Dubai, UAE. – 22nd July, 2009 – Topcon Middle East is partnering with 12d Solutions to offer to the Middle East market an ultimate solution that drives the entire project lifecycle, from field data collection and layout to office terrain modeling and civil engineering.

 
Philippe Akl, Sales & Marketing Manager, said, “Coupling Topcon's field solutions with 12d’s office software offers unparalleled professional and versatile value for our users.
