The Most Accurate
Pipe Detailing Solution.
Backed by decades of industry experience, Data Point Targets are designed to give you the most accurate layout and make every job successful the first time. Utilizing Total Station you can precisely shoot Points of Connection and easily export them into most MEP software.
Save time
Meet tight schedules and get the job done efficiently the first time.
Lower costs
All your measurements are precise, so you can be certain you’ll only need to fabricate once.
Always precise
Designed to find the true center of every pipe so the spools will fit like a glove.
Simple process to fit your current workflow

Attach target to pipe POC
Set the size and clamp down onto the pipe, our systems will automatically find the center. Then simply rotate the dual gimbal system around the targets so they are aimed at your Total Station.
Use Total station to shoot target POCs
Set up your Total Station in the area you want to shoot, then create control points and shoot each target to Points of Connection.

Bring into your preferred detailing software to build layout
Download the control points in either CSV, MEP, or TXF files then import into AutoCAD or your preferred detailing software. Once in your MEP Software you can place your flanged, welded, grooved, threaded, or plain ended pipe at the exported points and connect the dots to build perfect BIM models.
Fabricate spool pieces for piping
Pass the accurate layouts to your detailing team and develop spools, piping, and hanger systems that will match up correctly.

Confidently install
Take that information back out in the field to place your hangers, knowing you will get it right the first time.
A target to fit every pipe
With a range of different sizes and attachment styles, you will find a target to fit any pipe. Learn the specifics of each model and choose which targeting system is right for your industry.
What clients have to say about it
We have been able to gather in-field P.O.C. and routing data much quicker and enter that information via the Trimble Total Station into our BIM models that produce much more accurate dimensions and spool sheets for our fabrication team. They have have been an extremely useful tool for our accuracy and speed of field measurements and implementation into our BIM models. These targets reduce incorrectly fabricated spools and re-work on the projects we have utilized them. With repeated use we have found more and more ways to use them in our BIM process to increase the accuracy of our spool drawings and BIM models, they quickly end up paying for themselves.
At TCM we have been using the Data Point Targets products on several projects. It has allowed us to utilize the true ability of the fleet of Trimble Total Stations we have. We are able to create an accurate 3D BIM model and fabricate spools with the information collected. The information is collected with the points from the current field conditions with routing and at P.O.C’s, input into the BIM model from our CAD department, converted into spool sheets, built in our fab shop, shipped to the job site, and installed the first time! This also allows our as-builds to be drawn in real time. We have seen a benefit of using the Data Point Targets with saved time and money associated with, rework and schedule delays, labor cost overruns, loss of crane time, shipping cost, fab shop time and additional material cost. We have had great success with Data Point Targets within TCM.
