With horizontal shifts of up to 4m and vertical displacement of up to 1.5m the Christchurch Quake has certainly had the city (literally) on the move. One of our team, Brian Curtis, was in the area last week and took the dramatic photo above showing a 3m displacement! In this case the road boundary that was once straight will now have a dog-leg in it, the legal boundary will move with the ground movement. Our cadastral system is, thankfully, not a coordinate based cadastre and as with all surveys we look for evidence on the ground meaning old pegs, fences and survey marks near the site.
As the rebuild starts to kick in our team is gearing up to support engineers on the ground with the provision of high precision survey information.
