Geodetic Shift Tolerances
While DGN95 is often assumed within ±1m of WGS84, high-precision engineering requires chaining through SRGI2013 using a 7-parameter shift to achieve ~0.2m mean residual accuracy.
Civil & Legal Implications
Badan Informasi Geospasial (BIG) explicitly treats older datums as obsolete. Misusing the 'DGN95≈WGS84' assumption on offshore concessions can produce positioning errors larger than contractual tolerances.
Real-World Infrastructure Risk
Offshore LNG terminals and deep-water pipelines in Indonesia require sub-meter alignment. Relying on a 0-parameter shift can skew underwater asset positioning by over a meter.
