Cadastral Reference Mark (CRM)

This is the first time we are using GPS to set up cadastral reference mark (CRM) where
could not find any boundary marks in this estate. This estate is neighbour with jungle
reserve and previous owner had dug a wide drain along the boundary and suspected the
boundary marks has been removed while the process of digging by ecavator. However,
need to confirm my survey before able to refix the old boundarys.


The GPS need to set at open sky area with no shade tree or object



Energetic and young team



We are using static method with 1 pair of GPS.

According to survey circular 2009, part of survey datum is 2 new CRM with distance no less
than 30m and observation can be in static method with condition both points must observe
on same time. The observation only take about 30 minutes except the master set
observation where the observation was about an hour.

We also set 2 CRM where the estate manager show us the bundary mark with small holder.
By this method we do not need to traverse where involve of time and cost.

According to our GPS consultant, even through we have CRM and NDCDB dataset. We still
need to search for old boundary marks because no all the NDCDB are valid. Land owner
only believe in boundary stone and no the NDCDB coordinate where JUPEM just
implemented recently.

The second reason is due to the conversion from WGS84 to cassini solder. The GPS
coordinate is based on the centre of earth with is similar with GDM2000. However, the
coordinate for cassini solder is based on the state origin and the error will propagate bigger
when far from the origin. Based on the previous exercise, the consultant did mention the
error can be out to 10-20 meters. n my case found the old boundary mark where neigbour
with this lot and just need to do fitting to search the relevan old marks.
