CASE SAMPLES SELECTED CASES LARGE-SCALE TITLE PROCESSING FOR COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT Lonrho Africa aimed to subdivide a 50,000-acre holding in Eldoret into a multi-use development featuring agricultural, residential, and industrial plots of 5 100 acres each. Highland Surveyors completed the physical planning, environmental assessment, and obtained approvals from government departments at the local and national levels. Cadastral survey and processing of the 3,000 titles was done in just six months. LARGE-SCALE TITLE PROCESSING TO LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR KENYA S ADVANCED TELECOMS INDUSTRY The parastatal Kenya Post and Telecommunications owned hundreds of plots scattered throughout the country, dating back to the early 1950s. While many housed very expensive towers and other key telecommunications equipment, the plots lacked any documentation of ownership. Highland Surveyors successfully processed the part development plans and letters of allotment, carried out title surveys, secured approvals from scores of local authorities, and prepared the hundreds of titles. This effort literally laid the groundwork for privatizing the telecommunications industry, since only with secure titles could the parastatal attract the investment that would ultimately make Kenya a telecommunications leader.

SELECTED CASES SATELLITE MAPPING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT OF THE MT. KENYA ECOSYSTEM Highland Surveyors performed satellite mapping of the entire Mt. Kenya ecosystem showing vegetation, soil types, and land use. These detailed images enabled the government to make strategic decisions regarding which agency-- the Kenya Wildlife Service or the Kenya Forest Service would maintain jurisdiction over which areas of the ecosystem. AERIAL MAPPING FOR STRATEGIC URBAN PLANNING To help the Ministry of Local Government better plan urban growth in and around Meru, Mtwapa and Wajir Counties, Highland Surveyors is now performing digital aerial topographical mapping of these towns. This is the first time some of these areas have been mapped in sufficient detail to enable physical planning for sustainable, regulated urban development. THE OFFICIAL, STATE-OF-THE-ART, TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP OF MUCH OF NAIROBI Requested by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Highland Surveyors, using the latest photogrammetric techniques, produced the latest official map of 40 percent of Nairobi County, at a scale of 1:10,000. This digital topographical map forms the basis of a significant amount of planning for infrastructure, residential and other development projects. HIGHLAND SURVEYORS COMPANY PROFILE
