Abstract
The objective of this work is to present the current situation of the vertical geodetic network of Chile that was principally established from 1931 onwards. At this time, the network is composed of a great number of first order points that are distributed on different leveling lines with reference to the mean sea level, and on different highways and roads along a large extent of the national territory. Also, the present situation of the national gravimetric database will be presented which lately has been densified. The aforementioned is the starting point to structure the project that will permit Chile to have a new vertical reference system.
