   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.

   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.

   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. In the second example, the conversion factor for Arroyo Seco is 2.99.

   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 ...

   Those new grids (and supporting information) are called VERTCON 3.0 release 20190601. The grids in VERTCON 3.0 release 20190601 are replacements for those in VERTCON 2.1, which transformed only between NGVD 29 and NAVD 88 for CONUS. However VERTCON is no longer the name of a stand-alone transformation tool.

   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 I convert NGVD 29 elevation to NAVD 88?

   • Elevations referenced to NGVD 29 can be converted to NAVD 88 by using a conversion factor. This conversion factor is just added to the NGVD 29 elevation to compute the equivalent NAVD 88 elevation. The simplest method is to use the offset used by FEMA.

   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.
