More than 10 million objects measured, in more than 40 countries.
The civil work around the rails
Railway projects carry a lot of civil work next to the track: cable routes, foundations, drainage, access roads. With the UNI-Collect Survey Package your crew sets out and records that work when it is ready, with photos on every point. Track geometry and rail alignment checks need specialist rail survey equipment; we cover the civil work around them.

Support that keeps you working
Our own support team in Hilversum answers the phone during office hours, on a local number in the Netherlands, Germany and the UK. Those three numbers are an extra, not a limit: we help customers worldwide, by phone, email and chat, in several languages. What customers tell us most is that we keep them moving. Someone picks up a kit from a colleague, has never used it before and calls to ask how to set it up: that is usually sorted on the phone in a few minutes. If talking it through is not enough, we can take over the receiver remotely and look at it with you. For the harder cases we stay on it until you can get on with your work.
- Email and chat support on every plan.
- Phone support and remote assistance from Professional.
- A replacement receiver if yours fails, on Ultimate.
What our customers say
“Measuring tapes are a thing of the past. With the UNI-GR2 we are now able to equip every worker, foreman or technician in the field with an easy to use receiver to survey.”
Heijmans
The Netherlands
“By using the UNI-GR2 and combining it with our GIS tools, we have been able to work more efficient. On fibre optics projects, we are now able to skip about 50 process steps!”
BAM Infra Telecom
The Netherlands
“The stake-out function saves us a lot of time, with quick loading of points and lines. It’s easy to use, which is a big plus. We use the UNI-GR2 for baseline measurements, construction work, and sewer projects, and we’re very satisfied with it.”

Frequently asked questions
No. Track geometry and rail alignment checks need specialist rail survey equipment. Our kit is for the civil work around the track: foundations, cable routes, drainage and access roads, to the centimetre.
Foundations for masts, signals and cabinets, cable trough and duct routes, crossings, drainage, culverts and access roads. Every point is recorded with its height and photos, and syncs to UNI-Cloud.
Centimetre-accurate with an RTK fix from the UNI-GR2 and UNI-RTK Premium corrections. In the open you work to the centimetre; close to buildings, trees or other obstructions, where the sky view is limited, expect around 2 cm. Tilt compensation up to 45 degrees means the pole does not have to be held level.
The UNI-Collect Survey Package is € 5.645 the first year, complete with the UNI-GR2 receiver, a rugged tablet, a pole, the UNI-Collect app, one year of UNI-Cloud Professional and one year of UNI-RTK Premium. After that it is € 1.750 a year for the two subscriptions. Prices exclude VAT.
You choose the coordinate system per project: RD and NAP in the Netherlands, OSGB36 in the UK, Lambert in Belgium, the national grid and height system in Germany, or any other. Import CSV, TXT, DXF, DWG, LandXML, GeoJSON, KML and ESRI Shapefile; export DWG, DXF, LandXML, CSV, TXT and GeoJSON.
Yes. You request a KLIC notification directly in UNI-Cloud, and the cables and pipes load as a layer over your project, in the field on the tablet, in the office and in the UNI-Machine cabin. Available from UNI-Cloud Professional, which is part of the Survey Package.
