Measuring & Marking Leader

Building Roads

The gentleman with the measuring wheel is Chris R. He is an engineer from Germany donating his time and expertise with Engineers Without Borders in Malawi. Chris was working on an irrigation project. He contacted Keson because the measuring wheel he had bought online in the U.S. had broken. That wheel had been picked up by a group of engineering students in Wyoming and hand delivered to Chris in his location in Africa. When the wheel broke outside of Lilongwe, Malawi's capital city, Chris was not exactly able to walk to the nearest surveying store and get a new one.

Our solution? We shipped him a new digital MP401E, and some other products the same day we received his email. In return, Chris sent us some amazing pictures reminding us of how Keson products help our customers make their mark in the world.

Keson Stories

"Your measuring tapes are used by many cavers as the number one measuring tool for underground survey of caves. We have taken these tapes well over 500ft underground and have dragged them through some of the worst mud, grit, and grime you can imagine. We have gone to the point of completely covering the tape with mud - so much mud you cannot even see the numbers. We just washed the tape in water and it's like new again. Nowhere above ground are you ever going to encounter conditions like what we put these tapes through. You get what you pay for and Keson tapes are just that indestructible!" Cave Surveyor, Kelly
