• Introduction • What is GIS? • GIS Applications • RTK Rovers and Requirements • Localizing a jobsite
• Approach • Results • Conclusions • Recommendations • Acknowledgements • Questions?

• Setting up GPS jobsites is time consuming
• Using an RTK GPS base and rover, a form of GIS technology; we created a digital file and calibrated a major portion of Ottawa’s geography
• By doing this, we’ve eliminated the need to calibrate individual jobsites for each new project

A Geographic Information System is: “a system for marrying data sets with geography”

Surveying

- Feature Layout - Stake out - Real-time “cuts”
and “fills”
- Topographic surveys or “TOPO’s”
- “As-builts” - On-site volume and
area calculations

AutoCAD Drawings and Plans
Precise Survey Control Points
Figure 5. A typical survey control monument. Prepared and provided by
engineers, consultants Contain spatial information and line work Used to create designs, maps, and everything visible on data collector screen
Installed by qualified land surveyors Provided to contractors by City of Ottawa, MTO, etc. Used to localize or calibrate jobsites

• Published coordinates are like a really big game of Battleship… but where are the labels?

• 3-dimensional, curved surface of the Earth is being represented on flat, 2-dimensional plans
• Distortion is INVEVITABLE • Shapes and sizes can become
misrepresented
Figure 6. A ripped orange peel representing data transfer distortion.
• Control points “pin” the digital plans, to the Earth’s surface
• “Iron out the wrinkles” • Done through CALIBRATION

• Find reliable network of control points • Measure in control points • Testing: practical and theoretical

• Horizontal and vertical accuracy below 40 mm • Accurate enough for many construction applications
It’s good!

Give it a try! Waiting for issued control points = time consuming
Searching for control points = time consuming Calibrating individual sites = time consuming
TIME = MONEY
