PASSIVE (GRAVITY)
Gravity Stations
Currently consists of 80 1st Order and 1200 2nd
Order Gravity Stations all over the country.
Data from this will be applied as correction to
the national network of levels and in the
determination of a geoid model for the country.

Philippine Active Geodetic Network (PageNET)
Data Policy
PageNET data and services are free for
government sectors
With minimal fee for private users
The Active Geodetic Stations
Typical AGS installation
Roof-based Installation
Pillars are anchored on reinforcement
bars of the building using four (4)
20mm expansion bolts.
Ground-based Installation
Made of concrete pillar
embedded on a ~3m-deep
drilled hole. Polymer c-bar
reinforcement assembly is
also embedded on the
concrete pillar for stability.
