誤った測地系(データム)の指定や、グリッド・地上補正(Grid-to-Ground)を適用しない座標変換は、1〜400mの位置ズレを引き起こします。これは測量過失請求や施工紛争の代表的な原因です。

When civil engineers and architects draft site plans, they assume the CAD lines correspond perfectly to the physical dirt on the job site. However, if the CAD file was drafted in State Plane NAD83(1986) but the surveyor stakes the building using modern GNSS WGS84, the blueprints will physically shift.

The Cost of Encroachment

If a commercial building is built utilizing the incorrect datum assumption, it may unknowingly cross a boundary setback line or even infringe onto a neighboring property. Correcting an active construction error of this magnitude easily scales into the hundreds of thousands of dollars in litigation, delay damages, and physical tear-down costs.

よくある技術的な質問

Who is liable for a datum shift engineering error?

Usually, liability falls on the Licensed Surveyor or Professional Engineer who stamped the final site plan or staked the property. It is generally considered professional negligence to fail to define and adhere to a unified coordinate management plan.
