# HUNTS POINT GAS PLANT N CHIM — NGS KU3828 NGS triangulation station KU3828 is located at the northern chimney of the Hunts Point Gas Plant facility in the Bronx, New York (40.8053°N, 73.8734°W). This trig point serves as a primary control station for regional geodetic networks in the New York metropolitan area. The monument supports high-accuracy positioning work including static GNSS sessions, RTK operations, and orthometric height determination through differential leveling. As an established trigonometric control point, it provides essential reference geometry for local network densification projects, large-scale mapping initiatives, and infrastructure surveys requiring tie-in to the National Spatial Reference System. Field crews should verify current accessibility conditions at the industrial facility before survey operations.
