Provides geodetic information services related to the Province's control survey network consisting of three infrastructures:
1. Conventional
Network
2. The New Brunswick High
Precision Network (NBHPN)
3. The New Brunswick Active
Control System (NBACS)
Forestry and resource-based industries, land developers, surveyors, engineers, environmental resource management consultants, geomatic industries (GIS), government departments or agencies, municipal planning, mapping and value adders etc.
Service New Brunswick manages the geographic information infrastructure for the Province. This includes the maintenance of the control survey network, the development of standards, development and distribution of various tools to relate the ATS77 datum and the new NAD83 (CSRS) datum as proclaimed under an amendment to the Surveys Act on April 1st, 1999.
Products :
1. Conventional
Network
Since the early sixties, approximately 26,000 control
monuments were established on the ground around the province. It was widely used
as the control network for the surveying of most properties in the booming home
construction period of the seventies. This old network is not being physically maintained since1996. Only the mathematical values were revised to NAD83 CSRS adjusted status in 1999.
2. The New
Brunswick High Precision Network (NBHPN)
A GPS based infrastructure
of 142 stations linked to the CSRS (Canadian Spatial Reference System). This
network is physically maintained through an annual field inspection; replacement
of destroyed points and updates to the location sketches in both French and
English; NAD83 (CSRS) coordinatesin both NB Stereographic coordinates and Latitude/Longitude along with pictures and interactive reference map.
3. The New
Brunswick Active Control System (NBACS)
Currently there are five Active Control
Stations (ACS) in New Brunswick. SNB presently provides RINEX data from these stations
to any provincial GPS users wanting static data for post-processing their GPS observations.
The RINEX files are available on an hourly basis through
the SNB Online Website. The ACS sites are located in Fredericton,
Moncton, Saint John, Miramichi and Bathurst. Negotiations are underway to have two more
in 2008 and they will be located in Edmundston and Woodstock.
No restrictions. Available at no charge through the
Service New Brunswick Online services Web site. Go to the Control Survey Network

Values, maps sketches and pictures are available or the GPS observations for the
NBACS.
