通过测量技术建立更美好的未来

房屋，建筑物，学校，桥梁，道路和任何基础设施不仅在支持它们的材料和结构中，而且在建造它们的人们的工作和知识中。资格和熟练的劳动不仅对建筑业，而且对于社会和国家的经济福祉而言，从未如此重要。手工艺贸易学校，职业学校和学员计划可以为建筑项目和建设建筑公司提供宝贵的动手和工作经验。

这Rural Development Organisation (RDO), founded in 2012 and established in Tanzania, is aware of the life-changing potential of learning a new trade. RDO, in partnership with Eine Welt Gruppe Schlins - Röns, works to improve the long-term living conditions of the people in the regions of Mdabulo and Kilolo, in the highlands of Tanzania, through diverse programs based on the principles of sustainability and knowledge transfer. RDO is opening opportunities to young men and women through vocational training and building projects – undertakings where Leica Geosystems equipment has proved useful.

激光和级别的变革力

For young people in the region, mainly living from subsistence farming, RDO training centre is a hub of opportunities to expand their prospects byreceiving training on diverse craft trades and sustainable agricultural practices。RDO的受益人通常来自农业持有和完成强制性教育，但无法继续学习。RDO在专业领域提供的培训包括实践和理论课程，并​​通过州考试完成。

“手工艺交易在这里没有传统，这就是为什么工艺训练场所很少的原因，而且这种培训的基础设施通常非常不良。此外，只有少数中学，只有一小部分人口负担得起，” explained Johannes Rauch, project manager at Eine Welt Gruppe Schlins - Röns.

To支持RDO的任务，Leica Geosystems捐赠了Leica NA730 automatic level, aLeica Rugby 800系列旋转激光和组织的距离计。从那时起，设备一直是支持RDO项目的关键。

“We use Leica Geosystems equipment very frequently and very often. This has made our work much easier. In the training for building craftsmen, these devices increase the value and the modernity of the training very much,”stated Rauch.

RDO - Centre in Mdabulo – A multi-purpose rammed-earth building built together with graduates and pupils of the RDO - craftsmen school established. The architecture project was provided by ETH Zurich students.

At RDO’s course centre in Mdabulo and through hands-on community projects, students learn the basics of construction and acquire skills using the automatic level, rotating laser and distance metre. Students learn to use the Rugby Series laser for different applications including, land levelling, grade checking, tie in slopes, vertically align formwork, and set out walls. Likewise, using theNA730 automatic level, learners understand how to measure distances, set as-sign datum lines, define height differences and read heights.

“培训是通过建筑工匠学校的常规课程进行的。现在，使用激光和电平设备牢固地固定在课程中。每年，大约有40名学生接受激光，水平和距离仪表的培训，”said Rauch.

Delivering drinking water, building better schools

Leica Geosystemsequipment is also used in the construction of the region’s infrastructure, including schools, buildings and water supply works. As of today, three water supply concrete tanks have been erected and four school buildings at two school locations are currently being built.

“Leica Geosystemsequipment is particularly useful in the construction of our project buildings, such as school buildings, student hostels, craft workshops, administration buildings, agricultural stables, teaching kitchens, teacher's accommodation, water tank construction, pump houses and field surveying for water pipes,”said Rauch.

A key programme of RDO is the construction and management of drinking water facilities in the villages. Geared with Leica Geosystems equipment, RDO and Vorarlberg experts together with the villagers, dug water pipes from the spring catchments into the villages, wells and founded water cooperatives.

在具有深山谷和高度的丘陵地形上进行计划，挖掘和建造供水基础设施并不是一件容易的事。为了正确地，NA730自动级别用于长距离的长距离3.5 to 4 kilometres to measure foundations在连接和精确计划铺管梯田ion with gravity pipelines.

“Previously, the foundations were done with a slat and spirit level or with a cord spirit level. Deviations up to 15 centimetres at distances up to 15 metres were the rule,”said Rauch.“指某东西的用途the levelling device greatly simplified planning and made it safer。Also, we have succeeded in significantly improving the accuracy.”

Empowering people

赋予人们和想法做最大的善良的能力 - 这是六边形技术解决方案背后的最终目的。bob体育报道从这个意义上讲，RDO正在利用坦桑尼亚社区的建筑工具来提供清洁水的机会，提供结构，以便儿童上学，并为一代年轻人准备具有贸易和技能的年轻人，以面对当前和未来的挑战。获得衡量和定位技术的访问不仅具有为我们周围的世界建立世界的变革力量，而且还提供熟练的劳动力来谋生。
