A review article on the alignment of technological equipment located on a closed ring path (for example cyclic accelerators). Such geodesic works are very difficult, since the tolerance for alignment in the radial and altitude directions is 0,05 mm. The main survey instrument in such works is a laser tracker. The positions of the laser tracker stations were studied during equipment alignment, taking into account the effect of errors in the transverse directions. The values of the mean square errors for the distances and angles of the API trackers are used. Calculations are made for distances from 0,5 to 10 meters usual for production of precision measurements. The cases of installation of a laser tracker outside and inside the project radius are considered. The results of error calculations when changing the vertical angle of the laser tracker are also presented. The obtained results enable determining the 3D zones for the alignment process equipment, which will improve the efficiency of geodetic works.
