Municipality set to unveil new surveying system in Kuwait

A new land surveying system is set to be put in use to determine uncultivated lands for habitation through direct satellite internet link, a Municipality official said on Sunday. The apparatus will use the most advanced technology in the field and will be scoping unused land intended for residential, industrial, agricultural or state property purposes, Deputy Director General for Surveying Abdullah Al-Emadi told KUNA. The old system used between 2,500 to 3,000 points around the country to carry out the role, while the new system needs only 13. The scale for error has also been minimised from 10cm to only 1cm. The new system also requires little to no maintenance while the former needed routine annual maintenance. As the nation's development plans urge venturing out into uninhabited lands for foreign investment to pour in and to open up new job opportunities for Kuwaitis, the Municipality is key to these plans and has so far completed 50 percent of the project, said the official. This role also extends to providing an expert opinion on the location best suited for newly-launched businesses in the country
