Vector chart in the deformation monitoring
Vector chart in the deformation monitoring

These services are offered for the following topics:

  • Coordinate transformation between different reference systems (i.e. between the local Swiss reference systems CH1903 and CH1903+ into the global reference systems ETRS89, CHTRS95, ITRS89 or WGS84 and vice-versa)
  • Three-dimensional computations with geopotential models: geoid (geoid–ellipsoid separation, deviations of the vertical), quasi-geoid (geoid anomalies), gravity (normal gravity, interpolated gravity), etc.
  • Computation of rigorous heights like orthometric heights and normal heights from geopotential numbers Project planning and adjustment of geodetic networks (triangulation, levelling and GPS)
  • Planning GPS observations, which includes the determination of the satellite visibility and the computation of visibility on the ground, and processing the observations with GPS software
  • Deformation analysis from repeated geodetic observations
  • Transformations and interpolations of coordinates and heights in existing constrained reference frames (LV03, LN02 etc.)
