The Sokkia 60857-SURSK Surveyor's Field Kit delivers the targeted collection of jobsite accessories that survey technicians and layout professionals rely on every day. Designed around how actual field crews operate — running total stations, GPS rovers, and conventional optical instruments on construction sites, boundary surveys, and topographic mapping jobs — this kit eliminates the guesswork of sourcing individual consumables and accessories piecemeal. Sokkia assembled what gets used, not what looks good on a spec sheet.
Kit Overview and Jobsite Applications
Survey crews spend time in environments that are hard on equipment and even harder on the small accessories that keep fieldwork moving. The 60857-SURSK addresses that reality directly. Whether you're setting control on a civil grading project, running traverses for a boundary retracement, or collecting topo data across rough terrain, this kit supports the daily workflow with marking tools, instrument protection accessories, and maintenance essentials. It's the kind of kit that lives in the truck or the instrument case and gets pulled out on every shift.

Job Applications
Construction Layout: Layout crews staking foundations, roads, or utilities need reliable marking and flagging tools within arm's reach. The 60857-SURSK keeps those essentials stocked so work doesn't stop waiting on a supply run.
Boundary and Topographic Surveys: Field surveyors covering long traverses or dense topo grids deal with mud, vegetation, and weather. Having instrument care and marking tools on hand protects equipment investment and keeps data collection on schedule.
GPS Rover Operations: RTK and static GPS fieldwork puts crews in remote locations where resupply isn't an option. The compact, complete nature of this kit makes it a practical addition to any rover pack or field vehicle.
Daily Instrument Maintenance: Survey instruments represent significant capital investment. The maintenance accessories in this kit support field-level care that extends instrument service life between scheduled calibration and depot service intervals.
