swisstopo offers the following geodetic services:

• Three-dimensional computations with geopotential models: geoid (geoid-ellipsoid separation, deviations from the vertical), quasi-geoid (geoid anomalies), gravity (normal gravity, interpolated gravity), etc.
• Computation of rigorous heights, e.g. orthometric and normal heights from geopotential numbers
• Extremely precise calculation of coordinates of reference points through GNSS measurements and evaluations in the LV95 reference frame, supported by the permanent AGNES stations
• Calculation of magnetic inclination and declination
• Transformations and interpolations of coordinates and heights into existing constrained reference frames (LV03, LN02, etc.)

Here the following methods are applied: 

• GNSS (static)
• Precision levelling
• Gyroscope measurements
• Gravity measurements
• Plumb-line deflection measurements

The fields of application for geodetic services are as follows:

• High-precision basic measurements with GNSS to calculate reference points in the LV95 reference frame
• Geodetic deformation for the investigation of tectonic movements in the earth's crust (terrestrial and with GNSS)
• Orientation transfer by means of gyroscope measurements for projects with no line of sight to the exterior (e.g. in tunnel construction)
• Staking out astronomic or magnetic azimuths for scientific purposes or special applications
• Measurement of astronomic-geodetic profiles with GNSS, levelling and plumb-line deflection measurements, e.g. validation of geoid models
• Measurement of orthometric height differences (combined levelling and gravity measurements) for infrastructure projects with the corresponding requirements
• Conventional engineering surveys on behalf of internal partners, e.g. the armed forces
