Warning!!! The following content is the methodology and reasoning used by the Surveyors at ODOT District 3 for scaling grid coordinates to ground. It is not to be construed as standard practice for all of ODOT. You must contact each individual ODOT District Survey Operations Manager to determine the method used and final deliverable for their respective Districts.
Grid to Ground and State Plane Coordinates Why do we worry about this?

Ohio Revised Code157.03 Plane co-ordinates; description
The plane co-ordinates of a point on the earth’s surface, to be used in expressing the position or location of such point in the appropriate zone of the systems specified in section 157.01 of the Revised Code, shall consist of two distances, expressed in United States survey feet and decimals of a United States survey foot when using the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1927, and expressed in meters and decimals of a meter when using the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1983…
We find the practice of having Grid coordinates in meters and Ground coordinates in feet a simple and effective way to distinguish between the two systems.
Ohio Revised Code157.04 Evidence of corner location, purchaser need not rely on system description
Plane co-ordinates, used to reference and describe land boundary corners and made part of the recorded description of such corners, shall be considered adequate evidence of the location of such corners in the absence of original physical monuments or other acceptable controlling evidence of original corner locations. In all instances where reference has been made to such co-ordinates in land surveys, the scale, sea level, and grid factors must also be stated for the survey lines used in computing ground distances and areas.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to require a purchaser or mortgagee of real property to rely wholly on a land description, any part of which depends exclusively upon either Ohio co-ordinate system.

21
Ohio Revised Code157.09 Distances, bearings, and areas computed indirectly from co-ordinates
Distances, bearings, and areas computed indirectly from co-ordinates shall be considered acceptable measurement evidence for land and other surveys if such co-ordinates have been determined in accordance with sections 157.04, 157.07, and 157.08 of the Revised Code
The Error Piggy Bank

Why introduce unnecessary error?
What errors are acceptable?
You be the Judge.
Don’t feed the Error Pig!
10/2/2015
23
We eliminate the errors we can by using due diligence in taking our measurements.
We keep our equipment in proper adjustment.
We stay conscious of the weather and input the proper atmospheric corrections in our data collectors and total stations to compensate for temperature and pressure.
We scale all of our jobs to ground coordinates to minimize the effects of the differences between the ellipsoid and ground.
Don’t feed the Error Pig!

B.PrimaryProjectControlPrimary Project Control will govern the positioning for all ODOT projects. After establishing the coordinates for primary project control, ensure all survey work is adjusted relative to the established control monuments.
C.PrimaryProjectControlType
Primary Project Control consists of two available monument types and two positioning methods. Use one of the following monument types and positioning methods unless otherwise specified by the Department:
*Monument
Type Monument Controls **Project
Category ***Positioning
Methods A Horizontal &Vertical Major Static GNSS B Horizontal with a Separate Temporary
Benchmark Minor and Minimal
++Static GNSS or ODOT VRS
* If site geology or site conditions do not permit placement of the monument, contact the District Survey Operations Manager.
** Project Category is defined in the Project Development Process Manual.
*** Contact the District Survey Operations Manager if GNSS positioning is not feasible due to site conditions.
++ Use only one positioning method for project control on a single project. Do not combine Static GNSS and ODOT VRS for project control.

Field Work: Measuring Control Points
Initial survey control is collected as grid coordinates in meters
Grid coordinates are the direct mathematical conversion from WGS 84 (Latitude, Longitude, Ellipsoid) to State Plane Coordinates.

Field Work: Measuring Control Points
Depending on the size of the job and number of control points to be set, the horizontal positioning of the control normally only takes a few hours.
Leveling is typically performed on the control points to establish precise elevations.
We can also start our topographic mapping at this time (before control is formally established). As long as the control points are processed and entered into a Trimble Business Center project as Survey Control before the data collector files are imported, the data automatically adjusts to the control points.
Field Work: Measuring Control PointsType “A” Monuments
F.StaticGNSSDataCollection
Collect a minimum of 3 sessions of static GNSS data consisting of at least 4 hours per session for each primary project control monument. Ensure the survey equipment is removed and reinstalled over the monument between sessions. Ensure proper GNSS survey planning to achieve the required data quality as outlined in this specification. Consider the following when planning the GNSS survey: positional dilution of precision (PDOP), number of satellites, mask angle, collection rate, multipath, solar activity, etcetera.
G.StaticGNSSDataProcessing
Process the collected data to determine the Northing, Easting, and Elevation (Orthometric Height) for each session using National Geodetic Survey‟s OPUS (Online Positioning User Service). Use the rapid or precise ephemeris only. Ensure the correct antenna height, make, and model are utilized. Use the same three base stations when processing a primary project control point in OPUS. The user must manually select the base stations to be used in the OPUS processing.

H.ODOTVRSDataCollection
Collect the Northing, Easting, and Elevation coordinates using 5 second observations at a 1 second epoch rate. Collect a minimum of 5 observations for each project control monument. Note: More than 5 observations may be required to meet the minimum RMSE requirements specified below. Ensure the survey equipment is removed and reinstalled over the monument between sessions. Consider the following when planning and performing VRS surveys: positional dilution of precision (PDOP), number of satellites, mask angle, multipath, solar activity, etcetera.
Field Work: Measuring Control Points
Eliminate centering error
Take (4) shots, rotating the rod 90 degrees after each observation
Eliminate bad initializations
Physically break initialization between sets by turning the antenna upside-down or covering the antenna
Eliminate repeat site visits

J.PrimaryProjectControlMonumentHorizontalCoordinatesThe Northing and Easting primary project control monument coordinates are determined by taking the average of each coordinate component from the OPUS or ODOT VRS solutions that meet the RMSE requirements as specified in Section 502.2 I.
K.PrimaryProjectControlMonumentVerticalCoordinatesEstablish the elevations of primary project control monuments or their associated temporary bench marks by differential leveling. Refer to section 502.4 for leveling procedures. Differential leveling for primary project control monuments and temporary benchmarks will originate from, and close on, the primary project control monument closest to the center of the project.
Hold the elevation calculated from the vertical component of the OPUS or ODOT VRS solutions for theprimary project control monument closest to the center of the project. Ensure the elevations for the primarycontrol monument meet the RMSE requirements as specified in Section 502.2 I. As a check, compare theleveled elevations to the GNSS determined elevations from Section 502.2 I. Highlight any differences thatexceed 0.10 U.S. Survey Foot and contact the District Survey Operations Manager immediately to determinea course of action prior to performing any additional work.
Processing
L.SecondaryandTemporaryProjectControlSecondary and Temporary project control for surveying or construction purposes are to be positioned relative to the primary project control. Establish a monument type sufficient to ensure stability for the anticipated duration of project or task to be performed. Establish secondary and temporary project control at an accuracy to ensure conformance to the project plans.
M.ProjectScaleFactorIf a project scale factor is required, use the following method for establishing the combined scale factor:
1. If Static GNSS is used to determine the positions for primary project control monuments, use the average of the OPUS calculated combined scale factors for the monument closest to the center of the project. Ensure the scale factor is calculated from OPUS solutions that meet the RMSE requirements. Scale the project about the origin of the coordinate system (0,0).
If VRS is used to position primary project control monuments, perform a 20 minute static observation on the monument closest to the center of the project. Submit the static session to OPUS-RS to obtain the combined scale factor. Scale the project about the origin of the coordinate system (0,0) using the combined scale factor.
