The Technology Roadshow was perfect for contractors, engineers and surveyors. Many contractors commented that times are changing and adopting new technologies to meet the growing demands of today’s world will enhance their businesses. During the event, Benchmark and Topcon showed what technology can do on the job site, and provided information that will help the guests decide what type of system or technology is the best for them.
