Overview

Kirchhoff Surveyors was a traditional Land Survey firm that used CAD-based software for survey jobs. They had won a contract with the National Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) to undertake an audit of all DWS land assets, such as land under reservoirs, canals, pipelines and water transfer schemes. A Professional Land Surveyor was required to assess the status of each land parcel and sign off on reports but the firm soon realised that this was very much a GIS project.
