   Quebec, Canada, was held fixed as the constraint, enabling NAVD 88 and the International Great Lakes Datum of 1985 to be one and the same. Now, other tide stations may have elevations other than zero. Since the establishment of NAVD 88, the preference has been for new flood hazard studies to be referenced to NAVD 88. 1.3.

   Jul 12, 2018 · The North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) is the vertical control datum established in 1991 by the minimum-constraint adjustment of the Canadian-Mexican-United States leveling observations. It held fixed the height of the primary tidal bench mark, referenced to the new International Great Lakes Datum of 1985 local mean sea level ...

   What does NAVD 88 stand for?

   • Vertical coordinate information is referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Vertical coordinate information for historical data collected and stored as National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) has been converted to NAVD 88 for this publication.

   What is the average conversion to NAVD 88?

   • An average conversion of 0.1 foot or less could be deceiving in areas that contain conversions to NAVD 88 that show large plus and minus variances. To illustrate this point, Table 2 shows a hypothetical datum conversion analysis where the average conversion to NAVD 88 was calculated as -0.09 foot.

   How do you convert NAVD 88 to NGVD 29?

   • The simplest method is to use the offset used by FEMA. In the eastern United States, the conversion factor is generally a single value for the whole community/county. NAVD 88 is lower than NGVD 29 in the east, so the conversion factor will be a negative number. The elevation converted to NAVD 88 will be a lower number than the elevation in NGVD 29.

   What is the building elevation in NAVD 88?

   • The result produced by VERTCON is shown below. Using this latitude and longitude, the conversion factor is 2.986 and the building elevation in NAVD 88 is 57.186. Rounded to a tenth of a foot, the building elevation is 57.2, which is the same as using the FEMA conversion factor.

   NFIP Vertical Datum p. 7 Conversion Instructions. In the first example, the countywide conversion factor is -0.609. The elevation in NAVD 88 would be: 54.2 + -0.609 = 53.591 or 53.6 ft. Remember, if you add a negative number to the existing elevation, the resulting elevation will be a lower number.

   Conversion between NAVD 88 and the commonly used NGVD 29 varies spatially; however, over most of the study area the following conversion can be used: NGVD 29 = NAVD 88 –3.6 feet. This conversion generally is accurate within about ± 0.5 feet for 95 percent of the study area.

   VERTCON 3.0 was a project whose intent was to create new “build software”, and use that software to build and release transformation grids capable of performing orthometric height transformations for a range of datums and regions in the National Spatial Reference System. Those new grids (and supporting information) are called VERTCON 3.0 ...

   Nov 4, 2020 · The NAVD 88 used some of the original data from 1929 but also re-leveled about 100,000 km. Originally scheduled to be completed in 1988, it was finished on June 15, 1991. The new datum produced fewer distortions than earlier vertical datums and more accurate elevations, according to Remondi.
