Architecture / Architectural survey
French term or phrase: référentiel
It's that tricky "référentiel" again. Nothing in the glossaries seems to fit (as usual for this word!)

Méthodologie des relevés
Nous mettrons en station notre appareil sur les points durs.
Nous réalisons les observations en fonction des contraintes liées aux différentes activités et entreprises présentes.
Nous contrôlerons ensuite les points éloignés de notre **référentiel** et pratiquerons au relevé tachéométrique des cibles.

For information, here is my draft:

Survey methodology
We stand our equipment on firm points.
We make the observations taking into consideration the constraints related to the various activities and companies present.
We next check the points at a distance from our xxxxxxxx and carry out a tacheometric survey of targets.

State Plane Coordinate System. It is desirable that the surveys and construction drawings for
different projects be correlated with each other and with other Federal agencies. This is accomplished by
the use of the State Plane Coordinate System as the coordinate system of the project, and insuring that this
grid reference is adequately tied in to a nationwide geodetic reference system. In some cases, an arbitrary
or artificial coordinate system may be used.
