run and be charged anywhere and at any time. The Rugby lasers are environmentally friendly and can be used charged using a solar panel.
Enhance any of the Leica Laser Rugby 800 series with additional plug and play accessories. Charge and use at the same time with the A170 Solar Panel and increase performance when used with a Rod Eye receiver such as the 140 Digital, 160 Digital, and the top of the range 180 Digital RF.
All Leica Rugby 800 Series lasers come with a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty ‘PROTECT’. This includes free repair or replacement from faults in manufacturing or materials. The warranty also comes with 5 years no cost repair or replacement of all defect parts including calibration, adjustment and labour.

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.
