Abstract 

This article describes the development and field implementation of an advanced geodetic station designed to support multi-component geodetic monitoring. The station establishes a unified geodetic framework that seamlessly integrates GNSS, InSAR, geometric levelling, gravimetry, and high-precision linear-angular surveying, enabling comprehensive and cross-validated ground motion analysis. The design was implemented as part of research programs focused on deformation monitoring of the Dnister Hydroelectric Complex and the Rivne Nuclear Power Plant. Installation was carried out in multiple stages, allowing for field testing and optimization of the deployment methodology. GNSS measurements demonstrated the structural reliability of the station and confirmed its suitability for high-precision geodetic applications. The proposed engineering solution offers broad applicability in projects addressing geodynamic process monitoring, assessment of anthropogenic impacts, and the expansion of the national geodetic framework.
