Abstract
A local geoid model for Evboriaria, Benin City using the geometric (GPS/Levelling) method was determined for calculation of mean sea level heights. Fifty points were established for the model and ten points were used for interpolation. The geoid heights were determined by finding the difference between the observed orthometric heights and the ellipsoidal heights. The polynomial regression model D was used for the interpolation of the orthometric heights. The computed mean standard deviation between the observed orthometric heights and the interpolated orthometric heights was ± 21cm. A mean geoidal undulation of 28.410m was computed using the gravimetric method. The computed orthometric heights using the gravimetry mean geoidal undulation were compared with the observed orthometric heights and seen to be identical. It is recommended that orthometric heights of project areas should be determined from GPS observations with the local geoid model of the area also determined.
