1. Provision of Control, Land & Topographical Surveying solutions and management of geo-technologies, products and services.
2. Development of a Land Information Systems (LIS) for land data & information generation, application and dissemination.
3. Establishing efficient Land & Topo Surveys methods; partnerships as well as in global strategic alliances and advisory services.

The aim of topo survey is to: (i) Produce Topographical and Cadastral Maps of the project area; (ii) Map Topographic Features and generate topographic (cross-sectional) profiles; (iii) To establish the vertical and horizontal controls for accurately defining locations within project area.
