Digital Mapping / Cadastral Mapping
Cadastral Mapping
While MNC solutions are continually evolving and maturing, they are grounded in our core service offerings, which include Cadastral and Title /Parcel Mapping. The SDW Provincial Cadastral Map base is a compilation of all plans of survey registered with Alberta Land Titles. Together with its partner, AltaLIS, MNC is responsible for the continuous maintenance of the provincial cadastral base.
New plans of survey are continuously updated in the cadastral base almost immediately after a plan of survey is registered with Alberta Land Titles. Currently 85% of plans are entered into the base within 24 hours of registration. To date, over 55,000 (digital) plans of survey have been integrated into the base mapping system.
The datasets we manage are an essential base component of a number of existing and planned AM, FM, and GIS initiatives; especially those used by the Government and major Utility companies.
The business knowledge intrinsic to the MNC teams assured the success of the restructuring of the provincial cadastral datasets. To achieve this goal, MNC undertook the significant challenges associated with matching line work and other discrepancies between datasets. Our experts also structured a database, that tracks all changes to the cadastral base over time. In addition, they continually strive to be certain all of the Provincial datasets maintained by AltaLIS are completely in-sync with each other. As a result, recent data is now accessible to all related parties on a vendor neutral basis. The benefits realized by the Province of Alberta and other users, as a result of the re-engineered Cadastral maintenance processes include:
- Data maintenance fees which are less than half the Province's previous costs.
- A process and mechanism whereby reduced maintenance costs are recoverable.
- A considerably more efficient turnaround time; data is now available within hours and days of registration rather than months.
- Data quality and formats have been significantly improved; the quality of the data is completely GIS ready and loads directly into user systems.
- MNC sponsored data standards now ensure data quality over time and over the breadth of a large geographical territory in the Province of Alberta .
