If your surveying, construction, or municipal project requires high-accuracy positioning, a properly installed GNSS reference station is essential.
Surveying with Robert provides professional GNSS reference station installation and setup for organizations that depend on reliable positioning data. Whether you are expanding a Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) network or installing a permanent GNSS base station, we ensure every componentāfrom site selection to correction broadcastingāis installed, calibrated, and configured for long-term accuracy and dependable performance.
In this video, Robert breaks down a Trimble Alloy installation at a Louisiana data center and explains why a single, reliable control point is the key to eliminating site-wide coordinate errors. Stop juggling multiple control points and connect with Robert to learn how a dedicated reference station can streamline your next project.
We evaluate potential locations to ensure your GNSS reference station has clear satellite visibility, minimal signal interference, and long-term environmental stability. Proper placement is critical for consistent data quality and reliable positioning corrections.
Professional installation of survey-grade GNSS receivers and antennas, including Trimble and other leading systems. We ensure secure mounting, correct antenna alignment, and full receiver configuration for dependable long-term operation.
We configure the infrastructure needed for your station to broadcast RTK corrections to field crews. This includes internet connectivity, network configuration, and integration with RTK or CORS networks when required.
Using static observation processing, we determine the precise coordinates of your station and ensure it functions as a stable GNSS base station for long-term survey control and high-accuracy positioning.
Installing a GNSS reference station involves more than simply mounting equipment. The accuracy of every measurement in your network depends on the quality of the installation.
Robert Martin brings decades of surveying expertise and hands-on GNSS expertise to every project. Recent work includes reference station installations in Indiana and across the islands of Hawaii, where reliable positioning infrastructure is critical.
When you work with Surveying with Robert, you get:
A GNSS reference station is a fixed-position receiver that continuously collects satellite positioning data and broadcasts correction signals to nearby GNSS receivers.
These corrections enable RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) positioning, allowing surveyors and field crews to achieve centimeter-level accuracy for surveying, mapping, and construction operations.
A properly installed GNSS reference station becomes the foundation of a geospatial control network, ensuring accurate positioning across an entire project area.
Organizations install permanent GNSS base stations to support high-accuracy positioning for a wide range of applications, including:
These systems allow field crews to receive real-time correction data, improving accuracy and productivity.
Organizations that benefit from GNSS reference station installation include:
For large projects or remote regions, a dedicated GNSS reference station can significantly improve positioning accuracy, efficiency, and operational reliability.
A properly installed GNSS reference station supporting RTK corrections can provide positioning accuracy at the centimeter level for surveying and construction applications.
A GNSS base station remains fixed and broadcasts correction data, while a rover receives those corrections to calculate highly accurate positions in the field.
A CORS (Continuously Operating Reference Station) network is a group of GNSS reference stations that provide positioning corrections over a larger geographic area.
If your organization needs a GNSS reference station installed, Surveying with Robert provides professional installation and setup to ensure reliable positioning corrections and long-term system performance.
