SUMMARY:New Datums – New Coordinates – New Heights
DESCRIPTION:Event Details: \nDate: September 10\, 2025\nTime: 1:30–2:30 PM ET\nOnline Presentation \nEarn 1 PDH \nFREE For All COPS Members  \nAre You Ready for 2025? \nIn 2025\, the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) and CO-OPS will release new\, improved horizontal and vertical datums—the most significant update in decades to the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS). \nThese changes will fundamentally redefine positional and elevation data across the United States. \nWhy This Matters \nThe adoption of these new datums will impact nearly every engineering discipline: \n\nCivil Engineering:\nDesign elevations\, drainage plans\, and infrastructure modeling will need to be updated to reflect new reference surfaces. Incorrect transformations could result in costly rework or regulatory noncompliance.\nTransportation Engineering:\nRoadway alignments\, bridge clearances\, and right-of-way boundaries will be affected by shifts in horizontal and vertical coordinates.\nStructural Engineering:\nSite plans and foundation elevations will require precise adjustment to match updated datums\, especially in coastal or subsiding regions.\nSurveying and Mapping:\nAll legacy data tied to NAD83 and NAVD88 will need careful conversion to maintain continuity with the new standards.\nUtilities and GIS Professionals:\nAsset locations\, service corridors\, and GIS datasets must be reconciled to avoid misalignment across systems.\n\nWhat You’ll Learn in This Session \n\nThe rationale and technical background behind the 2025 datum updates.\nExpected impacts to coordinate and elevation data across the country.\nDemonstrations of transformation and conversion tools.\nPractical guidance on transitioning your workflows and communicating changes to stakeholders.\n\nFeatured Speaker \nDavid Doyle\nFormer Chief Geodetic Surveyor\, National Geodetic Survey (NGS) \nDavid Doyle has over 40 years of experience in geodesy\, coordinate systems\, and datum modernization. He has played a leadership role in shaping national policies and educating professionals on geodetic standards. \nHis expertise will guide you through the technical\, regulatory\, and practical impacts of the 2025 datums—so you can prepare confidently. \nRecent Updates on the 2025 Datum Transition  \nThe National Geodetic Survey (NGS) and the Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) have shared new milestones in the modernization of the National Spatial Reference System: \n\nConfirmed 2025 Launch: The release remains on schedule for 2025\, with no further delays announced.\nNew Reference Frames: Four new terrestrial reference frames (including NATRF2022) and a new geopotential datum (NAPGD2022) will replace NAD83 and NAVD88.\nBeta Transformation Tools Available: Updated versions of tools like VERTCON3 and the NOAA Coordinate Conversion and Transformation Tool (NCAT) are available in beta for testing estimated coordinate and elevation shifts.\nFinal State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS2022) Zones: Most states now have finalized definitions for SPCS2022 zones. Many zones have been redefined\, which could create noticeable changes for engineering projects.\nRecommended Early Adoption: NGS encourages agencies\, surveyors\, and engineering firms to start evaluating and planning for data integration\, software updates\, and workflow changes.\n\nThese changes represent the most significant updates to national coordinate systems in over 30 years—and they will impact nearly every discipline that relies on geospatial data.
