Advantages: Disadvantages:
• Direct acquisition of 3D • Accuracy depends on satellite
Coordinates availability, atmospheric
• No base to rover visibility effect, satellite geometry and
requirements multipath
• Day and Night Data Collection • Less precise than TS and DL
• High accuracy on horizontal • Satellite Dependent
position using static method
• Fast data acquisition

General Considerations:
• Narrowest neck of the waterway
• Well defined and highly resistant banks
• Stable and permanent channel
• Foundation and geological considerations
• Destruction of scour, erosion and drifts
• Sharp curve shall be avoided at the approaches
• Skewed crossing must be avoided as much as possible
• In rolling country, the grade approaching the bridge must be ascending
