vertikalreferenser
Vertikalreferenser, often translated as vertical references or height references, are fundamental concepts in surveying, engineering, and construction. They define a point or plane from which vertical measurements, such as elevation or depth, are taken. These references are crucial for ensuring consistency and accuracy in projects where height is a critical factor.
The most common vertical reference in many parts of the world is the Mean Sea Level (MSL).
The establishment and maintenance of vertical reference systems are typically managed by national mapping and surveying
