- Horizontal control Network was first established by Mr.J.E.Jackson in 1934 with 94 principle
control points.
- Further revision in 1992 with distance measurements by EDM equipment
- In 1999, the entire network was upgraded with GPS observations establishing 10 Base
stations and 272 principle control points.
