Coordinate Systems for scin

Use your local coordinate systems directly in scin®.
If your required coordinate reference system (CRS) is not yet available, we can add it for you.

Built for global use

scin® supports a continuously growing library of coordinate systems for surveying, construction and infrastructure projects.

Supported:

  • WGS84
  • UTM
  • State Plane
  • National Coordinate Systems
  • Local Engineering Coordinate Systems
  • User-specific Transformations

And many more.

Missing your coordinate system?

No problem.

If your required coordinate system is not yet available in scin®, our team can integrate it based on your transformation parameters and reference information.

Typical examples:

  • National coordinate systems
  • Local grid systems
  • Engineering coordinate systems
  • Utility networks
  • Municipal coordinate systems

1. Submit your request

Provide details about the desired coordinate system.

2. Review & validation

Our geospatial team validates the supplied information.

3. Integration

The coordinate system is added to scin®.

4. Ready to use

The new CRS becomes available for your projects.

What information is required?

Depending on the coordinate system, we typically need:

Coordinate System Definition

  • Name of the coordinate system
  • EPSG code (if available)

Transformation Parameters

  • Transformation to WGS84
  • Ellipsoid definition
  • Projection parameters

Additional Files

  • NTv2 grid files
  • Geoid models
  • Reference data

Service Information

Processing Time

Typically 3–5 business days

Costs

Usually free of charge

Requirement

Complete technical documentation of the coordinate system.

Example:

Geoid definition and associated model as geotiff or geoid as to WSG84 definition. In the latter case, the geoid is a locally (whole GB) valid section of a shifted and scaled ellipsoid.

Mapping definition into the horizontal system (projection tmerc or other) of the corresponding ellipsoid and, if applicable, horizontal adjustment grid as NTv2 file or similar. False easting and false northing values and a description of the axis directions and the unit of the axes (m/foot/inch).
