Site Identification of the GNSS Monument Site Name : FLIN CACS-GSD Four Character ID : FLIN Monument Inscription : 965000 IERS DOMES Number : 40135M001 CDP Number : Monument Description : CONCRETE PIER, 50.8cm DIAMETER Height of the Monument : 1.50 (m) Monument Foundation : INVAR and STEEL RODS Foundation Depth : 3.00 (m) Marker Description : UNAVCO type antenna spike mount on Invar Rod Date Installed : 1996-06-05T00:00Z Geologic Characteristic : Bedrock Bedrock Type : Igneous/Metamorphic Bedrock Condition : Weatered Fracture Spacing : 50-200 cm Fault zones nearby : Distance/activity : Additional Information : The bottom 1m of the invar rod is grouted in : bedrock at a depth of 2-3m. The rod passes : through a foam sleeve inside a 3.8cm ABS pipe : to the top of the concrete pier. The top of : the invar rod is laterally stabilized by a : bronze plate at the top of the concrete pier. : A UNAVCO type antenna spike mount is used to : level and orient the antenna. Polypropelene : fibres are used instead of steel reinforcement : rods; a special superplasiticized fly ash : concrete mix has been used. The pier : construction was designed to minimize effects : of temperature on monument stability, : especially in the vertical. 2. Site Location Information City or Town : CFS FLIN FLON State or Province : SK Country : Canada Tectonic Plate : North American Approximate Position (ITRF) X coordinate (m) : -766174.46 Y coordinate (m) : -3611375.32 Z coordinate (m) : 5184056.22 Latitude (N is +) : +544332.16 Longitude (E is +) : -1015840.80 Elevation (m,ellips.) : 320.00 Additional Information : FLIN is a continuously tracking GNSS station : and is part of the Canadian Active Control : System (CACS). The station is located : in the vicinity of Flin Flon, Manitoba. : From Jun 1996 to Dec 2010, Flin was operated : by the Geological Survey of Canada as part of : the Western Canada Deformation Array (WCDA) : for monitoring crustal deformation on the : West Coast. The Geodetic Survey of Canada now : operates the site. 3.
