1 Purpose

1.1

The purpose of this standard is to define the requirements for and the procedures for

performing and recording topographical surveys and to define the controls on the use

of Ordnance Survey (OS) mapping.

2 Scope

2.1

The scope of this standard is to define:

a) the requirements for topographical surveys and mapping performed by LU and its Suppliers surveying LU fixed assets;

b) the requirements for topographical surveys and mapping for projects promoted by LU or its Suppliers on land and assets not currently owned by LU and;

c) the procedures to control the use of OS mapping and other OS survey products that are licensed to LU.

2.2

This standard replaces 1-026 A1

3 Requirements

3.1 London Survey Grid and datum

3.1.1 3.1.1.1

London Survey Grid (LSG) definition
All topographical survey and mapping work shall be reported on the London Survey Grid.

Note:

The London Survey Grid is a Transverse Mercator Projection with parameters chosen to minimise grid distortion caused by the Earth’s curvature over the LU area. The distortion is such that for large portions of the area projection corrections can be ignored. The Grid was formerly known as the LU Grid, the LUL Grid or the Crossrail Grid

A network of primary survey stations with London Survey Grid co-ordinates has been established across London.
3.1.1.2 LSG height datum shall be used. The LSG height datum level is set at approximately 100m below OS Datum at Newlyn.

Note:

The LSG height datum is an orthometric height datum chosen to provide positive values for areas of interest to LU. This datum is realised by the network of OS benchmarks that have been connected by spirit levelling to LU survey control points. . In areas that will interface with Crossrail projects the Crossrail First Order benchmarks should be used. Trials in 2009 indicated that GPS survey heights can be transformed using the Ordnance Survey Geoid Model 2002 (OSGM02), plus the 100m shift, to produce acceptable LSG Height Datum values

3.1.2 Grid computation 3.1.2.1 Distances shall be reduced to the WGS 84 spheroid. 3.1.2.2 The London Survey Grid scale factors given in Attachment 7.1 shall be used.

3.1.3 Relationships between London Survey Grid and other grids
3.1.3.1 Ordnance Survey grid (also known as the British National Grid or OSGB36) 3.1.3.1.1 The formulae in Tables 1 and 2 in Attachment 7.3 shall be used for conversion of OS
mapping to and from London Survey Grid within the areas shown in Attachment 7.2. These formulae are accurate to a commensurate standard as the OS mapping ie +/400mm.
3.1.3.1.2 To obtain more precise conversions of existing survey information held on the OS grid a local best fit formula shall be derived from the nearest primary or other common survey control stations.

3.1.3.2 JLE grid
The formulae in Tables 3 and 4 in Attachment 7.5 shall be used for conversion of JLE digital data to and from London Survey Grid within the areas shown in Attachment 7.4.

Note:

Automation of conversion. LU holds a grid converter utility designed to convert MicroStation 2D and 3D design files from one co-ordinate system to another. It will change a file’s scale, rotation, location, working units and global origin.

3.1.4 3.1.4.1

Control surveys
Primary Control stations consist of the original control points that were used as a basis for the Crossrail and Earth Structures Projects and were confirmed by the 2002 reobservation programme. These are considered to be permanent points in long term stable locations. The co-ordinate values shall not be changed without an amendment to this standard. These surveys have been computed as a single coherent system known as the London Survey Grid based on WGS84. Transformation parameters have been established to the National Grid (OSGB36). In 2002 a re-observation program was carried out by LU which proved the consistency of the original work and established transformation parameters to ETRS89. Further analysis by Prof Marek

Ziebart of University College London in April 2009 confirmed the transformation parameters. The list of Primary control points is included as Attachment 7.6

Note: Primary Control Surveys have been carried out for the Crossrail Project and the LU Earth Structures Project.

3.1.4.2

Secondary control points consist of control schemes that are based on Primary control and have been adjusted by a rigorous method. These control points shall be permanent points in long term stable locations. The co-ordinate values may be varied as a result of re-observation and re-computation. Such variations shall only be introduced after the LU Land Survey Manager has notified all parties that have received a controlled issue of this information and no objections have been raised. Secondary control points shall be the minimum requirement for surveys in project interface areas.

3.1.4.3

Third order control points consist of control schemes that are based on any combination of Primary, Secondary or Third Order control and have been adjusted by a rigorous method. The control points shall be established to be durable and stable for the duration of the project. The project surveyor may only vary the co-ordinate values as a result of re-observation and re-computation in which case the point will be renumbered. The LU Land Survey Manager shall distribute revised values to parties that have received a controlled issue of this information.

3.1.4.4

Fourth order control points consist of control schemes that are based on any combination of Primary, Secondary or Third Order control. The control points may be in situation where the durability or stability is doubtful or where conditions have prevented a rigorous regime of observation and computation. The project surveyor may vary the co-ordinate values as a result of re-observation and re-computation. The LU Land Survey Manager shall not further distribute this information.

3.1.5

GPS and ETRS89 The following Seven Parameter Transformation shall be used when converting ETRS89 data onto the London Survey Grid based on the Geoid model OSGM02

Method Rotation about x axis Rotation about y axis Rotation about z axis Translation along x axis Translation along y axis Translation along z axis Scale factor (PPM)

Seven Parameter -0°00'03.577824" 0°00'03.484437" 0°00'02.767646"
19.019m 115.122m -97.287m 18.60847540

Note: Note:

The convention used for the rotations is that a positive rotation acts in a clockwise sense as viewed along the rotation axis looking towards the origin. Checks should be made to ensure that this notation is used correctly.
GPS has been used to establish the entire primary control network, and is now routinely used for survey work. The transformation parameters between London Survey Grid and ETRS89 allow the use of recorded base station data from the National GPS Network service.
