Survey Theodolites & Transit Levels from Bench Mark

Only the Best Quality Survey Instruments

Survey transit theodolites typically feature a durable, three-screw leveling base that mounts securely onto your survey tripod, creating a stable and adjustable platform for accurate construction layout and surveying. The theodolite’s body has two key assemblies:
  • Alidade (upper assembly): Includes the standards, telescope, digital display, plate bubbles, compass, and upper tangent screw.
  • Circle assembly: Contains the horizontal circle (protected by the alidade plate) and the upper clamp screw, working together to provide highly precise angular measurements in the field.
At Bench Mark, every theodolite and transit level includes a minimum one-year warranty. We also professionally calibrate each instrument before sale, ensuring compliance with industry standards and ready-to-use accuracy.

FAQs

Bench Mark is your trusted source for GeoMeasure and GeoMax theodolites (also known as survey transits). We offer a variety of models suited to your specific needs. Based in Calgary, Canada, we proudly serve clients throughout British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan with reliable theodolites and transit levels.

Theodolites, or survey transits, are affordable, reliable instruments used for construction layout and surveying. They precisely measure horizontal and vertical angles and can also:

  • Establish straight lines
  • Measure horizontal and vertical distances using stadia
  • Determine elevations when used as a leveling instrument

Using a Digital Survey Theodolite

We can help

We make it simple to get started:
  1. Set up the transit level over a known point using the optical plummet on the underside.
  2. Back-sight by focusing the telescope and crosshairs on a reference point (typically a target pole at least 150 feet away).
  3. Zero the instrument by pressing the set-zero button.
  4. Measure horizontal or vertical angles using the digital display.
  5. Store safely, making sure the theodolite is dry before closing its case.
At Bench Mark, we back every instrument with expert support. If you run into issues, our team can often resolve them with just a quick five-minute phone call.
