Geodetic Networks

Control networks that provide a stable horizontal and vertical reference for long corridors, tunnels, bridges and complex engineering sites.

What we do

A reliable reference frame before detailed engineering begins

MapSoft designs, realizes, measures, adjusts and validates geodetic control networks for projects where many survey and construction activities must share the same coordinate and height reference. Networks can support long infrastructure corridors, tunnels, bridges, construction sites and high-accuracy mapping.

The network concept is adapted to visibility, geometry, datum, required precision and future use. GNSS vectors, total-station directions and distances, precise levelling and coordinate transformation are combined where appropriate, with final coordinates, heights and point descriptions delivered as a controlled basis for subsequent work.

Where it is used

Built around the project context.

01

Long corridors

Common reference for road and railway design and construction.

02

Tunnels

Surface and underground control linked through a stable network.

03

Bridges & structures

Object-specific control for setting-out, survey and monitoring.

04

Mapping control

Reference for photogrammetry, LiDAR, GCPs and engineering datasets.

How we work

A controlled path from requirement to delivery.

MapSoft combines static GNSS, terrestrial angle/distance observations and geometric levelling according to the network geometry and accuracy target. Office processing includes vector control, least-squares adjustment, transformation to the project frame and review of residuals, closures and network figures before definitive coordinates are issued.

Quality & control

Control built into the engineering process

Accuracy and traceability are managed from the reference framework through field observations and final engineering deliverables.

Network design & observation

  • Accuracy targets translated into observation geometry and redundancy.
  • Stable monumentation and clear point identification.
  • Multiple observation types combined where they strengthen the network.

Adjustment & validation

  • Least-squares adjustment and gross-error review.
  • Horizontal and vertical datum consistency checked separately and together.
  • Definitive coordinates/heights supported by technical and graphical documentation.
