Correction services in New Brunswick
New Brunswick crews choose between commercial network RTK, crowd-sourced base stations, satellite-delivered corrections and their own base.
| Type | Typical operator | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial network RTK | A private provider with stations across several provinces. | How many correction sources serve your area, the published service level and its remedy, and the term. |
| Crowd-sourced network | Independent owners hosting single base stations. | Distance to the nearest base, station uptime, and how each base was surveyed. |
| Satellite or state-space (PPP-RTK, SSR) | A provider broadcasting an error model without a local base. | Convergence time, accuracy and vertical performance. |
| Your own base | Your crew, on a surveyed point. | The survey of the base point, range, and the time spent setting it up and guarding it. |
Coordinates and heights
RTK Premium delivers NAD83(CSRS), epoch 2010.0, on every New Brunswick connection, and ITRF on request. NAD83(CSRS) and NAD83(2011) are separate realisations of NAD83, so set Canadian projects and controllers to NAD83(CSRS) rather than the US frame. The New Brunswick Surveys Act has made NAD83(CSRS) the official reference system since 1999, with plane coordinates on the New Brunswick Stereographic Double projection: origin 46°30′ N, 66°30′ W, scale factor 0.999912, false easting 2,500,000 m and false northing 7,500,000 m. Older provincial data sits in ATS77 or NAD27, which use different false eastings and northings, so check the datum before you mix coordinates. Canadian heights follow CGVD2013, which the CGG2013a geoid model turns into orthometric heights from ellipsoidal ones, while older data and many benchmarks still carry CGVD28 heights. The province names its heights CGVD2013(CGG2013), and provincial lidar and terrain products come in CGVD28 or CGVD2013, so check each dataset. Set the project, the controller and the correction service to the same frame, projection and height datum before the job starts.
