Again, the predetermination of measuring technology guides to the design of reference points in
the tunnel floors and walls just like on the magnets and other components, which have to be aligned
to very tight tolerances (fiducial points). No permanent instrument monuments (like pillars) will be
installed within any tunnel. Each reference point will be shaped in a way, that removable targets
with a diameter of 1.5 inch can be inserted with highest repeatability (e.g. ball mounted retroreflectors,
etc. – see Figure 2.4.144 and Figure 2.4.145 © Metronom Automation GmbH).

Test laboratory
Instrument testing should be an important part of the internal quality assurance program. Establishing
an appropriate test laboratory to do performance checks, investigate test procedures, calibrate
and maintain the definitely forthcoming manifold systems in the scope of metrology should
happen as early as possible. Conceptual work including formulation of a catalogue of requirements
on laboratory design – especially climatic condition and building stability -, along with specification
of inspection equipment and much more, is to be started soon.
Software
Suitable metrology software that provides running a number of different instrument - and hence -
observation types, simulating point accuracies from expected observational uncertainties and, with
