Single Base and NetWork Solutions
Introduction
Welcome to the SmartFix Reference station newsletters. The newsletters are designed to better understand the feature and functions of the Real Time SmartFix Reference Station’s. Whether you are already familiar with reference stations or a relative newcomer to reference stations, the aim is that everybody will learn something from reading the news letters.
Real Time Reference Station corrections
No matter who supplies your GNSS equipment you can connect on to the SmartFix network, all that is required in a GNSS receiver capable of receiving an NTRIP (international standard) correction. For information how to connect please email info@globalsurvey.co.nz
Single Base vs Network Solution
Single Base solutions work using the same principles as the traditional Base and Rover concept. However the base is permanent and the connection is by cellular rather than radio. Single Base station corrections have a distance error component of around 1mm per km from the base station. Errors in height and position grow proportionally in relationship with distance from the base.
A Network Solution samples the corrections from a number of base stations and provides an even, consistent, high accuracy performance over the entire network region. There is no distance dependant error when working inside the network. The advantages can be seen from the in results of the test of the Waikato Network below

Recent testing of the Waikato Network Solution reported the following errors.
The nearest Base to the solution = 51km. The WORST reported spread in results where as follows, N = 0.028m, E = 0.018m, Ht = 0.043m.
With the typical spread being N= 0.015m, E = 0.015m, Ht = 0.035m.
Relative accuracy test = mean was 0.02m for position and 0.03m for ht (between known marks)
In a single Base Station solution 50Kms from the base errors would be at least in the order of 0.07m for position and 0.14m for ht.

Onewa Road Interchange Project
The Onewa Road Interchange project on Auckland’s North Shore was part of Stage 2 of the Northern Busway, a dedicated 8.7km bus route from Constellation Drive to just before the Auckland Harbour Bridge, alongside a major upgrade of the existing Onewa Road interchange to improve safety and access on and off the Northern Motorway. This $33m project was funded by the New Zealand Transport Agency and North Shore City Council with construction works being undertaken by Fletcher Construction from early 2007 to November 2008.
The original Onewa Road Bridge was a two-lane structure with tight high speed turns not suited to modern traffic flows. The project involved completely removing this bridge and its approaches and replacing it with two new bridges dedicated to traffic entering and exiting the southbound lane of SH1. These bridges were built on sweeping curves to allow for safer, faster traffic flow and also included a bus lane for city bound commuters. A third bridge skirts the junction over the City of Cork beach to carry the busway unimpeded around the interchange to join the motorway south just before the Auckland Harbour Bridge.
The site was well-suited to the use of both Leica GPS1200 and TPS1200 Total Stations with the two new on and off ramps designed on superelevated arcs with non-perpendicular piers.
In order to calculate and model the complex three-dimensional shape of the piers, 12d software was used to great advantage from interrogation of design drawings to supplying setout coordinates for surveyors on site. Pre-cast T-Roff girders of up to 30 metres in length were craned into position between the piers after checks and setout of each girder centreline. The bridge deck itself was modelled in 12d and then set out using Road Runner software on a Leica TCRP1203. Constant as-built surveys were undertaken throughout the project to ensure construction tolerances were being adhered to as well as monthly monitoring surveys on areas of pre-loaded fill to keep an eye on the settlement of the four new embankments.
Apart from the need to cause minimum disturbance to traffic, the construction team had to take extra special care not to disturb the habitat of resident New Zealand dotterels. Works were programmed and halted around the nesting seasons of the birds in order to ensure the endangered species had every chance of breeding successfully.

The project involves installation of Leica’s Jigsaw 360 systems on 30 items of plant, plus installation of a wireless broadband network to cover the mine – an area of 8 x 3km. Systems installed include drill-rigs, excavators, dozers, wheel loaders, haul trucks and supervisor vehicles. Our teams have spent the last 3-4 months completing the installation of the hardware and are currently involved in commissioning and customer training.
For Solid Energy, the system will allow them to automatically schedule and optimise movements of haul trucks and excavators, improve safety when working above old underground workings and track coal movements from the pits to the stockpiles. Comprehensive reports are available in real time or at shift change to enable analysis of performance against customised KPIs. Visibility to the system is controlled by Solid Energy’s IT department, ensuring those who need to know get access to the data they need, right when they need it.
In order to map old underground workings, Solid Energy and Chris Coll Surveying have been Laser Scanning (including the Leica Scanstation and the MDL cavity scanner) to create detailed and accurate maps which are used to generate hazard zones for the Leica fleet management system.
The system is scheduled to ‘Go Live’ on June 1st, when the many stakeholders at the mine will be analysing the results for improvements in safety, operational costs and product quality.

Leica Powergrade 3D
The next time you’re watching the Crusaders or the Canterbury Rugby team and you notice how great the playing surface is looking, you have HG Turf to thank and Leica PowerGrade 3D.
At the end of the 2008 Rugby season, HG Turf started work on upgrading the playing surface at AMI stadium. The work included excavation and striping of the old surface, laying new drainage and construction of a brand new “state of the art” playing surface on the park.
To do this HG used a drag scoop fitted with a Leica PowerGrade 3D system using a Leica “robotic” total station to automatically control HG’s drag-scoop allowing them to grade to within a few millimetres of design.
Says Ray Copeland, General Manager, “The feedback from the operators was fantastic. Not having used this type of technology before they picked it up immediately and gave us very good reports about how much more accurate and how much faster they were. They were very impressed with the final result and savings in time and material”.
PowerGrade 3D can be used with GPS or robotic total station or both. Combined with Leica’s unique “mast-slope compensation” PowerGrade 3D is not only the most accurate system on the market its also the most flexible being able to be used with all major manufacturers GPS and survey technology and other manufacturers hydraulic systems. The system can be mounted on a broad range of machinery such as Graders Scrapers, Dozers and scoops, automatically controlling the machines hydraulics or providing operator guidance.
