## Government and Public Sector

# A cadastre that matches what is on the ground

We do urban and rural cadastre, surveys for design packages and construction control on public works. The orthophoto and LiDAR give the geometry of each parcel; boundaries and land use are checked in the field.

A municipal cadastre goes out of date fast: people build, subdivide and occupy land without the map recording it. We fly the city with drones or airborne LiDAR, compare the orthophoto with the current cadastral database and deliver a geospatial database your cadastre office can keep updating.

Beyond cadastre, we survey the ground for public investment design packages, check quantities and the As-Built during construction, and produce hazard maps to set prevention priorities. After a debris flow or a flood, we measure the affected area for the damage assessment.

## Where we work with the public sector

### Cadastre and land-use planning

Parcel surveys, base mapping and the agency’s geospatial database.

### Public works and infrastructure

Surveys for design packages, construction control and quantity checks.

### Land title regularization

Boundary delineation, reconciliation of official records and land regularization.

### Disaster risk management

Hazard and risk mapping, and post-disaster damage assessment.

### Utility networks and public services

Mobile mapping and georeferenced inventory of networks and street furniture.

### Urban areas and growth

Monitoring of informal settlement, urban growth and zoning.

## Four business lines, from planning to monitoring

Plan, design, build, operate and monitor. The same four lines in every sector, with the activities and deliverables that sector needs.
