Wichita/Sedgwick County RTK Base Reference
The City of Wichita and Sedgwick County believe in providing high order Global Positioning System (GPS) reference data that helps establish greater accuracy and flexibility while performing surveying for a variety of applications. Most important is providing a reliable and consistent base for establishing spatial relationship for legal boundaries, infrastructure projects, environmental assessment and private enterprise development. And by integrating with the national network our methods are upheld to nationally recognized standards. The Wichita/Sedgwick County GPS CORS Network supports both static and RTK surveying. Static surveying includes occupying a point and collecting satellite telemetry for a period (usually 2 hours time adjusted by distance to reference station) and comparing that to the RINEX data provided by the base stations we support. RTK is surveying on the fly, without loss of accuracy and is supported by base stations with internal TCP/Com transmission. The entire Wichita/Sedgwick County CORS Network is managed via Leica's Spider 3.2.6 which is the latest upgrade available. This software application links all of the GPS bases to a central location so they can be controlled remotely to log the RINEX data and transmit satellite positions to the Network's users. A land surveyor, a P.E., or a contractor wishing to have access to the Reference Station Network should email Kelly Fleming (kfleming@wichita.gov) with their name, company, phone number, and email address. You will be provided a user name and a password. There is no cost to be a user of this network. Please know that the network requires periodic updates from time to time. Advance notice will be proivded when there may be a service interruption.
