With new developments and advancements in mind, our Construction听and听Civil Engineering听department at the听City of Newport Campus听has听had an exciting delivery听of brand-new surveying equipment听from听. As specialists in providing high-quality measurement solutions, surveying equipment, and mapping systems for the engineering and construction sectors in the UK, KOREC brings innovative technology to the market, making it possible for us to offer industry-standard equipment for learners to use on campus. This is exactly the type of equipment we want you to experience during your studies at Coleg Gwent, preparing you for the world of work and the future of the industry. It鈥檚 vital to be exposed to these pieces of high-tech equipment early in your career, so you can become familiar with the specialist tools you鈥檒l see in the workplace. It all helps to get you ready for the move into employment after college. 听

So, we鈥檝e purchased an educational package from KOREC, including a Trimble robotic total station, a manual total station, a GNSS Network Rover, and the educational licensed software required for them. Construction Tutor, Paul Hayes, worked alongside Head of School, Nigel Ridout, and a Trimble Accredited Trainer from KOREC, to secure the new equipment that will serve our students at the leading edge of construction technology into the next decade. A Certified Trimble Trainer has offered to train our staff to upskill their current experience too, allowing us to provide the best opportunity for our students to learn with experienced tutors and industry-standard equipment. 听

These fantastic new tools allow us to stay industry-current at Coleg Gwent, providing you with the best learning opportunities, right on your doorstep. The equipment will be used for topographical surveying, land surveying, angular measurement, and setting out of buildings, which are integral elements to our technical education modules in Construction and the Built Environment courses. It will allow learners to collect very accurate data that can improve their analytical work prior to the design stage ani It鈥檒l be used for teaching at all levels of Surveying and Site Engineering, right up to听HNC听and听HND听level.听This means that both听full time听students and apprentices will benefit from training听with听this听equipment, and听develop an understanding of the principles behind their use.听听

With the new facilities听available at Coleg Gwent, we鈥檙e also running an exciting听project module for our Level 3听learners听that will include a full topographical survey of a field in听Crickhowell.听This is a great opportunity for our learners to听use the new equipment and听apply theory to practice in a real-world scenario.听The final result听of the project听will be a residential design project that could potentially provide insight for a client to have a parcel of land added to the Brecon Beacons听National Park Local Plan.听
