CORS: The Backbone of High Accuracy Surveying in Nigeria

Surveying has always relied on precision. From land boundaries to infrastructure development, accuracy determines the quality of every project. Today, one technology is transforming how surveyors and businesses achieve this precision: CORS (Continuously Operating Reference Stations).Unlike the traditional base and rover setup, which requires bulky equipment, CORS delivers instant, reliable GNSS corrections directly through the internet. This makes surveying faster, easier, and more cost-effective than…

CORS Surveying in Nigeria: Why It’s Smarter Than Base and Rover

Surveying in Nigeria is evolving, and one of the biggest changes is the rise of Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS). For years, surveyors relied on the traditional base and rover GNSS method. While effective, it often meant carrying bulky equipment, spending 30–60 minutes setting up a base station, and being limited to about 5–10 km coverage. Accuracy was good, but it depended heavily on how…
